“Victoria was today virtually shut down to fight the coronavirus,” Mr Bolt said. Premier Andrews has detailed the lengths of the stage four lockdowns which will turn metropolitan Melbourne into a ghost town for at least six weeks in a desperate bid to slow the spread of the killer coronavirus. Mr Andrews ordered all non-essential workers not to leave their homes from Thursday but promised people they will not need to bulk buy food as supermarkets, grocery stores and pharmacies would stay open.

The stinging is turning quite painful now for the soy-cialist snowflakes, who realise the Vic disaster architect, Wuhan Dan, is a deadmanwalking
OK so it was initially an over-reaction but now it wasn't enough? 0 formal qualifications.
DanielAndrewsMP should have been stood down during the investigation. It’s clear the hotel quarantine process is riddled with gross incompetence. Why is he still on the podium?
2. .... against 'Corona Virus 19'. In particular, if you commit such an offense for the power or money of an individual, such as a presidential election, I will brutally punish.
1. The symptoms of 'corona virus 19' are many. This means that there are many mutations in 'Corona Virus 19'. It is also ongoing. If you send nonsense news to people right now, you'll see the terrible worst results immediately. People will be not nervous and will be defenseless
The virus is spread by people in close contact with others or by touching contaminated surfaces then our faces. A minority of idiots have not followed the public health orders and good advice. Now everyone has to pay for their stupidity. Covid kills people, jobs and the economy
Bolt is politically themed entertainment filler sandwiched between advertising content sold by Sky.
Isn't a death a life ruined? Unchristian unethical viewpoint. Any church leaders agree with this?
And who cares what Bolt says?
Excellent , called as is. Andrews govt is an epic failure.
Sorry to inform you guys but no one listens to Herr Bolt any more.
These lockdown stages were planned with initial forecasts of up to 150,000 deaths, why are we doing this to ourselves?
Absolutely 100%. Accountability is next and those clowns that call themselves medical experts on the governments payroll step down- incompetent, pathetic, evil.
Thanks from UK you are almost a lone voice of informed common sense and reason in an insane world at the moment.
We can expect Mr Bolt to excoriate Trump, Johnson, Bolsonaro, Dutton, Lincoln (of Border Force) etc with equal gusto for their abject (arguably deliberate) failures to contain COVID in their respective countries, right?
Take some responsibility Victorians. You left your homes in lock down to protest bs and. Ow you’re paying for itnoSympathy
Human spirit is undefeatable from the flames to the pungent air we will raise and we will prosper
Yes. I agree. Just like george pell and the Catholic Church. Unforgivable.
The same Andrew Bolt who wanted to ease restrictions to save the economy? That was in April , BTW. More unhelpful and misguided commentary.
Sky 'News' hurled SIX flaming oPiNiOnS at Victoria while she's down in the last hour, every single one of them attacking our Premier. What is afoot?🧐😵Are there new pandemic laws coming to stop angry privileged people shouting from Sky or something? IStandWithDan IStandWithVIC
And this coming from a sky news host who has the medical qualifications of a blow fly
This is a scandal
Sick bastard.
Mr Daniel Andrews & Dr Brett Sutton have blood on their hands. Who the fark keeps the suicide statistics? Please release them to the public. The Opposition MUST emphatically farking scream at the government when parliament resumes.

There 'must' be a royal commission into Victoria's handling of the coronavirus | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi says when Victoria is through this catastrophe, there must be a royal commission into the state’s mishandling of the coronavirus crisis.\n\n“From the hotel quarantine fiasco to contact tracing failures to the lives destroyed by lockdown,” Ms Panahi said.\n\nThis comes as Premier Daniel Andrews is set to announce hard lockdowns for the state, where only essential services will be allowed to open.\n\n“If those restrictions are imposed expect to see many more lives and livelihoods destroyed,' she said.\n\n“And expect to see another surge in Victorians battling mental health issues as joblessness and financial pressures combine with isolation and loneliness.\n\n“From the very start of this pandemic, Victoria had the harshest lockdown in Australia, was the slowest in lifting restrictions, and then was the only state to impose a second lockdown after gross mishandling of the hotel quarantine program allowed the virus to spread during the first lockdown.\n\n“Victoria has now recorded more coronavirus cases and deaths than every other state and territory combined. \n\n“It's pretty damn clear that lockdowns are not a substitute for competent governance. \n\n“As Victorians brace for more crippling restrictions, the rest of the country is slowly returning to normal with businesses open, kids at schools, restaurants and bars full, sporting clubs back training and families enjoying get togethers.\n\n“Incompetence has consequences.”\n RitaPanahi Quarantine and Aged Care are both Morrison's responsibility, so by all means bring on a Royal Commission. RitaPanahi Yes bring on a royal commission to expose the federal liberal government yes please RitaPanahi It only gets through by releasing Hydroxychloroquine and by the arrest of the Murder and Criminal China boy DanielAndrewsMP

Nationals denounce restrictions on regional Victoria | Sky News AustraliaThe Nationals are furious regional Victorians are being forced to sacrifice their liberties because of Melbourne’s second wave of COVID-19.\n\nFrom 11.59pm on Wednesday, regional Victoria is set to return to stage three restrictions.\n\nThe stay-at-home order will leave those outside of Melbourne with just four reasons to go outside: shopping, caregiving, exercise and work or study.\n\nSchools will return to remote and flexible learning for all years, excluding specialist schools, a move Gippsland MP Darren Chester and Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack have criticised.\n\n“Those students in country areas have done nothing wrong, their districts have not had a COVID case, if they can get that face-to-face learning they should be able to do so,” Mr McCormack said.\n\nThe stage three restrictions for regional Victoria will remain in place for at least six weeks.\n\nImage: Getty Since when have the Nationals given a toss about regional Australia? Have the Minerals Council approved this?

'HEARTBREAKING SHUTDOWN': Melbourne businesses face mass closures on Thursday | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has detailed the “heartbreaking” lengths of his stage four lockdowns which will turn metropolitan Melbourne into a ghost town for at least six weeks in a desperate bid to slow the spread of the killer coronavirus.\n\nMr Andrews ordered all non-essential workers not to leave their homes from Thursday but promised people they will not need to bulk buy food as supermarkets, grocery stores and pharmacies would stay open.\n\n“As heartbreaking as it is to close down places of employment, while I never thought that I would be telling people not to go to work, that is what we have to do in order to stop the spread of this wildly infectious virus, this deadly virus,” he said.\n\n“Supermarkets, grocery stores, bottle shops, pharmacies, petrol stations, banks, news agencies, post offices, plus of course everybody involved in our frontline response, our comprehensive response to this pandemic. That means people do not need to be going and buying six weeks worth of groceries.”\n\nThe tougher shutdown has come as the Andrews Government has failed to slow the spread of the second wave of COVID-19 which has resulted in thousands of new cases and dozens of deaths.\n\nMr Andrews said all retail had been ordered to close on Thursday with some manufacturing coming to an end as well.\n\n“Wednesday, retail will close, some manufacturing will close, some admin will close,” he said.\n\n“These businesses, unless they have specific requirements to safely shut down on a slightly longer timeline, they will have to close by 11.59pm on Wednesday night.”\n DRAMATIC TWEET! Can he not just Resign and handover to someone else more capable of doing what he failed to do. Why is it liberals find it hard to resign even when all the lights are screaming FAILURE!!! Good luck Victoria.
