Burnt Premier borrows from the future, hoping to avoid the big stick

Daniel Andrews had two messages: Melburnians could hope a measure of freedom is not far away; but those daring to break the rules in the meantime will face the wrath of the state.

In the wake of a nightmare few days, during which the Premier gave frustratingly vague evidence to the quarantine inquiry that ended the political career of his health minister, Jenny Mikakos, Andrews might have been tempted to leaven his burnt image by announcing substantial easing of the restrictions he has imposed on Melburnians.The runaway cases of coronavirus that followed the failure months ago of the state’s hotel quarantine system clearly haunt him.

This is what you get when minorities in Parliament and a lying Labour Party that allow a self interested dickhead and his moron department heads an extension of Emergency powers...

Still waving his big stick around.

Why are we paying for this blunder created by the Dan Andrews crones? Really, still holding us as hostages. When will it end

This inept lying Dictator must go Where the hell is the labor party sackdanandrews

His handling of our second wave, in the face of vitriolic criticism, will go down in history as a masterclass in pandemic management worldwide.

‘Burnt Premier”? This is the type of gutter press that takes it’s readership for granted. Dumb fuck alley journalism! boycotttheage

you mean 'Dan Andrews has listened to science instead of shrill morons and set Victoria on the path to beating the virus', right? what good do stupid shouty pieces like this actually do? Nobody likes lockdown, but nobody wants to be like Europe either. Just stop with this crap.

Dan Andrews is a biohazard and it’s obscene that the Governor of Victoria hasn’t dismissed him. Covid19VicData COVIDVIC19 vicpol

Ninefax have resisted the temptation to report anything objectively (let alone positively) about the success of Victoria's public health hard work.

I'm starting to think Andrews is a bit of a Politician to be honest.

Victorians are the dummest citizens on the planet. Blatantly aware they’re being led into downstream carnage by an incompetent serial liar with no respect for small-medium business, project performance, social or economic recovery, but they lovingly accept it. Masochist Central.

I just wish he had lifted the 5km restrictions. Or made it 10km. I’m child-free, my friends all live 10km away - so apart from lifting curfew, what freedom do I get?

He’s not fit to lead this state. Every time he appears on tv he just waffles. Nothing of substance. How can he justify not opening an essential service like hairdressers and barbers? What happened to personal hygiene? Take ownership for crippling the state’s economy!

Big Whoop, still can’t go more than 5 in from home or see family. Just a new $5K fine. The curfew you have without the word curfew. You can meet 4 others in a park, or a car park but not a home. I can go fishing and hiking. There are so many places to do that within 5 km of home.

Why does anyone support this guy? I see people saying he is doing a terrific job... meanwhile Victoria has had the most cases and most deaths in Australia by a large amount. Wasn’t all this caused by he and his parties incompetence?

This is why I cancelled my subscription to theage.

What an idiotic news reporting - this just stire In the “p$&(;:”’

He is throwing out a few crumbs to take the attention off his and his gov stuff up that killed approx 800 people ,they all have blood on their hands .

Time for a statue for Dan 😉 how long would it last you think

Ninefax have resisted the opportunity to report anything objectively (let alone positively) about the success of Victoria's public health hard work.

Who put this clown in charge of running a panpanic!

Marxist trash DanielAndrewsMP destroying Victoria and treating Victorians like trash

Lackey of the criminal class that rules the English speaking. Get in the bin and close the lid. Dan refused too sell his soul to your corrupt masters and it burns

Seriously? Did the herald sun write that headline for you? Come on!

A psychological profile would make interesting reading.

Dan Andrews Has shown that is a man of integrity Unlike most of the journalist reporting

Luckily many don’t cling to everything the media says and writes & look to research, data & facts. France anyone? DanielAndrewsMP was on fire yesterday & looked great - answered every question, even if inane. Please report on how NSW are copying Vic’s contact tracing system🙏😘

Is this journalism? Burnt! Big stick! Tell me the facts, not how I should feel about them. sodailymail

I’d prefer to take it slowly rather risk a third wave and end up locked down over the summer.

