Is it true that in Melbourne we will move to Stage 2 in December? If that’s the case, then our kids won’t be back at school until Feb 2021.

we know lockdown works, and that melbourne will come out of this ok. just hang in there.

Get a grip on your fear!

Interesting how the media hasn't noted today was the first day since June 14 we actually had a drop in active cases. Minimal yes, a drop of 3, but still a drop.

DanielAndrewsMP is Australia’s first genuinely agile leader. He iterates strategy and tactics constantly based on feedback and data. It’s a template for good government and leadership through and beyond CovidVic

With Andrews’ micromanagement going on Melbourne will still be in lockdown with boarded up shop windows when the rest of the world is doing international travel and bustling economies.

Parking officers still at work amid Melbourne stage four lockdown | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says Melbourne is meant to be in stage four lockdown yet parking officers are still allowed to work.\n\nControversy was sparked recently when a woman who had worked 56 hours over four days in the ICU at the Royal Melbourne Hospital came to her car to find a parking fine.\n\nAfter she took to social media with the story, the fine was promptly dismissed with the state government promising to provide the hospital with additional front line worker permits.\n\n“Right now, even the number of people working in warehouses that actually distribute the food around Melbourne is limited,” Mr Murray said.\n\n“If a lockdown means very (few) people are allowed to get in and around Melbourne, why are the parking officers at work at all.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Good, selfish people should park correctly then they wouldn't get a ticket Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), it should be the essential key to the CCP Virus, now is banned from the main livestream media only because it is too cheap and too easy to solve the disaster.

A group of Muslim-Australians and industry veterans are behind efforts to change that.

Vic Premier grilled over doctor receiving parking ticket during stage four lockdowns | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews was caught off-guard when a reporter asked him why an ICU doctor from the Royal Melbourne Hospital received a parking ticket from the City of Melbourne during stage four lockdowns.\n\n'Firstly, firstly, let me follow up on that matter, ah, I'm sure, let me follow up on that matter,' he said.\n\n'I don't think someone who's in there literally saving lives at considerable risk to themselves should be the subject of a parking ticket.'\n\nMr Andrews emphasised parking inspectors did not work for the Victorian government and fewer people were generally parking, pointing to data that suggested traffic was down 40-50 per cent.\n\n'You can't build a perfect system when it comes to these rules,' he said.\n\n'There's no manual on how to shut down a very large part of the Victorian economy.'\n\nThe Premier also said he would look into why parking inspectors were currently considered essential workers. \n\n'I'm not certain all parking inspectors are working across the state - let me follow up on the status of their work,' he said.\n\nMr Andrews said he would personally 'follow up' on the infringement issued to the doctor on duty. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia DanielAndrewsMP Of course he'd be taken off guard. It's a stupid question, oh hang on, that's why he's off guard. Got it. DanielAndrewsMP How the fuck would the Premier know ? What a stupid question DanielAndrewsMP Spitefulness is manifesting eg tyre damage.
