The Unsupervised, Untrained & moraless & Dishonest Security Guards along with a Weak Government and a Premier who dropped the ball caused this ALL to happen... Where do We go fro here...

Hotel quarantine was outsourced. That’s what happened. Poor training. Poor pay. Poor provision of PPE. It’s not really a mystery. The Premier must resign.

What happen u ask Danny forgot to take his medication..and he actually thinks hes Ghenkis Khan..when every one knows I am

The LNP RW complained Loudly to Open up. Came from the Top down.

It didn't realise the migrant guards were acting like Third World animals.

It is an insidious infectious disease. We rely on each other to do the right thing that’s what’s happened. People went to weddings, work, school as/symptomatic. Until we have a vaccine its going to happen. Victorians let Victorians down. No amount of politics can change that.

FFS ppl, BLM only yielded 1 yes ONE case of covid & that probably wasnt from there 100%. What caused this? Complacency, people being utter morons, 70k going to Chaddy, Daylesford Markets etc. Families contracting covid & NOT ISOLATING. PEOPLE ACTING LIKE WE ARE OVER IT!

You mean the Premier was confident not Victoria. Maybe between the Premier and universities they got some more Chinese students in with some fresh Kung Flu.

Maybe the guard was let down...

Laziness and stupidity

Cedar meats Untrained security Quarantined not tested 10,000 refusing test BLM march

Too confident.

Headline should read, ‘only a month ago conservative governments were belittling Victoria and bullying them into easing restrictions.’ Continued: Residents took this as Vic Gov. being too severe with restrictions, ignoring advice from Gov.

This virus seems to follow me around🥴

Randy Andy?

BLM protest, Dan shot himself in the foot allowing this protest to proceed..

Dictator Dan allowed a protest to happen and that opened Pandora's box.

Announcement made on 24 May relaxing Vic restrictions from 1 June was in my view trigger for current spike Escalating community transmission already evident from 1 May 1 May 140 27 May 183 23 June 233 30 June 281 5 July 401 Big mistake allowing 20 people household visits!

What happened? YOUR BLOODY FAULT. The corporate media in an effort to gain political points for the Liberals, lied and put people last! The corrupt media needs to be made accountable!

Need to shut the whole city down again...we desperately need a vaccine then things will be able to return to normal.

Labor stuffed it is was happened

progressives can't obey rules

The success of Dan’s police state will fail again . Incompetence

Protests.. all living in the socialist inner north

The letters is what happened .... B L M

DictatorDan CedarAndrews

BLM and botched hotel quarantine happened

Melbournians; please stop coming to Torquay. Stay home!

Dan Andrews incompetence

ChairmanDan didn’t allow the army to monitor quarantine, instead he allowed foreign students with 5 mins training to do the job. 🙄

Lack of governance

What happened? Facebook/conspiracy theories and the likes of TimSmithMP etc calling for restrictions to be lifted from the start and down playing the seriousness ofCOVID-19 because his mate couldn’t open his cafe. And here we are...

That’s easy, a highly infectious virus and a lot of people letting their guard down too early. It only takes one small match to light a big fire.

Incompetent and exploitive private security firms.

This is our Government

Dan Andrews & Labor party that’s what happened

Morrison pushed for the opening of schools. As he said, 'when schools go back, everything feels normal. That's right. People relax. Other states rushed in. Vic followed to early. Plus returning arrivals were put in hotels, not Christmas island like the Chinese were forced to...

Complacent people happened. Government, health workers, cleaners etc doing their best but you have to factor in a lot of dills walking around like everything is back to normal.

Hotel guards using the wrong PPE? They got rubbers instead of rubber gloves. 😲🤔

The idiot who put cowboy rent a cops in charge of hotel quarantine security instead of the highly trained and experienced ADF that's 'WHO' happened!!! Given that they were told in April of problems with hotel quarantine, what they did was unforgivable

BLM protests have nothing to do with this. They happened all over the country. If anyone in Vic took that as an indicator that they should drop their guard, they only have themself to blame. Grown adults much?

tyrelle123 Comrade Dan allowed an illegal demonstration... Comrade Dan employed useless private security contractors that then sub contracted the work to non trained staff...etc etc etc....the common thread is... COMRADE DAN

Andrews!

PrincessPark7 - 2 active cases only ! Check out the map when you open the article !

An isolated and an adventurous moment, hasn’t helped.. twotootango

While the latest people to test positive in Vic may not have caught Covid 19 at the protests, the BLM protests are the cause of the spike. When they were allowed, the motivation by millions of Australians, to obey the restrictions, dropped. Understandably but tragically.

Complacency and selfishness. Security guards entrusted with protecting us from the virus were sleeping with quarantined travellers and spreading it to their families while 40,000 people are protesting and 10,000 are refusing testing.

Two Victorian families knowingly passed the virus on. One hotel security guy slept w/ a woman under quarantine and passed on the virus. People are a-holes. Who knew?

dutton stuffed up again, just like he did with ruby princess. is anyone suprised he's been replaced has home affairs minister?

It's not over. That's what happened. And it won't be for a long time! That's why this is called a PANDEMIC.

People stopped giving a shit, end of story.

hotel quarantine refusing testing dispersing into community

Daniel Andrews, that’s what happened.
