Do you think the Australian netball team is aware that when it receives its 15 million from the Victorian govt some of that money has come from gaming taxes, the casino, coal royalties and liquor license fees .
The thing that is most disgraceful about the last 20 months in Victoria is that not one word of the health advice used to justify government decisions has been publicly released .. lives destroyed businesses destroyed .. but not one word .
There is a reason why Victoria is going into a third lockdown and it has nothing to do with this virus which is just as wicked in NSW as in VICTORIA. It is a significant failure of government for which the Premier must finally take responsibility .
If you are tempted to start feeling sorry for the plight of Novak Djokovic just think of the family in Warrnambool refused an exemption to have more than 10 people at their little sons funeral.
When I hear the announcement that the Andrews government has ordered a extra 166 million Rapid Antigen tests .. I just can't stop thinking of the announcement on April 1 2020 that Victoria was spending billions on 4 thousand ICU beds.
9 cases in NSW today .. the master class continues . Shops open .. economy ticking .. international arrivals arriving .. heavy lifting continuing .. no panic .. no hyperventilating .. just exceptional contact tracing overseen by steady sensible equally exceptional leadership
The ppl have spoken the below tweet will be retweeted daily at 8am until the premier clears up the matter and admits it was HE who misrepresented reality and concedes that WE are not going mad. Let’s stop misrepresentation of reality in public office in Vic before we all go mad.
We have been locked down for 241 days. We have 1,438 Covid cases today. We have a health system that is already under enormous stress and we have leadership that is unaccountable. This is a recipe for much pain. Victoria is not well placed.
Victoria’s 4th statewide lockdown reinforces the daylight that exists between NSW and Vic in Covid management. It rams home like a king hitter post driver what a colossal job Premier Berejiklian has done for 14 months now. Victorians can only look across the border in awe
Day 17 - lockdown day 253 - U tell the world U are going to deliver 4 thou ICU beds then tell no one you’ve changed ur mind. When brought to account pretend promise never made. When shown video say nothing and hope everyone moves on but there’s a bloke who keeps retweeting it.
The job is not easy .. but sadly Daniel Andrews can appear at 1 thousand media conferences all in a row without even one day off .. but the brutal truth is .. Victorians need only look over the border at NSW to see what real leadership in a pandemic is .
I see Premier Daniel Andrews says he is taking full responsibility for the unethical behaviour in the Labor party . You might remember he also said he took full responsibility for the hotel quarantine disaster .
The most powerful man in Victoria's Covid response the man with the power to shut open fine and then shut again has been accused by ICook foods owner IAN COOK of lying to a parliamentary inquiry.
I see James Merlino has just been asked about mandatory vaccination for politicians and he said it was a matter for the Chief Health Officer . Do Victorians think that is fair and reasonable .
On the 13th of July NSW recorded 14 Covid cases . In the days that followed til 11th Sept ... 13 12 10 8 15 18 20 11 15 19 7 14 14 17 14 19 18 20 17 11 13 12 11 12 10 9 10 14 22 18 12 9 9 5 7 2 7 5 1 9 4 3 3 6 9 13 14 7 10 . They have been open all thru. Same virus same country
You might like to know that it is 2 years ago today that Premier Andrews and Minister Mikakos announced a big health funding boost and 4 thousand ICU beds for Victoria. An announcement later denied by the Premier . Time flies .
The brutal truth is that if AstraZeneca had not been unfairly sullied Australia would today be fully vaccinated. Unfortunately people are dying as a result.
The brutal truth is that Premier Daniel Andrews who famously said he was accountable for what happens in his government and who last year was unable to say who made crucial hotel quarantine decisions .. should have resigned then . It’s been down hill ever since .
Remember the hotel quarantine fiasco in Vic. 801 people died and no one had any idea who decided to spend 60 million taxpayer dollars on private security. Well the Andrews govt has today failed in a bid to delay a class action seeking compensation.
Day 1 - Vics would like a full and frank explanation of this video. The issue of ICU capacity is vital. It is not to be mocked. Question. Do Vics feel the qualities vividly on display here are those needed from a leader to resurrect heal and unite a bruised and battered Victoria
Perhaps we should now know the religious beliefs of every player in the AFL to ensure they fit in with the values of their clubs. They are after all important and influential role models for the young. And how does gambling fit in with the values of the AFL .
I see NSW has recorded its 28th consecutive day of no locally acquired Covid having dealt with numerous outbreaks in a nuanced minimum fuss no panic no sledge hammer way with an open economy while accepting 3 thousand OS arrivals a week . The Bosch 800 keeps quietly operating.
