Male privilege is, among other things, the one sided ownership of what is true, at least when it matters to them, such that men are right unless you can prove them wrong, women are wrong unless we can prove we are right, and the ability to provide satisfactory proof is a fiction.

This is starting to feel like an issue on which Morrison has dug in, and doesn't want to be seen to back down. If so, it's an appalling dereliction of his duty to this country. Imperial College modelling, which swayed Trump and Johnson, included school closure!

What is he thinking? The PM announces new rules limiting one person to every 4 sqm in enclosed spaces. But insists schools and pre-schools stay open. Every parent thinking - why is my life more important than my child’s? Completely daft.

Thing is: there is no, as in none, as in it doesn’t exist, amount of money at a macro level that can solve this economic crisis. We need to reorientate how stuff is produced: pouring money into markets that are getting to the point of being unable to function will not work.
