Oof. It's so annoying when you're listening to someone thinking wow! I never knew any of this amazing info! And then they drop one point that overlaps with your own knowledge and it turns out to be fairly dubious and rhetorical. In this case, the Aussie PM Scott Morrison was not in any way courageous, he has never done a courageous thing in his life. He insisted on investigating China to play upon anti-Chinese sentiment in his voter base and distract from his unpopularity after a few big scandals broke. He was effectively a COVID denier for as long as that was popular, then pulled a 180 when he realised it wasn't playing well.
