Another Victorian has died from coronavirus, with Chief Medical Officer Brett Sutton announcing the death of a woman in her 60s in Melbourne last night. It takes the state's death toll to six, and the number of deaths in Australia to 24.The state opposition is calling on the Andrews government to reverse its ban on recreational fishing or explain to Victorians why the passive sport has been outlawed.
A decision that has probably “shocked and surprised” many fishers, Opposition Leader Michael O’Brien said, given NSW announced recreational fishing would be allowed as long as people were abiding by social distancing rules. “If the government has missed the mark on this, if there’s a way for public health and safety to be protected, which does not damage people’s ability to wet a line by themselves in a local creek, then I call on the Premier to look at that again.”
“If there’s a way to be less damaging to people’s livelihoods, less damaging to people’s peace of mind and still get public health outcomes, that’s what we should be doing,” he said.“But otherwise we are saying if it's a recreational activity, then it's not on,” he said.
All politicians should donate all money from perks and half their monthly salaries to help pay for all the financial support the PM has announced.
ERM... How about no pay rises at all
First change post pandemic & beyond next election is - “ all politicians in this land with have their superannuation transferred to accumulation funds, the same as all Australians “ - one way to flatten the bulge 😂
How about the people “lay” the politicians off & we stand in, while they have gotten rid of our jobs ....!! Gone are the days of when the leaders led us into battle and lived under their rules - just look the super farce we pay for ....
The arrogance and self righteousness of this Commie creep is astounding. The pure hatred he creates is beyond description...Early 30s Germany level of hatred?
Pathetic beings - bleeding tax payers dry while the economy crumbles & people slip into poverty. Typical selfish elites
Great to see the challenge is being taken up by MP’s ... all Gov Agencies, Public Sector and Service and Boards should contribute ... we are all in this together!
They should donate their year's worth of pay for the year. What they offer is meaningless.
No just get paid 1500 a fortnight like others who are not working until August at least.
This is outrageous! They will get the benefit of tax deduction for the donation and the added super contributions.
Are we going to see receipts? Just cancel the pay rise!
I don't get paid more for being updated and responding and being required to keep up to date on television about further restrictions.. which is a nightmare of too much overload of information for everyone to process in little time. We're all tired.
So with less taxes collected this year due to Corona Virus, where does Daniel Andrews and his MP think the extra money will be coming from? You have to have an entire working population fully functional for that to happen.
CUTS
Three Labour MP's on the roof of parliament house had to be enticed away from the edge.
And claim the tax deduction. I know how this works. ScamAware
But they retain pay rises for the next year? How sneaky. WhereIsDan
Alternate headline: 2 million people are losing their jobs and pollies aren't even cancelling their pay rises, just donating them for 12 months
Good to see.
