Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has crushed Melburnians' hope for freedom as he announced the city will remain in strict lockdown. Premier Andrews announced there are no major easing of restrictions for Melbourne after the state recorded seven new cases and no deaths in the last 24 hours.
“We are not in a position to do that today because we have at least 1000 test results from that northern metropolitan outbreak that are in the labs. "We will get those today, probably the balance of them tomorrow, and they will be additional testing conducted throughout the day. "This is not anything other than a cautious pause, to wait to get that important information, to get the results of those tests.

Power hungry madman, Worst premier ever.
“Crushed”? Losing a mum or dad is the feeling of being crushed. This is just a delay.
Open up please
I say again. Once he has power the idiot won't let it go. Is he backed by China. Sure looks like it. 5 million Victorians 1 Dan. Does CUSTOR mean anything to you
True leadership at work!
Deport Comrade Dan to Wuhan 🦠🦠🦠🤠🖕
Same old Yadda Yadda from dictator Dan. It is a disgrace. Four months and counting.. just let us out so we can see our family who have been doing the “right thing”!
Who writes your headlines Sky News. You need to sack them cause those headlines are not honest and they are not accurate? This is disgraceful reporting. No wonder you’re considered entertainment for conspiracy theorists rather than a news organisation.
Andrew's will be remembered as the worst corrupt meglamaniac Political leader in the Victorian Labour Party history!
Why does ScuMo want to open Vic prematurely? Because his beloved Hillsong just bought Festival Hall. Is this why he is so keen for Victoria's borders to come down before covid 19 has gone? It's extreme pentecostal takeover by him & his religious brethren.
Completely agree with the Premier. This is in the public interest what he is doing. Guys please support his decision.
RitaPanahi Not crushed..too close to those breaking the covid rules and spreading the virus around...this is needed..if they can cause alot of damage with the spreading when we are supposedly in lockdown..imagine what they could do if he opens up...
It had to stay for another 2 days
Reading lots of comments agreeing with Dan reminds me of Hitler's words. Tell the people the same lie every opportunity you have and they will eventually believe it. Some have become sheep. It actually prove here.
He’s an absolute despot, why are the police so ridiculous in this state also. I think Victorians will come out of this hating Labour and the police DanAndrewsMP
it seems to me it's more about the punishment and fines dished out than anything else now
This person don't even have the dignity to resign,NO ONE BELIEVED WHAT HE SAYING THAT'S WHY HE KEPT HIS CONFERENCE DAY AFTER DAY. IT'S CALLED MANTRA ! WAKE UP VICTORIAN!
Lies lies lies.
Ok murdoch
Why do you like to have headlines (and stories) that are fake?
And if those 1,000 outstanding test results reveal 200 cases?
Milking the Feds for some more JK & JS. WHat is going to happen if it can never be controlled?
You can’t speak for everyone. Ever heard of short term pain for long term gain. You guys just repeat the same stuff everyday using the same basic words. I’m not crushed as I know it makes sense. IstandwithDanAndrews ThisIsNotJournalism
well he hasn't crushed my hopes, unlike you with your ridiculous biased right wing POV.
You could be waiting a very long time if the Chairman doesn’t get the 🥾
Madness
There is no plan from ppl criticise DanielAndrewsMP We never forget the ppl who wanted to reopen at our highest peak of cases. We are so lucky to have professional hard working premier DanielAndrewsMP in-charge, the best TRUE leader to lead Victoria IStandWithDan
Not surprised this guy gets odd on his power
Victoria is under a dictatorship now
This guy is a complete grub, most of us know that. But seriously, the Vic opposition are inept and useless. Victorians deserve way better , but they aren’t getting it from either side. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Rust1nPeace Hahaha Told you so.. Stupid suckers that voted for him again, couldn’t see it the first time., They’ll only realise it when it’s too late, stupid logic basing the severity of this virus on cases and not the death rate. First time in History it’s being done this way.
Oh for God sake where’s the Governor General! Whitlam was dealt with when needed ....
RitaPanahi You are too spoilt. Freedom is not given, freedom is won.
So what happens once we reach lockdown free stage & we have a small outbreak? Do we panic, go back on lockdown. Enough is enough!!! If they cant handle cases now how are they going to handle them once everyone is living life as normal?
If only the media hadn't lied to millions of Victorians saying we'd be opening tomorrow when Dan never ever said we were opening tomorrow.
No we are not crushed. Dont talk for us.
Surprise surprise! No thought for people struggling, suicides, impact on our children. Perhaps he should take notice of what his kids are asking their friends...just saying!!!