I see we have a situation here in Victoria where 60 QC's have now signed an open letter concerned about the pandemic legislation which would give the Premier power one person has never ever had in Victoria .
If your job title is the Covid Response Commander does it then follow that you must be held responsible for the Covid response when that response is in disarray .
A triumph. 801 dead because of hotel qt bungles that lead to 58 charges against health dept is not a triumph. That no individuals have been charged is a disgrace. That the families have received no justice is a stain on Vic that spin can’t wash away.
According to his written statement the Premier of Vic who is paid to look after Vic and it’s interests is to give evidence under oath that he does not know who decided to use private security. The single most destructive decision in the history of Victoria ..simply breathtaking
In Victoria you can now have your business closed down invalidly at a cost to the owner of millions of dollars and not be compensated for that invalid closure. That is exactly what has happened to Ian Cook of ICOOKFOODS
#breathtaking
The 1 point 2 billion not to build a road would come in handy now .. so would the 13 million spent on an inquiry which failed to answer the most important question. The thing about money is if you waste it you don’t have it when you need it .
This lockdown is devastating with a capital D more so because it did not need to happen . 6 weeks ago 10 thou people flooded the city with complete immunity. Govt & police saying they were powerless to stop it. Today we are in a state of disaster. There must be accountability.
Day 2 - The notion you can significantly misrepresent reality and not be accountable for it .. NO that’s not how it works. ICU capacity is a most vital issue in Victoria right now. Just how many beds do we have. As Pauline Hanson once famously said “ please explain “ Premier ???
My great uncle arrived in Aust 1926. My dad 1949. My mum and brother 1955. I was 2nd Tardio to be born here. Parents are now buried here. Their great grandchildren are now popping out left right and centre. Aust has its problems but we are all lucky to be here. Happy Aust Day!!!
It never ends .
The truckie who took coronavirus to Kilmore and Shepparton was NOT told to isolate by the Health department even though he was living with a person who worked at the Chadstone butcher shop which was at the centre of an outbreak. WTF
I see the Premier is saying he had no choice but to break the world lockdown record. He had no choice because his govt made bad choices. The hiring of untrained security guards contributed 111 days to the lockdown total .
The Andrews government will pay sick leave to casual workers, and put a new levy on employers to pay for it. Seriously .. what person in their right mind would open a business nowadays . Don't bother .
I see a member of the National Golf club on the Mornington Peninsula has expressed concern the former Premier won’t be able to recall scores for each hole due to poor memory.
The situation we now have in Victoria is that 7 million of us are locked in our homes because of a curfew from 8 pm until 5 am but no one in authority is able to say who made the decision .. not the Premier .. not the Police Chief .. not the Chief Health officer .
A man described as a Melbourne business figure has pleaded guilty child sex crimes. He has been spared jail but his identity is being suppressed for 2 decades. He has been given a 15 month suspended jail sentence and 3 year good behaviour bond.
How ironic that when you hire someone you are not allowed to ask their religious views during the interview process but should you find out you can get rid of them.
Consider this. Despite all the branch stacking, allocation of grants to allies, paying of family to do no work, use of taxpayer funded staff for electioneering, misuse of millions of taxpayers $ not one law was broken. No charges, no convictions, no penalties. Life mooches on.
I see that Professor Brett Sutton has told the Pandemic Declaration Accountability and Oversight Committee.
it was not his decision to stop IVF treatment . If it wasn't his decision whose was it .
If i remember correctly this motion passed by the Upper house this afternoon called for an investigation in the State Government Social media unit
@PRGuy17
5 people at St Basil’s nursing home died last year when the staff were furloughed by Brett Sutton because they were deemed close Covid contacts. They didn’t die of Covid they died of neglect . Imagine the outrage if 5 horses died of neglect or 5 dogs . These were 5 old people .
If a bridge collapsed because corners were cut and it wasn’t appropriately maintained and 33 people died do you think a personal apology from the person in charge would suffice .
Seriously if an interim IBAC report has concluded the Labor party's culture in Victoria is rotten having encouraged the serious misuse of public resources. If it has also found unethical practices are embedded in all factions of the party the Premier has no option but to resign
Day 22 -Richie Benaud day - lockdown day 257 . Has he apologised for misleading Victorians NO . Should he apologise YES . Is it disrespectful not to YES . Am I going to keep retweeting YES . When am I going to stop . WHEN I WANT TO .
