“The consultations with the Victorian government are like lectures. You go onto a call and there are about 50 or 60 people on the call, and they lecture you and then they get off the call.”
But on Wednesday Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said the contact tracing approach that had served Victoria in recent outbreaks “can deal with variants of concern if you go broadly [and] go really rapidly”. The Health Department was on Wednesday investigating the case of a man who returned a weak positive test when he arrived at hospital from the Twin Parks aged care home in Reservoir. The man had COVID-19 in August and authorities believe it is a case of “persistent shedding”. He has no links to the Holiday Inn and the test result it not being tallied as a positive case.
“They had to weigh up potential risk against cost and I’m very comfortable with the decision they made.” The building industry, which was largely exempt from industry-wide shutdowns in 2020, was among those still reeling from the effect of the snap lockdown.
As if Kim Ill Dan gives two shits about business leaders
At the slightest mention of a new hot spot we must lock down to stop the spread of the virus. Australians stranded overseas must get vaccinated there and go into isolation for a month while being tested regularly before being allowed to come back here.
bill_dobell The lockdown did nothing. It is so clear by the lack of cases in these 5 days that there was no need for it and it simply wasn’t in the community like the fear they portray time and time again. No confidence in contact tracing and no care of the wider impact on health and economy
Their main concern is their bank balance, be real a second. Why should we lock ourselves into what a future lockdown can be if needed when the disease changes does the situation? This lockdown was equal with the recent ones in Brisbane and Perth so the response seems fair
What ?!? Clarity on the nature of disease I think your concern is your livelihood. Don’t patronise is.
Nail in a pin with a sledgehammer and this is what you get
So they want an end to the pandemic? Well don’t we all
melblawyer26 It’s not that I want Dan to die. It’s just.. I wish he wasn’t living anymore.
We have a federal government does absolutely nothing, cannot even secure vaccine supplies ( I mean those arrived onshore not purely in order)!
The Daily Dan Bashing brought to you by The Age newspaper.
Example of how different rules for different people CAUSES Wealth Inequality (& division). Govts can 'reclaim' land to build a new road etc. Given this precedent, why cant they reclaim Avalon Airport & build purpose built quarantine site? Or don't the same rules apply to the rich
Good luck. This shit DanielAndrewsMP government would not the first thing about the needs of small businesses.
paulsakkal The Age could give businesses a crystal ball?
Failure of both Fed & Dan’s Gov, there’s no unity from both parties to tackle COVID-19. Walk around airport not hard to find how lax enforcement is, no mask at sight, no temp monitoring etc so hotel bungled is inevitable. Don’t toy our economy/livelihood with your incompetence!
Dear Business leaders, if the COVID-Safe app hadn't been such a dismal failure, hard lockdowns might have been avoidable
These are the reasons I mention, you sold our power ScottMorrisonMP our Human Rights as a country, as humans, as women and as a conglomerate of Indigenous to Australia. Yes, you Snake. Do you not see it? Who took your sight? 🤨Or did you sell it? We will win AlboMP ⚖️ Watch 🕊
Its like talking to a brick wall he just dosent get it .
Do you mean business leaders who fund the Liberal Party and are not above politics on this topic?
Should aim at Federal. Quarantine is a national issue.
He flips a coin every morning.
If this is the quality of news from , we can only hope that Twitter will ban your posts as well. hashtag hashtag hashtag
Quite a few tenders for some multinationals to set up base in Victoria are compromised at the moment. Watch this space.
The triggers are Dan's feeble mind and backbone as he has zero confidence in his HQ system. Clearly demonstrated this week with a Lockdown over a few cases and people wearing garbage bags over their heads! But all is fine if you believe FigjamDan resigndanielandrews
melblawyer26 Wasnt there a roadmap which specified that less than 5 new cases a day with 0 unknown source meant: no restrictions on travel, schools open, hospitality open (capped), sport open, intrastate travel allowed, entertainment allowed (capped), accomodation open What happened to that?
This is a Fed govt fail. One of the many being exposed. The States can only do so much without Fed support. $’s doesn’t cut it. ScottMorrisonMP GregHuntMP there is no consistent National plan. whendidyouknow
We're a year in. How could people still be so epidemiologically stupid as to say this? It's not just how many cases, it's where they've been, it's where there close contacts have been. I think a key factor in the lockdown was someone saw potentially 1000s of people at the airpott
Awaiting the comments from the IstandwithDan lunatics
Clarity is not what is needed. Throw the Premier ‘under the bus’. Lies and lies and lies from Daniel Andrews and Sutton.
Agreed. A measured strategic approach that is consistent across all states would be very helpful for us all!
Businesses should call on Morrison to build quarantine facilities he has had a year and still nothing Quarantine is a Federal Government responsibility
Business demand end to COVID, there fixed it

Victorian businesses rejoice as 'disappointing' lockdown to liftVictorian businesses have rejoiced following news the state&x27;s five-day lockdown will end tonight after a turbulent year of hardship. If that murderer Dan forces another lockdown, the people will revolt. It will be beautiful. Like Ceaușescu's before, his reaction will be amazing to see. It really cannot happen again. It is unnecessary, unscientific and irrational. It is so harmful. It will keep happening whilst ever there is an incompetent bloke at the helm of the State.
