Andrews 'must stop looking for scapegoats and admit fault' | Sky News Australia

Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says Daniel Andrews needs to stop looking for scapegoats to blame the state’s COVID-19 crisis on and admit fault. “Daniel Andrews keeps putting it onto the populous for not obeying the rules, not wearing masks, any other scapegoat, but he’s got to admit his system’s failed him,” he said. Mr Clennell said it was time the Victorian government introduced a harder lockdown because “they’re putting the whole nation, the whole national economy at risk”.

“The great shame of it, is that it’s because of the Victorian government’s failures that they’re at that point.” Mr Clennell said reports it was taking nine or 10 days for people in regional Victoria to get their test results back were terrifying. “How can they trace their contacts, who they were in contact with when they contracted the virus, when they started showing symptoms, when they were spreading the thing, if it’s taking them 10 days to get their results back?” he said.

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP thisisnotjournalism newscorpse

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP Bullshit . It’s clear that he refers to the data to explain where the problems are. Your campaign to discredit him is putting our lives at risk and is part of the reason for the virus spreading. Continuing to undermine the government’s efforts!!

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP Andrews seems to me to be doing a good job. I think he could do with more support from Morrison, i.e. more than none.

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP The Melbourne security company let the Victorian government. The NSW and Federal Liberal governments let Australia down by releasing infected passengers from the RubyPrincess

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP Mate, thisisnotjournalism - what part of Andrews saying the buck stops with him do you not understand? How many times has Scott Morrison stood at a presser and answered EVERY question? Andrews does this EVERY day. Find a real story, do your job.

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP Dan is still getting 59 percent support.

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP I eagerly await who Andrews' will blame today during his press conference. Not many scapegoats left in his slimy bag of tricks, but there are plenty that he won't touch, even though most Victorians know who they are.

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP He already did, Andrew. You Murdoch clowns only want to kill him off because he had the audacity to win the last State election in spite of all the shit you threw at him. What about blaming Morrison for the outbreaks in PRIVATE nursing homes where MORRISON HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY?

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP ResignDanielAndrews

aclennell DanielAndrewsMP Clennell needs to go back to May when ScottyFromMarketing and his side kick GladysB and your mob and Murdoch were bullying state leaders to relax restrictions and open borders. The mistake Dan made was to listen to TheLiarFromTheShire.

The federal government has gone silent on Daniel Andrews’ China deal: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones questions why no federal government minister has raised any issue with the Andrews government’s agreement to the Belt and Road Initiative, which is “China’s invasion of countries by proxy”.\n\nThe Belt and Road initiative is a loans program whereby China lends massive amounts of money to countries to invest in large infrastructure developments.\n\nHowever, in many cases such as in Sri Lanka, the country which engages in the loans is unable to fulfil their repayment commitments thus releasing control of the project to the Chinese government.\n\nThe Victorian government controversially signed a memorandum of understanding with Beijing for more than $25 million in infrastructure loans.\n\n“The federal government seems to be silent in relation to this bloke Andrews,” Mr Jones told Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\n“This is basically China’s invasion of countries by proxy.\n\n“This is the way they’re going to manipulate and manage control and incursions into regions where they previously haven’t been.\n\n“I suppose Daniel Andrews thinks ‘if we go broke, China will bail us out if I sign up to the Belt and Road Initiative.’”\n\nImage: AP\n AlanJones This new BBC documentary about Rupert Murdoch is the most important program NOT on Australian television. Every Australian needs to watch it. AlanJones The penetration of the CCP is everywhere. Moreover, their level of evil completely exceeds the imagination of ordinary Westerners!

Australia cannot 'tax itself' out of recession | Sky News AustraliaBusiness Council of Australia CEO Jennifer Westacott says Australia needs to embark upon landmark productivity reforms in order to revive the nation's struggling economy.\n\nTreasurer Josh Frydenberg announced last week the nation’s gross debt was forecasted to hit $851.9 billion with this year’s budget deficit expected to reach $184.5 billion.\n\nThe government is working with national unions in order to help businesses cope when the JobKeeper criteria changes in September. \n\nFrom September 28, to be eligible for JobKeeper 2.0, businesses with an aggregate turnover below $1 billion will have to prove they have had a 30 per cent decline in revenue over the June and September quarters.\n\nSome businesses have raised concerns they will go under if they are forced to reinstate their staff on full-time hours.\n\nMs Westacott told Sky News the government needs to help empower businesses in order to lift Australia out of recession.\n\n“You can’t tax and spend our way out of this,” she said.\n\n“We have to open up activity in the economy which means we have to get the health management right.\n\n“It’s also about starting to build the growth agenda and that’s by encouraging business investment which of course has collapsed in the figures we saw this week.\n\n“I can’t emphasize enough how much we have to stay the course on opening activity up in the economy because the alternative will be very severe unemployment going forward.” \n\nImage: Getty \n\n\n 😂 The problem with modern capitalism is you end up running out of other peoples money to bail out the private sector.
