As many as 10,000 people attended the June 6 rally in Melbourne’s CBD, despite warnings from Premier Daniel Andrews and the Department of Health and Human Services urging people to “consider other ways to show support”.
The DHHS refused to say whether members of the public housing cluster, which now includes the protesters, reside in the inner northwest towers. They also said they’re yet to establish the source of any of the interlinked clusters. However, Victoria’s chief health officer Brett Sutton has said the protest hasn’t played a significant role in the state’s surging virus infections.
Meanwhile, in NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has ruled out sending her state back into lockdown, despite an increasing number of COVID-19 infections being linked to a Sydney pub cluster.10,061 cases of COVID-19, with 4224 in Victoria, 3316 in New South Wales, 1071 in Queensland, 443 in South Australia, 636 in Western Australia, 228 in Tasmania, 113 in the Australian Capital Territory and 30 in the Northern Territory.
Blaming Victoria too?
Not surprised at all, you reap what you sow😷🤧🤒🤢🤮💀
Shock meeeee
Did anyone actually read this article? It seems to be half written while they look for a link. Victoria’s chief health officer Brett Sutton has said the protest hasn’t played a significant role in the state’s surging virus infections.
Who?
What it say: Victoria’s chief health officer Brett Sutton has said the protest hasn’t played a significant role in the state’s surging virus infections.
Facts Feelings
The who BML movement in Australia was a joke. People protesting just for social media photos.
Trash company trash journalist bengrahamjourno Telling lies in a pandemic to push his racist agenda
Off course there would be a link! Gather 10k plus during a pandemic of a highly infectious disease and what’s going to happen? 🤷🏼♂️ 🦠😷
NOW will Dan Andrews resign? resignDanAndrews
This is a complete fabrication: “Health authorities have confirmed links” Provide a direct quote from health authorities that supports this claim or delete it.
That’s.... not what he said.
I guess you could classify no links as a link
Well DUH!
Only 3 infections from the BLM and 2 of those were infected elsewhere but here you are still trying to push your agenda of destroying Labor. I wonder if this 'outrage' would be the same if it was a Lib govt?
we don't stand with you people help first your selves and we talk after if you deserve it
Build a wall around Victoria, it's a dirty stinky shithole anyway... Diversity bollards everywhere, grafitti and urine soaked laneways, so woke.
“The DHHS [...] said they’re yet to establish the source of any of the interlinked clusters. “Victoria’s chief health officer Brett Sutton has said the protest hasn’t played a significant role in the state’s surging virus infections.”
Finally some transparent journalism
Wait, so you're telling me that mass gathering during a pandemic can spread a virus?
Please read this article, the headline is misleading in the extreme. I despair at the standard of journalism.
I wonder if all the people who have been saying that the increase in virus numbers was not a result of 1000’s of people congregating at a protest will today proudly wear their moron hats!
Your organisation is an absolute fvcking disgrace. Foreign propaganda designed to divide Australia.
Headline doesn't represent the article. This is misleading, read before commenting
TweetCorrineB It was only a matter of time before this theory - aggressively denounced by the activists - became a fact.
Why are we not surprised?
Gee what a surprise 🙄
Collective “well, duh”
Really
Finally saying what we all already new.
But none in any other state?
Really? What a fucking surprise. What's next ? The Andrews Government declares that one and one equals two?
Yup told ya... Obviously don't need to be an expert to understand that.
All triggered because George Floyd died of a Fentanyl overdose while being arrested for passing fake bills. Them folks is smart they is!
This is no surprise ! I also suspect this information has been known for a while and suppressed.
How have you actually got away with this headline, considering the contents of the article are literally the complete opposite?
Sick of Murdoch trying to link outbreak to protests and pin it on dan when1.They were held in most major centres2. Dan urged them not to go. Organisers were fined 3. Re crazy 5G protests scomo said ‘it’s a free country’ 4.10000 allowed to watch footy
There are some people that won’t like this news
What a fucking surprise. Now that this has stuffed up Melbourne it’s officially ALL LIVES MATTER. or are we not allowed to say that
Well DONE leaders of the states!! You allowed activism at the cost of everyone else being in lock down and abiding by the rules. Anyone virtue signalling to the left:? Yes the govt. !! Enough of get out of jail race cards to do anything they please.
