There *is* something unique about this group. I can’t recall a Victorian Cabinet where 7 out of 22 members have been sacked in disgrace or resigned in disgust inside three years. It’s a Labor government in complete chaos - during a crisis. And all Victorians pay the price.

A 3rd lockdown for Victorians. Because Labor has stuffed up hotel quarantine AGAIN. You have every right to be bloody furious that yet again Labor is making you pay for their own incompetence. But know that we will get through this - and that help is available if you need it.

Victorians are only getting our freedoms back in dribs and drabs - and Labor acts like we should be grateful for crumbs from Dan’s table! Too many pointless restrictions have already gone on for too long. Why wait any longer to scrap them?

Across Australia, the curve has been flattening. So states have been easing restrictions to allow families to meet and support each other. But not here in Victoria. Here, we can't visit our mum on Mother's Day. It's the wrong call, Mr Andrews.

So what have we learned today? • Horse races > funerals to Labor • The @VictorianCHO advice can be relied on, then disregarded, whenever it’s politically expedient • The @VictorianCHO instructs lawyers to conceal embarrassing emails from @HotelInquiryVIC Pack. Of. Frauds.

You thought Melbourne’s harsh lockdown would be eased on 19 October? Andrews says ‘think again’. I say ‘enough’. It’s time to safely re-open Victoria and start rebuilding our lives and our state. Send Andrews a message at: #springst

Mikakos should go because of contact tracing failures and her dodgy evidence to the Inquiry. But Mikakos did not say ‘no’ to ADF. She did not bring in private security for hotel quarantine. These decisions caused our 2nd wave. Andrews is responsible. He must go. #springst

Vic Labor’s “announcement” on a new quarantine facility is a hoax. Labor wants: • Federal Govt to provide the land • Federal Govt to pay to build it •Or else Labor will take it to Avalon (where Labor wanted it all along). Too tricky. Cunning as a Fox, even. #springst

Last August @VictorianCHO + @DanielAndrewsMP couldn’t contemplate 100s - let alone 22,000 - cases a day so they trashed my call for RATs. All politics + no vision = reap + sow. Check it 👇 Sutton shuts down rapid virus testing strategy via @newscomauHQ

Victoria’s top public health officials has effectively shut down a push by the state opposition to introduce rapid Covid testing to help prevent recurring lockdowns.

If Daniel Andrews had an ounce of empathy, he’d suspend the curfew for Melbourne supporters tonight. It’s been a long wait since 1964. Reckon we deserve to see Range Rovers with Demons scarves doing laps around East Melbourne tonight ❤️💙

Peter Hartcher describes the obscenity of this Victorian Labor government. They are entirely responsible for Victoria’s second wave - and the deaths and devestation it has caused. But still they cling to their jobs. Victorians will not forget. Nor will they forgive.

Labor can celebrate exactly how many days of media spin they’ve chalked up. But they still can’t tell you which Minister made the decision to use untrained private security in hotel quarantine - costing nearly 800 Victorians their lives. Sickening.