I see the Auditor-General has found mass over spending and a lack of accountability in the Andrews Govts handling of Covid pandemic. In one example the Health Dept spent 172 million dollars on protective gear that wasn't suitable.
Victorians should know that the software now in use in the state's contact tracing system was offered to Victoria in March this year but was knocked back. Other states took up the system . We obviously thought we knew better.
Brett Sutton says contact tracing in second wave is “10 times as hard” compared to first. As P Hanson would say " pls explain ". NSW has contact traced many outbreaks since it began lifting restrictions in late APRIL while keeping economy open just do what NSW is doing.
I see the Supreme Court is being asked to rule whether WorkSafe should hand over details of its investigation into hotel quarantine. Ken Phillips from Self Employed Australia wants to know why the Premier and the chief health officer have not been prosecuted .
Ian Cook from ICook foods " I don't even mind if Labor wins the election but Daniel Andrews cannot say as Premier, he just can't. You cannot have someone who says he takes responsibility and then does nothing" .
At what point do we in Victoria acknowledge Covid zero may no longer be possible and we now focus on getting to 80 percent vaccinated with the least amount of damage possible to mental health .. society as a whole and the economy
Victoria is being locked down a 6th time .. Premier says every lockdown based on health advice .. no problem with that .. but it's time that advice was made public Fiona Patton Andy Meddick and Samantha Ratnam sided with govt in Parliament to block that release
Interesting that Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will travel to Glasgow to attend the international climate summit with Twiggy Forrest on private jet
Apparently he has said he does not know who made the decision to use security guards instead of ADF police .. he does not know .. he is leading the state in this pandemic and he does not know after all this time who made the single most destructive decision in Victoria's history
This from our Premiers Facebook page dated April 1st 2020 . Victorians would have felt so comforted knowing our Premier was going to do all these reality defying deeds
I find it amusing and disturbing in equal parts that the Vic premier is some how being portrayed as a saviour because of what is happening in NSW .. as if the suffering is less in Vic as if foreseeable major mistakes were not made here. Covid is affecting peoples brains
Is this not a clear breach of the no greater than 100 person public gathering rule .. we now live in a state where rules and laws are selectively applied
NO mandatory masks .. NO total lockdowns .. NO devastated small business sector .. NO devastated CBD .. NO cases of community transmission in NSW today
#boschseries800dishwasher
Not sure what to make of this IBAC stuff .. but I do know the decision by
@WorkSafe_Vic
not to charge individuals over 801 deaths caused by Hotel Quarantine failings needs to be scrutinised
What happened to public hearings . Adem Somyurek and Daniel Andrews and anybody else should be treated the same . Victorians should be demanding an explanation as to exactly why this is not .
Rebel News tracked down the oligarchs sneaking into Davos.
No carbon credits for these elites. They fly in private jets, dash cross-country in helicopters then are whisked off to meetings in tinted-window Mercedes.

I see former federal Treasury economist Stephen Anthony has labelled Premier Daniel Andrews Suburban Rail Loop the “worst infrastructure project of all time”.
And then he added the words " It is a disgrace ".
The premier has just been asked on 3aw breakfast. Where are our ICU beds? There was an answer but it wasn’t relevant to the question. SO WE STILL DONT KNOW
The government released this triple zero report on a Saturday morning . Surprised it wasn’t released at 2 am . I am going to retweet this television report every morning until I am sure Victorians have seen it .
The deaths of 33 Victorians have been linked to triple zero delays.
A damning new report reveals some emergency calls were going unanswered for more than an hour.
The Emergency Services Minister has apologised, but for some families, it's too late.

That CHO Brett Sutton did not know when he shut ICook Foods that 6 other companies were supplying food to Knox Private hospital is just astonishing . That investigators did not check those companies or the hospital kitchen itself is also astonishing
I see State Labor MP Kaushaliya Vaghela has released a statement saying it's hypocritical to expel her for referring matters to the state’s anti-corruption watchdog while the federal leader Anthony Albanese is campaigning for a federal integrity body
Day 19- lockdown day 255- Adem Somyurek says the Premier branch stacked before both entered parliament in 2002. Premier says he never did. But he also said 4 thou ICU beds were never promised and they were. U see the problem. I think the Premier needs to front IBAC himself.
Question .. Could it be decision to use private security .. a decision which has resulted in the the deaths of 800 people caused the worst economic devestation in Victoria's history and damaged the mental health of thousands of Vics .. WAS MADE IN THE PREMIERS PRIVATE OFFICE
