TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP Sky News are a disgrace. Set up for the uneducated masses who have a superiority complex. A nasty person’s news broadcaster!

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP Michael Sukkar knows all about blaming everyone else and not taking responsibility, but quarantines like this are a part of national security which is his Federal Govt's responsibility, along with AgedCare.

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP What I really don’t understand here is that there is a current inquiry that will deliver these answers, how about trying to unite Victoria ? Why not focus on how to get out ? Plenty of time later for how we got here

MichaelSukkarMP Governor General please step in and sack this incompetent premier and his gang They have blood on their hands.. Not just covid.. But suicides!!! Communism iS running Melbourne!!!

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP The Liberals are sickening during a pandemic.

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP Your right we would have been better with your approach to defeating corona - culling bats on the Yarra river 😂😂😂😂

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP If Victoria had a Liberal State Government they would be doing the very exact same thing as Andrews and Labor are doing right now

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP This one is getting very tired.

MichaelSukkarMP Yes EDDIE whatever you recon

MichaelSukkarMP Tell Mr products in your hair to F off.

MichaelSukkarMP Maybe the Feds should review their contracts and contractors. And who let the Ruby Princess in?

MichaelSukkarMP The inquiry is stalled... impacted by COVID-19, cannot proceed. So... the inquiry that cannot deliver an answer yet is more important than what's happening to Victorians right now? Vic opposition only want a political scalp. Unelectable trash.

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP Gladys did the same thing she was just lucky that the guards were sleeping on the job not shagging people

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP Another Sky News retweet, you’re flying Timmy.

MichaelSukkarMP Astonishing this Government and his inept side show have failed in every aspect and YET we the Victorians are being punished, bankrupted, mentally loosing focus, break ups, suicides, uncertainty and we are still listening and taking orders? Will you All STEP DOWN NOW. PATHETIC.

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP So this 'article' as they put it is 4 tweets long. Senior Coalition MP Michael Sukkar has slammed the Andrews government for the “hotel quarantine debacle” as he reveals the extent of suffering caused by stage four lockdowns. In an exclusive interview with Sky News Political 1/4

MichaelSukkarMP He obviously knows a lot about failure! Thanks to him and his colleagues this country was already on its knees heading into this crisis. He should look in his own backyard & shut up about issues which seem far greater than his meagre understanding allows him to express.

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP Why blame a state government for the failings of a private security firm? victorialockdown

MichaelSukkarMP Funny how these maggots are all silent about getting to the bottom of one of the root causes of COVID19 outbreak in Australia - the 'RUBY PRINCESS DEBACLE' But hey, that might implicate some of their mates.

MichaelSukkarMP VIC Liberals- Prophets of economic doom

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP You're a PandemicTerrorist Tim.

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP

MatthewGuyMP MichaelSukkarMP Thanks for being a voice.

TimSmithMP MichaelSukkarMP Anyone going to ask the government about Child Care? It’s pushing woman out of the workplace and creating highly stressful situations for families everywhere. The feeling is that the government wants to reduce woman to the bare foot and pregnant slur of yesteryear. auspol

Australia may have to ‘settle in for the very long haul’: Andrew Bolt | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says the devastation of more lockdowns if the virus isn’t kept at bay in Victoria would be too shocking, while forcing citizens to comply would make governments look “more like police states”.\n\nVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews on Sunday announced that his government would be placing metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire into stage four lockdowns, whilst instituting an 8PM curfew.\n\nThe Victorian government has also revealed which services and workplaces will be forced to close down, with business shutdowns leading to the loss of an expected 250,000 workers.\n\n“There’s this desperate idea going around – this great hope – that if we just clamp down on this virus for a few months we’ll be rescued,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“So just push on a bit longer with these bans, and it will soon be over. Except the head of the World Health Organisation last night said not quite.\n\n“A vaccine might be years away. Or the virus could keep mutating. Or immunity may last only a few months. Or work imperfectly.\n\n“We may have to settle in for the long haul. The very long haul.”\n\nImage: Getty Bolt is not an Aussie As usual, BLOT brings no solutions to the problems. Just an admission that in his view, whatever Andrews does will be wrong. Blot is a virus. IStandWithDan

Andrews govt believe Victorians are 'stupid' and will forget the quarantine scandal | Sky News AustraliaThe Parliament of Victoria was forced to endure 20 minutes of “obfuscating, filibustering, .... and blathering” by the state’s Health Minister who refused to accept responsibility for the COVID-19 outbreak says Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\n“There are multiple failures that stack up to the roof”.\n\nTen thousand people were able to hide behind the Victorian human rights bill amid the second wave of the virus, as privacy laws impeded upon tracking and tracing processes, allowing many potential positive cases to avoid taking a coronavirus test, Mr Murray said.\n\n“We learnt today that apparently there was a thing called the crazy floor in one of these hotels where essentially people were denied the ability to smoke and that meant they were forced into cold turkey so they were going crazy”.\n\n“They were able to overpower guards they were able to bribe guards”. \n\nMr Murray said the Andrews government simply believes the general public are “stupid and will forget” the many scandals which have marred its political career over the past few years.\n\nImage: Getty Sack her for goodness sake!! What will it take!? Because they did their jobs, if you have any evidence to the contrary let's see it. But Australians are forced to endure round-the-clock, pro-liberal, monopolised media so I'm sure the Liberal MP degenerates in VicPol can cop 20 mins of silence.

Mandatory hotel quarantine for Vic travellers returning to Sydney | Sky News AustraliaNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian will force every returning traveller landing in Sydney Airport from Victoria to quarantine in a hotel for two weeks.\n\nThose travellers will also be hit with the total cost of the quarantine to ensure taxpayers are not left picking up the tab.\n\n“In view of the health advice, in view of the escalating situation in Victoria, the New South Wales government today has decided, based on the evolving health situation and the health advice, to ensure and require that every returning traveller from Victoria is in the mandatory 14-day hotel quarantine when they get to Sydney Airport,” she said.\n\n“We are also mandating that no-one can come to New South Wales outside of those border communities that's defined in the public health orders, but for Sydney Airport. \n\n“We don't want to see multiple places where returning travellers are coming. And we also feel, given the evolving situation in Victoria has been going on for some weeks, that do that at their own expense.”\n\nThe changes came after Premier Daniel Andrews announced 15 more people had been killed by the virus – 12 of which were linked to the troubled aged care sector - which brought the state’s death toll to 162 since the beginning of the pandemic.\n\nThe Premier also confirmed another 745 cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours.\n Hoax Only those landing at Sydney airport? Well......obviously - maybe track every single one for the last month and put them in a cupboard also