I will finish your headlines ‘In strict lockdown for a couple of more days’ ...I’m NO fan of Dan but if we only have to wait for a couple of more days to ease restrictions then so be it. Don’t want another outbreak and undo all our hard work. So please stop stirring our emotions
Could Panahi, Credlin and Murray be injected with Covid19 to show us how harmless it is please?
wants to infect more Victorians and have more die so those with the blood on their hands have more death to gloat over… their alternative…they don’t have one…political simpletons all
Better to do it for a week or two, than have a outbreak that shuts them down again.
RitaPanahi 🤦🏻♂️
What if this scenario happened this time next week when we were already open? Shut down again?
😡😡😡🤡🤡ANDREWS🤡🤡😡😡😡
SackDanAndrews
‘Crushed (my) hopes for freedom’ Nah. He didn’t. Your hysterical rhetoric is not helping. Please stop.
Well nows the time for an uprising Australia
Until certain do the right thing then lockdown will continue . It’s not his fault. Fine and basil the dissenters
DictatorDan is a CCP admirer, & is sucking Xi Jinpinps dick!, its why he wont ease the LockDowns, he's trying force the economic landscape into communism by Using Fed printed $ to substitute the free market economy & a fascist state enforced by VictoriaPolice RitaPanahi
This nonsense coming from the media outlet that criticised the first lockdown! The home of covid deniers Credlin and Jones who rubbished the significance of government response to covid comparing it to influenza! No credibility at all!
Crushed? I would have been if he had listened to you. He did the right thing, that I hoped for.
Way to over dramatise a 1-2 day wait on announcements 🤦♂️
maybelleb3 Can't even get the grammar right in the headline.
For two days while we wait the details of the results. People in the north would like to know, BTW. No need to lose your mind.
None of the SKYTARDS can actually comprehend the facts so they make up their own.
Why can't we have someone form The Guardian, The Conversation, The New Daily, The Shot and Michael West at the pressers, just for a bit of balance?
Dictator Dan does it again. Continues to lock us down after 7 new cases? Shameful and a disgrace, this man must go before he destroys us completely.
Somebody remove him immediately! He’s a terrorist!
Tiki is losing her shit, tell to get back on the oxy.
RitaPanahi ResignDanielAndrews He and his government are totally incompetent!
Who do you speak for? Definitely not what I took away from today’s press conference.
Dan is going to murder the Melbourne Cup 😱
Lovely and convenient convenient piece of Rupertarian commentary. Anyone with basic level of intelligence understand the need to wait until the current cluster testing is analysed.
RitaPanahi
MurdochMouthpieces 'crushed' really? 24 - 48 hours delayed announcements ThisIsNotJournalism
Decisions like this should not be made by one person. This desperately needs parliamentary scrutiny.
NO! Dan Andrews alerts Victorians to the fact that Covid has no concept of open or closed economies or communities. Dan responds to disheartening covid infection in Victoria!
Sick of the headlines telling Victorians what they should be feeling? Hold Murdoch to account. MurdochRoyalCommission
Only the media are crushed because Dan is way better than anyone asking the questions .
The science and the data - Computer says 'DAN GOES'
Dishonest headline. Changes were due on November 1st, early changes are being considered now. Two days, adults can wait. boycottMurdoch
He keeps pushing Victorians to the brink he can’t help himself.. he’s surrounded by incompetent YES man and that’s what you get when you have monkeys...no one is capable of making the right decisions so they all run to the bunkers..fact is Dan you must go enough is enough GO!!
What science he has a dithering idiot for a CHO who is a liar and can't remember anything and this is expert advice that has crippled Victoria, wake up
Even a 6 year old would not throw a tanty because we are going to the beach tomorrow not today, because its raining. What mental age does Newscorp assume the average Australian has ?
Sky News - Rupert Murdoch's favorite cock-holster. Salaried employees, upon retirement from Sky, get complimentary reconstruction surgery for their prolapsed poop-shutes.
14 day rolling average in melbourne 4.6 cases, 0 in regional Victoria. If Daniel Andrews can't manage that without keeping everything locked down, why is he still in power? NSW has a higher number and everything is open. I think DA just loves the attention.
An absolute useless waste of space
I cannot believe AlboMP hasn’t done anything it’s disappointing AlboMP ScottMorrisonMP haven’t done anything this is one of those situations the PM and the opposition need to remove an incompetent premier be he liberal or be he labor
I don't know how this man puts up with the constant barrage of idiotic questions from the press - really? These sycophantic journalists are not after 'any' truth they are merely acting on an agenda forced foisted upon them by their rabid editors. It's embarrassing!