But apparently the protests had nothing to do with the sudden increase in Corona cases... Selfish
PeterK0243 mpsmithnews realRicBosiLTC RealMarkLatham SkyNewsAust JohnRuddick2 How pathetic DanielAndrewsMP GladysB ScottMorrisonMP AlboMP states allowing protesters to march now the rest of us suffer the consequences.Good Luck Gladys stopping me watching my grandchild play sport
Because you thought we didn’t already know this. CovidDan knowingly put the rest of us at risk to appease BLMTerrorists
So, a protester lives in the towers, but it’s unlikely they were infected at the protest and even more unlikely they infected anyone at the protest. Nice long bow to draw there.
Cpcc15
Great.
Who fucking saw that coming
Wow really? Was it only conservative voices that said this would happen?
DHHS have said this THIS article they’re yet to establish the source of any of the interlinked clusters. FAKE news!
Let’s just hope it wipes some of them out
Black Matter Lives didnt care about All Lives Matter. Selfish inconsiderate pricks. Gutless leadership by Daniel Andrews and relevant departments hamstrung by Andrews Gov. COVID19Aus COVIDVIC
Knew it !!
All those saying ‘no surprise’ - did u read the article? Possibly the worst written piece of journalism I’ve read in a long time. No new information, no clear link established, one whole paragraph doesn’t make sense. Total rubbish, thanks Rupert.
You literally just lied in your headline. The article negates your ridiculous headline. reclaimthenews auspol Enough of this propaganda
Blame 1. CCP for initiation of the pandemic. 2. Marxist orgs such as BLM . 3. Corporate MSM for its support of the protests. 4. George Soros for funding the movement and its coordination worldwide. 5. The flaccid performance of the government preventing and allowing the protests
Victorians now whinging becomes the socialist government that they voted in have locked them down for months while allowing BS protest
Weird headline when article says 'they’re yet to establish the source of any of the interlinked clusters ... the protest hasn’t played a significant role in the state’s surging virus infections.'
No shit Sherlock
What a misleading headline.
IStandWithDan 🤣😷
Gato188 This just goes to prove a 2 things; a: Vic. Government is dangerously incompetent b: BLM movement is dangerously incompetent as are its supporters. AllLivesMatter LivesMatter SayNoToRacism BLMisRacist BLMisDangerous
NO! Really!🤔Didn't see that one coming at all! COVIDIDIOTS VicGovAu DanielAndrewsMP Government is blaming mainstream society!🤔I think VicGov is responsible for second wave allowing mass protests while the rest of us sacrificed so much. OzraeliAvi
Surprise f%kin surprise!! At least GladysB attempted to stop it unlike chairman dan who gave full support! How is this joke still in a job!
What an irresponsible headline, the article actually says there is no link! Disgusting “journalism”
Even if no one got it through the BLM protest, the fact that it happened caused people to query why they had to socially distance when this was allowed to go ahead. Two sets of rules leads to complacency. And anger
Gato188 Now there’s a shock 🙄
sportstragic201
Wow what a surprise, no one saw that coming../
We all knew this when Andrews had the audacity to blame FAMILIES. The whole country knows COVIDVIC mess comes down to the idiots who marched for BLM during a pandemic. Um, if BLM why expose people to death?!🙄 The LIES and the COVER UP is always worse than the first mistake.
It was the beginning of the end. Not only did the transmission start it changed everyone’s attitude
Absolutely disgraceful putting protesting above the health and safety of the community including BLACK LIVES. Are we all in this together ...well we are now.
Genomic testing, contact tracing or what confirmation?
We expect Resignations today !!!! These Politicians are having a laugh at the Public’s expense. Time for a mid-term shake up
We going to hand out retrospective fines?
Noooo really?
Seems black lives are more important than protester lives. I'd agree with that.
No, this isn't possible. I know because the people that numbered in the BLM/Antifa marches are also the same ones that said if you don't social distance, Cov would kill Drs, nurses and grannies. Why would they say one thing and do another unless it was safe...duplicitous leftists
Well done Victoria... now stop bitching about being locked up, employed and badly done by... you are the reason we are back at the start!
Pretty misleading headline, particularly when 95% of people don’t read the article agenda
Hope u BlackLivesMatter racist people are happy u have stuffed up Victoria!!
Well they did use hand sanitizers
Sack the chief health officer , his deputy and the Victorian labour government who all supported attending the protest.
Victorians already knew that, we were just waiting for the truth to come out DanielAndrewsMP people are dying again now scumbag DansFault
Exactly nobody is shocked by this development.....however the real demonstration on display here is the incompetent leadership in Victoria...
OH REALLY
Well there you go
