'I have never witnessed such incompetence and abuse of the truth in my lifetime': Jones

Sky News host Alan Jones says the willingness of politicians to become followers, not leaders, from day one has damaged this country badly - and "we are now paying the price".

"People are suspicious of vaccinations because they don't believe, up until now, that they have been told the truth," Mr Jones said.

The PM said in a press conference in March last year that the coronavirus was a "far more serious virus" for older and more vulnerable Australians and the government's aim was to "protect the most vulnerable" and at risk.

"The Prime Minister said we'd look after the vulnerable, but aged care is a Commonwealth responsibility. Not only were they not looked after, many died; and the vast majority still aren't vaccinated.

"But because everybody was treated as if they were about to die, money has been thrown everywhere. Our grandkids will have to pay off the debt.

"I have never witnessed such incompetence in my lifetime, nor have I seen such an abuse of the truth."
