Breaking: Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced that the federal government will be establishing a fund for pandemic leave disaster payments for Victoria

The health department is investigating COVID-19 cases linked to a string of new businesses including Qantas freight services, the Northern Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, Melbourne United basketball club, Bestway Dandenong, Jayco Dandenong and Martin and Pleasance in Port Melbourne.

"I'm making it clear to people, we all have to follow these rules. We all have to accept that this is the reality we're now confronted by.Essential workers can still travel regionallyCan Melbourne workers continue to travel to regional Victoria to work? Yes says the Premier - as long as they are an essential worker)."However, regardless of the setting, regardless of the job you do, no-one can go to work if you've got even the mildest of symptoms," Daniel Andrews said.

"We don't want to be putting people into that really challenging situation where they have to explain themselves even they don't really need to."ByThe 8pm curfew will allow police to have a greater oversight over the reasons people are out late at night, Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said.

With almost 6500 active cases in Victoria, Professor Sutton was asked whether it was realistic that number could be driven down in six weeks.This is not just his view, he said, but that of the public health team supporting him and the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee comprising all the chief health officers.

So in other words no find will be established?

Can I not pay tax if you’re going to keep p*ssing it away?

Is anyone asking How We Are Going To Pay This All Back 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Bet this will be another 'notional' fund 🤔.... Wonder which policy these funds will be redirected from because... NDIS funds were redirected to drought victims, Drought relief funds were redirected to bushfire victims... which turned out to be notional policy/fund ... 🤔🤔🤔

What a shame this wasn’t done before all those COVID19Vic casual employees were forced to go to work or face homelessness.

Hopefully payments are disbursed at a faster rate than they were from the bushfire fund...

Is that like the Emergency Fire fund?

Get on with it.

Is it odd that the PM does not seem to think he is also the PM of Victoria? Throughout this whole speech, I felt as though Vic was one of my consulting clients - I tell them to do stuff, but I'm not responsible for how it turns out... (I may not be a great consultant...)

He would also need to replace the premier

When will the LNP start being proactive instead of reactive? If we want the rest of the states to avoid what Victoria is going though we need federally funded paid pandemic leave to get tested for EVERY worker incl casuals and 2 wks paid leave if they test postive NOW

So if someone in any other state has no sick leave and has to isolate for 2 weeks they get nothing?

So why can't parliament use Zoom...just like we all have to?

If they cant self isolate not sure why we should pay.

When will the Indian security guards, responsible for instigating the outbreak in Victoria, be named?
