Gigi Foster's comments at the ABC Q&A program on 19 May 2022

[@SinfidelityMusic]

Great to have a talented mouthpiece who can articulate the obvious so well on our behalf. I wish there were more Brave warriors to do the same. But of course they were silenced for 2 years.

[@BusinessBuilderBot]

Brilliant Gigi! Just brilliant!

[@spudlymanor]

I simply can not believe they allowed this intelligent, articulate lady with all the answers 'they' did not want to be aired on Q & A. Well done Gigi. Finally a voice of reason on a usually stacked panel on this once watchable show. I haven't watched a full episode for ages. Someone's head will roll for allowing this lady to speak her well informed mind. Hooray!

[@surreallife777]

She’s a professor of economics? I'll give you my viewpoint as to why you should not listen to this economist. “Get off your couch and do something. Government can’t do anything.” She also gleefully said that this is an amazing time to be an economist, and then the 60 minute Australian interviewer pushed back on her statement and told her what about all the suffering and she backtracked on her statement which has done massive damage to the middle class with huge income inequality. We were watching her on TV and once she made these statements, even my friend said she’s an idiot. Conservative economist like this lady push austerity and they look at the national debt just like household debt, which is nonsense because a household is not have its own currency. They also use the national debt as a scare tactic to promote the idea that the nation is broke this intern causes the promotion of austerity which is to cut government social programs and infrastructure spending that benefit the poor, middle class and the upper middle class. If you think that having an economics degree is just like having a dental degree where dentists have a general consensus on how to fix teeth you’re wrong. There are two dominant economists out there conservative and progressive economists. Conservative economist like this lady are the ones who have been promoting Supply so trickle down economics for the last 45 years and pushing austerity policies Right wing/conservative economist like this lady have completely different viewpoints on how to run an economies as compared progressive demand side left leaning economists. If you want to see which countries have the best economic outcomes I suggest you do a comparison. In fact, one of the best comparisons is to compare Republican states to democratic states in terms of life expectancy, pollution, crime, incarceration rates, poverty rates, addiction, inequality, etc. Google or KZbin the definition of conservative Neoliberal political economic policies over the last 45 years and what they’ve done to the world. Conservative politicians promote these kinds of economists. Oh and like most conservatives she's part of the anti-vax because that's big evil government. God help us.

This woman is amazing. She is spot on! 👏👏👏👏

Intelligence on the abctv premises?

Don't worry, I'm sure the Bolshevik collective with have some commie struggle sessions and correct any "wrong think". #DefundABC

[@leebay6093]

Hooray for her uncompromising stance, spoken eloquently and with great compassion, she should be leading our Country

[@christinefrench2998]

I certainly agree with Gigi Foster!!!!! So very sad what both the Federal Govt and State Govts have done to our country in the name of Health.

[@mirjanasimonovic9558]

Here here 👏👏

[@Petra-o8p]

Finally a truth speaker from inside the bowels of the Australian establishment.

[@lisaverheyden1941]

Gigi Forster is a champion of critical thought. Programs like ABC, The Project & morning shows, radio mouth pieces are strictly sell propaganda & treat people like fools and sadly there are many happy not to think and need directions to make it through each day. Courage is a valuable commodity and needs to be encouraged. You go girl. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Lizjemej]

Well said and it's about time someone said it so uncompromisingly! Absolutely brilliant Gigi!!

[@demelzahanson474]

Way to go, truth bombs!

[@Patisomahu]

She’s on fire and I agreed 100% on her views👍🏾 I seen someone commented that he/she rather took healthcare advice then economist like Gigi. Well, actually it’s unbalance in one point of that perspective, we need the freedom to do what we must do for the great economy to this country rather then freaking out about the virus that could be treated just fine.

[@judibee28]

Lol …. given the shocking record of health advice (that we aren’t allowed to see) and the control over Doctors in what they’re allowed and not allowed to say by AHPRA (a privatised entity) I’d be way more comfortable taking my health advice from this economist. Gigi is fantastic - such a realist.

[@samuelschmidt1653]

You are an absolute legend Gigi!! So well spoken and articulated!

[@sumomurany6361]

Hmm she should be prime minister!

[@luciasmith1648]

Totally agree, think Gigi is great ... smart and a straight shooter. Great admiration for her.

[@wefsux]

I've not heard anyone make such good points and so much sense in a very long time, god politics needs her

[@martinmurchison5419]

Oh wow never seen this lady before but now I the biggest Gigi fan

[@ireneliras1970]

Vote all minor parties. GIVE NOTHING TO THE MAJOR PARTIES.

[@bernadettebecher5668]

Good on her- Thank you Gigi!

[@redsoil5821]

Great Lady. We'll be watching her.

