She's another one who doesn't want this bullshittery to end.
🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[nickbrajkovich]

Funny how these clowns never asked to see the evidence to support the unjustified draconian measures in the first place

[nickbrajkovich]

Just demonstrates how clueless your average MP is !!...I wouldn't trust this woman with my wheelie bin

[scotspaul]

Karin, YOU can do as YOU please BUT don't push your CRAP on the rest of us.

[martyncuer]

Did this woman ask for evidence all 3 times that the restrictions were imposed? I am pretty damn sure she didn't. So well done Julia for challenging her on "everyone wants the restrictions to end" as she clearly doesn't. A warning to anyone thinking of voting for this shower in future elections.

Another example of an arrogant politician making empty and unsupported statements as "scientific facts"
A large part of the problems of the last 2 years has been people like this voicing their "opinions" as being
unquestionable facts

Hi talkRADIO, I can't help feeling a bit sorry for the poor woman when she asks for scientific evidence for dropping measures that had no scientific foundation to start with, it has been one of the fundamental problems that they have ha from the start, measures that were implemented on the back of speculation in the first place there can never be any evidence applied at any time ever.
Cheers, Richard.

[gypojohn]

This woman just wants the restrictions to continue.

[MrStooge.]

Perhaps she would like to give us the scientific evidence supporting restrictions while she is at it. Shouldn't take long as there isn't any. Anywhere.

[briantaylor]

FOLLOW THE SCIENCE MY ARSE .THATS WHY WERE IN THIS MESS.

[thomascondon]

Please don't let this woman anywhere the reins of power!

[lucyallsop]

Where was the scientific evidence for restrictions? This lot never demanded scientific evidence for restrictions.

[lionelazulay]

I think the question should be: where's the scientific evidence for keeping them? Javid needs to go to prison for his complicity in this whole covid scandal.

[antonelliarico]

Treating people like they are diseased is shocking

[deanwalker]

Oh so now they want the scientific evidence because it's not what they want, but before it was feelings and no scientific evidence

[paulgeddes]

Professor Mark Woolhouse, a member of SPI-M, the modelling group on SAGE has a book out called "The year the world went mad" expresses deep regret that he and the other Government Advisors got almost everything completely

[nockianlifter]

Thought they said having multiple jabs meant that you were protected, so, if Smyth and her vulnerable patient are jabbed, then why test ?

[stephenogden]

Who on earth would vote for someone like this woman; she is "away with the fairies!"

[paradiselost]

These politicians are like robots, they can’t answer questions truthfully as they don’t go of script, they always just repeat the same scripted answers

[royedge]

Where is the scientific evidence of imposing restrictions!
