Petition Action

Use a public committee to ask questions during live coronavirus updates

Petition Details

Allow a public committee to formulate questions that better reflect what the public would like to know during the live updates rather than the press who continue to ask the same questions over and over and only want to make headlines?

Additional Information

It would better represent the public as a whole. We are annoyed with the stupid repetitive questions by the press which are aimed at trying to ridicule the government during unprecedented times.