[@jacstocks6630]

she's spot on... brilliant

[@kmr6773]

Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 what an incredibly articulate, knowledgable and ethical Woman…thank you Gigi Forster..

[@laurencascio8198]

100% correct and today everyone has an opportunity to change the evil that has happened in the past few years

[@kathleenjackson9527]

Love foster’s comments somebody not bought

[@andrewf3742]

love the politicians couldn't keep up with her..so kept quiet for once!

[@shutthegate8232]

because bulldung and lying only gets them so far in the race, compared to Truth being set free.

[@russellphipps911]

One smart lady

[@desmondmarais5044]

Someone with common sense at last well said vote the majors last.

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Well spoken Gigi ... ironic that such statements must come from a North American and NOT a local!

[@poppy789987]

Great video

[@larazen7493]

I wish Gigi as Prime Minister 🫶🏼

[@rosemary766]

Gigi for prime minister. She is a leader that needs to be heard

[@tonimcintyre5737]

LOVE TO YOU GIGI.. FINALLY SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE ON MAINSTREAM MEDIA... YAY!! DEEPLY APPRECIATED

[@wefsux]

This lady is spot on. Hope Morrison is listening to this

[@shutthegate8232]

This is excellent. Importantly thank you for cutting out the dribble from the others that makes everyone want to put their computer in a fish tank to drown out the sound of finger nails on a blackboard that they put out with their incompetence and agendas.

[@claudearchibald]

lol. Fantastically well said!

[@SB-zd3pq]

happy to have Gigi as my professor!!!

[@wokewombat7292]

Pure fire!!!!

[@pennycarrier1]

Spot on, we need more people like Gigi!

[@timmcgrath9708]

"If ever we needed proof that the major parties have prioritised politicial expediency over the welfare of the human population it's been the last 2 years, that's why they need to go to the bottom of the ballot". Correct.

[@x77starboy]

wow she on target with everything 👌🏾

[@Australiaforfreedom]

She's good!

[@ruthrichardson5205]

Where have they been hiding this AMAZING WOMAN. ❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️

[@cameldriver7419]

About BLOODY time an honest person and opinion was aired on national TV in Australia, EVEN FROM THE ABC/ Struth!

[@daniellurkin]

100% agreed.

[@richardfox6595]

The trouble with the mantra "diversity is strength" is it's never used to mean diversity of thought.

[@HalKW]

Love you Gigi !!!

[@valpazin6562]

GIGI for President of Australia

[@MosierMiddleSchool]

Don't hold back Gigi!🥰

[@gibbethoskins8621]

Spot on, shame 99% of people have no awareness of this but just blindly follow along like sheep

[@Mel-iq6ek]

She is Fing awesome

[@wilbawild9537]

this woman should be in politics. she ruined these politicians

[@akj3388]

People should get the full wage and all the personal income tax should go into the super. This is because personal income tax does not reach any government, federal or state as a revenue. It gets deleted from the RBA accounts.

[@Pxm78]

This comment has made me curious, can you provide more info?

[@akj3388]

@@Pxm78 Ask away. There is a lot to cover.

[@bringbacktheoldnormal1614]

About time Q&A has had a unbiased guest speaker who makes a lot of sense

[@aharkey]

Woooooooo! Go GIGI

[@lazydazs]

Helping families by revamping out taxation system, to allow for the income earnings of both husband and wife to be combined.(hence fairly minimising the taxation burden and helping families economically.)

[@colleenlaing8171]

How many deaths from the vaccine?

[@kenhaveachat7630]

I'm just curious as to how she was able to say what she did without being shouted down by the host or absolutely howled down by the normally left wing - stacked audience

[@sonjapatulny7726]

Domestic violence, suicides, people unable to visit dying loved ones, loved ones in nursing homes, crushing nurses lives through increased work loads, kids wearing masks just criminal!! these are some off the costs guys

[@JohanVanStarrex-qt1yz]

It's very intersting to revisit Dr. Gigi Foster's take on Australian politics. Scummo Morrison has quit politics after destroying the economy and Elmer Fudd Albenese has been elected only to continue where Scummo left off. Interest rates are out of control, more and more people are becoming homeless . Rental properties are becoming scarcer hence prices are now astronomical. There are shortages of skilled workers in just about every profession you can name. The cost of living keeps rising while wages, pensions and other government benefits are lagging behind. Australia is a sinking ship with no sign of terra firma.

[@lions3]

To the twits out there saying trust the opinion of a health expert. Whose opinion?! Honestly, there are health experts, and then there are hacks. So... trust is something that is earnt based on facts not emotion.

[@markfromnewcastle8191]

They're locked into WHO policies via AHPRA being a who body

[@humanistanimal]

She is optimistic to suggest it will take a generation to fix.