Hasn't crushed anything..its 24 hours. Its not going to kill anyone!!
Picking on vulnerable disability pensioners for debts they don’t even owe. Typical Liberals. Privatization of Centrelink is making things worse. Australians need skilled public servants, not robodebt algorithms or outsourced call centres.
Slomo did that when he become pm
The murdochmafia have crushed Australia's hopes of a free and fair democracy - thugs
RitaPanahi Dictator Dan says 'follow the science' as he waits for the results of 1,000 test results. What is the tests are just 1% inaccurate? That means we will see 10 positive new cases! = then Melbourne stays in lock-down for no reason?
RitaPanahi Disgraceful. But on the plus side, watching him squirm at the presser has been the best part of lockdown istandwithrachel FreeMelbourne letusout
So called journalists saying Andrews is not sticking to roadmap. Today were to be announcements only. We were never opening up until 1st Nov. Its only announcements that have been delayed NOT opening up. ThisIsNotJournalism
Feel sorry for all Victorians, I hope Daniel Andrews is voted out next election.
No anger & despair here. We understood this was likely with the northern suburbs spotfires. We have more intelligence than the majority of your reporters. Please stop telling us how we feel.
Omg he really wants to put Melbourne back to ice age.
RitaPanahi Sooner or later your going to have to face the less than lethal virus. Lock down kills. Adelaide lost babies for the sake of saving people who have lived long lives.
Fk Dan we are opening up. He is evil.
People should grow up and stop whinging. It's a situation. Go and live and die in Europe or America if you're not happy. Go to France or Dakota. Enjoy...
Let's sacrifice more to restrict the covid-19 from spreading again and again, opening up too soon means giving freedom to the deadly coronavirus. Take a deep breath.. our freedom is less important than our health, during this pandemic moment.
FFS, seriously why are people surprised at this announcement, Dan The Man is going to keep doing this every week to hold onto his power, I’m sorry to small Vic businesses that are suffering because of this control freak
Winning
Dan Andrews does this to Victoria Day in day out
When will Victorians do something to make Andrews the destroyer resign? Get thousands to camp outside his office-do SOMETHING!
Dudes losts his mind,time for an intervention
Pathetic leader with pathetic contact tracing, no plan just lockdown after lockdown, a leader who caused the second wave. One small cluster and we all locked down... sackdanandrews DanMustGo
Does Sky news actually pay attention to the news? This is the dumbest headline you could of written. Murdochmedia doesn't agree with it do they try to cause drama and chaos. Well done idiots
He has everyone talking bout this instead of his CHO. Great distraction dan
There will be a big exodus from the state when this is all over
As expected
the only virus in Victoria is LockdownDan...nobody is dying and nobody is sick
These guys have zero credibility in managing this health crisis, always excuses and not enough accountability. Don’t worry about changing government, let’s just get some competent people in the operational roles. Need new CHO immediately.
This useless excuse for a premier needs to go. He’s totally fucked Victoria and Victorians
Victoria I can’t believe you are letting this grub ruin your life’s.! Stop bending over ,Stand up and get this grub and his cronies out of government !
We are glad we have Glad(ys). 👏👏👏
He’s a monster
Albo, step in mate. He’s going to make you unelectable federally for another generation
WEF - THE GREAT RESET
And just like that... this farkwit has admitted he and his government are incompetent to manage a case load of 7 cases a day.
A sadist as all the left are All happily working from home on big incomes Ordering in croissants and coffee from the local to throw the lower classes some pity sackdanandrews sackbrettsutton FreeMelbourne
He is toying with Victorians. If his contact tracing is as good as he says it is and they get results back after 24 hours why can't they hold off the announcement until later today? Or, are they lies just like all the other lies they've told throughout this series of cock ups?
Completely incompetent government!!
Only waiting for a few more days so further testing can be done. These type of headlines are not helpful. MurdochRoyalCommission Thisisnotjournalism istandwithDan
The government asked people to get tested, which means they knew there would be a backlog of tests this weekend... so why did we not hear this speech a few days ago? Chairman Dan has no respect for Victorians.
Travinport Already measured the anger and despair? A guess? Or was that just in the SkyNews office?
😭😭😭😭
What did we expect honestly?
regional open up have included gyms, indoor pools and outdoor dining , among other things...shame on the (anti) Australian which has undermined him continuously..so successful in world best practice for the tinlid New World Order, as the world follows Dan, not herder Morrison!!
No surprise, he'll never let go of the power