The government used evidence based reasoning. It is not about temptation. Can you lot sack Peter Costello already? Your editorial spin approach is boring. As an organisation you are unthinking and disgusting.

More Dictator Dan boosting from the Dictator Dan boosters at the age

Urgh.... what rubbish. How uninspiring and rotten. So unappealing and disengaging. The

Funny how the curfew was lifted just before the beginning of a Supreme Court challenge. Just saying... 🤷

Once the cat is out of the box it's easy to criticize someone how they should get it back in. But lets not forget that it was the victorian police commissioners refusal to manage qaurantine facitilities that has caused all of this loss of life, liberties & tens of billion$

It's all about his political career, he's upped the risk calculations to make it impossible for a major wave again which would mean the end of his career. Meanwhile deaths from suicide and business failures will rise. ResignDanielAndrews VicSpill Springst

Meat processing plants, known hot spots are good to go. Wearing a mask outdoors in a park with little risk is not okay.

Not sure why Andrews and Pakula are still standing and a woman had to yield? I thought the Labor party was all about the advancement of women?

Surprised at Tony Wright’s piece.Not by his comments, which are his observations, to which he’s entitled,but by his choice of emotive language and his insinuation that Andrews might be doing all this to save himself. Well, if he is, I, for one, am glad he’s taking us with him.

I’ve bought a subscription to the Age... thank you for being a voice other than Murdoch’s to call out this madness

As Joe Camilleri once sang, “ If you believe, woh oh! There's better times ahead There's better days yeah yeah “

Let's take our time and knock it on the head.

The only thing burnt around here is the reputation of . 165 years of bold, smart, independent journalism, building a trusted and loved brand. Debauched and broken within 12 months by 9NewsAUS. What an arse-whip bog roll. RIP The Age.

The repulsive embodiment of the 2020 state politician. Young Labor arts student - ALP office admin - MP - Leader - Falsifier-in-chief. Negligent. Unqualified. Unworthy.

bill_dobell That will really help the 800 people who lost their lives because of the incompetence of this mans government let alone the 100’s 1000’s who have lost jobs and or businesses and those now experiencing mental health issues and the harm to our kids

Dear age , I have stopped my subscription due to your Herald Sun style of reporting. This saddens me as I have been a subscriber all my adult life. The reports now are Murdoch driven.

Speaking of nightmares, this lockdown comes courtesy of govt incompetence, not social interaction... Covid deaths are courtesy of elderly in the aged care industry, not elderly living at home... When will the media investigate aged care?

Well this is just more trash from the Age. Unfollowed

Agree. We dont want what is happening in London and Paris.

Over 6 million Victorian’s are being held to ransom by this imbecile. It’s really quite incredible that it is happening in Australia!

Didn’t look burnt to me. Admitted he’d worked all night. Was delivering what he promised and more.

hope is for hoples. As journalist you are not asking right questions. Where is science?

Can’t take hope to the bank! This shit DanielAndrewsMP has done enough damage. Time for a deep clean.

The guy is full of BS. Basing his decisions on unelected medicos under the influence of WHO and Beijing.

TheAge can take Wright’s comment & shove it. Since the onset of the pandemic the persecution by TheAge of the LNP’s political opponents has been relentless while Morrison has been shielded from scrutiny. We will remember. BinTheAge auspol

He's a timid, incompetent, vindictive man. He will punish everyone for the second wave. God help Victorians. Y'all are f !!

Shit stuff from Peter Costello's propaganda outlet, once again.

Temptation is the agent of the devil. Denying temptation makes Daniel Andrews a good Christian. Pity our other leaders are not so strong.

He stole $100 off us, gave us $5 back and expects gratitude.

What century?

Dan is not offering hope of better times ahead, rather controls on our life were we need his permission for everything. This is not healthy, we deserve better.

Somebody needs to get a big stick and whack DictatorDan out of the park all the way 🇨🇳🇨🇳

Taking the state down the gurgler.

So greatfull supreme leader.

Shut up

Hey, can you tell please Peter Costello that we don't care for such garbage articles? ThisIsNotJournalism

He gave everyone some crumbs and called it a meal.

How on earth does toilet paper like this help anyone

Seriously this is drivel.
