This is just so wrong. A free media is critical to every democracy. Is Victoria now the place where you can be arrested for simply doing your job? Why hasn’t Andrews stepped up and called this out as plainly wrong? #springst

The only thing that’s insane, @MarshaThomsonMP , is that Victorian Labor have now allowed stage 4 lockdown rumours to go unchecked for 24 hours now. Your government has provided NO leadership on this, increasing community anxiety and uncertainty #springst

Victorians pay more in state taxes than any other Australians according to a new report from parliament. But experts have cast doubt on the data, warning it doesn't tell the whole story. @SharnelleVella #7NEWS

Why is it acceptable for Victorian Labor to call a Royal Commission into Crown, yet with 801 Victorians dead, hundreds of thousands unemployed and mental health on the rise, there is STILL no Royal Commission into their COVID-19 response? #springst

Confirmed. Again. Victorians are being punished for Labor’s financial incompetence, at a time when they can least afford it. #springst

Where are the @VictorianLabor comrades in all of this? They have facilitated Andrews through all of this. ❌ Jobs lost. ❌ Businesses closed. ❌ Self harm presentations up. And the Labor mates just allow it to continue. That’s not leadership! #springst

The Victorian government spent more than $12 million on legal representation during the hotel quarantine inquiry — more than double the cost of the probe itself

Tim Pallas has just introduced Labor’s Bill to tax Victorians more. Still no details - we’ll have to wait for that tomorrow! It's what Labor does, because the State's broke. New Premier, same tired Labor Government. #ThisIsLabor #springst

Received this message from a local resident late last night. He’s trying to do the right thing and use his common sense, but has been turned away from a COVID test. Deeply concerning - especially with around 40% of COVID cases present as asymptotic. #springst

No matter what they say, it’s always POLITICS that motivates Victorian Labor. While they’re ‘antagonising’ opponents in 2020, Victorians suffered: jobs lost, businesses closed, family break up, domestic violence, elder abuse, self harm, COVID deaths. #ThisIsLabor #springst

Labor strategist John Armitage, who was handed a $1.1m taxpayer-funded contract by the Victorian Premier’s department, advises political clients to “antagonise” opponents because it renders rivals “angrier” and “less coherent”. @australian #springst

Victorian Labor’s budget “creating jobs” whilst increasing taxes and “caring for Victorians” whilst overseeing the death of 801 Victorians. Got it. #springst

Reports today that Victorian authorities are TALKING with Defence about help to clean up after the storm... There are still 18,000 homes and businesses without power 5 days after the storm, and they’re TALKING with Defence! Enough TALK. Time to PLAN and ACT now! 🤯 #springst

Labor’s Power Saving Bonus cheques are bouncing and, what’s worse, at risk Victorians are missing out on this $250 payment AND being forced to pay the bank dishonour fee. Victorians continue to suffer because of Labor’s failures. #springst @theheraldsun

Victorians are tonight rightly asking: why there is one rule for them and one rule for others? ❌We were banned from seeing our dying loved ones, Anzac Day, Mother’s Day and weddings were cancelled. ✅But this protest is OK... It’s a bloody disgrace 🤯 #springst

So Pearson was briefed at least 7 times by his department and declared his CBA shares 14 times, but only became aware of the “potential of a perceived conflict of interest” yesterday. The fiction section of a library has more truth in it than Pearson’s response! #springst
