Premier Daniel Andrews got a rare vote of confidence this week when Australia’s Hollywood hard man Russell Crowe told his 2.7 million twitter followers the Premier was doing a good job, exhorting Andrews to keep going even if he was “going through hell”.
Some progress was made. Andrews fell back to a position where no politician is ever comfortable. He couldn’t answer many questions, mostly about what he and his minister knew about the hiring of private security guards for the quarantine hotels, because he simply did not have the answers and that was what the inquiry was for.
Andrews also left open on Friday the possibility of finally making public the genomic data that may conclusively show the link between the large COVID-19 clusters that developed in Melbourne’s north and west in late June and early July and the hotels that housed returned travellers. There were mixed feelings about dragging more than 30 MPs, some of them from the regions, into the Spring Street building as stage four began. But nobody could defend Mikakos’ response, refusing to answer each question put to her in QT and issuing written responses the next day.
Who is the security firm used for hotel quarantine in NSW?
Victorians are so f*cking sick of 'journalists' piling onto Dan Andrews that we're all cancelling subscriptions- in case you hadn't noticed. auspol
If you want a witch hunt about hotel quarantine going wrong in Victoria, then please apply the same blowtorch to the Ruby Princess debacle. auspol LNPfail
Who is Russell Crowe?
This is the media - NineNews this time and not Murdoch Media - defining the COVID 19 situation as a storm for Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews. It is a storm - for Victoria and a challenge for the Premier But, why the need to personalize and implicitly criticize Russell Crowe?
If only the Feds had followed NZs example
What a joke the idiot Towell and Costello's rag are. Been running down the Premier for months. Victorians are behind him more than ever.
Well well well look at that now Russel Crowe supporting the demise of Australian People i wonder how your NZ folks would feel about that do you actually support the globalist ideology Russel 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Because he's another that makes a living telling fairytales
Poorly written article, confusing, journalism should bring clarity?
Glad I cancelled this shit rag.
Time to stop the focus on Andrews and lay the blame squarely at the feet of those who are out and about spreading the virus in Victoria. Covidiots take the blame.
How dare you claim our premier DanielAndrewsMP had a 'rare vote of confidence.' That is out-and-out crap. Rather, support for him is widespread, and growing, and you know it. Any wonder people are cancelling subscriptions in droves auspol
Whether it’s Andrews,Sutton,Gladys, Brad or the CMOs ,whoever are managing the covid response for their state ..support them and sort the crap out after we are through the pandemic.We need them to succeed. Opposition politics is destructive when the catastrophe is upon you.
Good on ya Rusty!
It's more than reasonable to wait for the findings of the Coate Inquiry. She will have found all the facts. Why should the Premier bow to a baying & blaming group of reporters? Especially if they are as shoddy and opinionated as Noel Towell has shown himself to be in the past?
Aaaahhhhh Russell Crowe. A true hero of the proletariat who assaults bourgeoise Mexican hotel clerks for fun. It’s good to know that DanielAndrewsMP Hollywood mates are only a phone’s throw away.
Lesson to be learnt here. Right wing bias does not sell newspapers
If you journalists read the comments you’ll see how out of touch you are.
FakeNews
Just don't have him sing his runied two movies by signing
Fk off russellcrowe . What do you know? This half wit Andrews has screwed Victoria and you tweet from your Hollywood funded abode alll is ok! Check in with reality you knob.
People can see the difference. Daniel has not stopped working. while the rest of the politicians are sitting on there hands. and criticizing Daniel. and cooking in the kitchen. the people are behind Daniel and backing him.
Dan does have 'more than Hollywood star power' behind him. And Russell is Australian star power, btw.
Article could use more Russell Crowe. 2/5 stars
So celebrity made ALL the difference ...phew thank god for that (P.S. nice one Russell)
I even couldn’t finish reading this article 🤦♂️. As a Victorian, I tell that he has huge support all the time. Wake up, read the room
noeltowell What do you mean a rare show of support? Dan Andrews has more support than the Vic Libs mate. Seriously where do you pull your facts out of? IStandWithDan COVID19Vic
Is he the guy that losses his temper and hits people with a phone?
