South Australiaâs normally unflappable chief health officer, Nicola Spurrier, almost flapped when Sky News host Chris Kenny flew into an SA press conference this week.
Faced with a barrage of questions about the stateâs pandemic strategy, she blinked slowly, often, and with great forbearance.
Kenny started with a âthree-pronged questionâ but she cut him off after the first.
âI just want to ask a three-pronged question ⦠why arenât you more upfront [about running an elimination strategy]?â he started.
But new research shows the public did not share the negative view of Andrews portrayed by the media. Isentia has found that when the media discussed Andrewsâ handling of Covid-19, 75% of coverage was critical and 29% openly positioned him as incompetent.
However, when the Australian public was asked what they thought of Andrewsâ leadership, 42% said heâd been a good leader.

Inside the state itself the picture was even rosier, with 53% believing he had done a good job as leader.
The premierâs satisfaction rating never dropped below 50% across Essential, Roy Morgan and Newspoll polling.
