Frydenberg 'concerned' about Andrews govt state of emergency law | Sky News Australia

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says the Victorian government “has a lot of questions to answer” and he is concerned by Premier Daniel Andrews’ goal to extend emergency powers by a year. The powers would allow the Victorian government to extend a state of emergency in four-week blocks for up to 12 months as well as greater powers to enforce mandatory quarantine, COVID safe plans for businesses and mandatory mask-wearing.

Mr Andrews defended the plan and argued getting back to normal "won't ever be an option" if the state could not "protect what it had already achieved". “Victorians look at NSW and they ask, why not us,” Mr Frydenberg told parliament. “They look at New South Wales with lower number of cases and a lower number of deaths. “They look at the fact that in New South Wales there has been 315,000 jobs created in recent months.

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP The Federal Government have alot of questions to answer for on the profits over care in the aged care death scandal.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Is he back peddling? Too little too late mate

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP The future prime minister of Australia, well to lead the government to the next election. ScottMorrisonMP just got a Masterclass from JoshFrydenberg on how to lead ... 1) Analyse the facts, 2) Synthesise for outcome, 3) Execute a plan

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Why is ScottMorrisonMP saying nothing? Scotty the god botherer and Daniel the donkey are mates...

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Well then get ScottMorrisonMP to step in and sack DanielAndrewsMP and run the state while this pandemic is ongoing. Andrews is killing his state, literally!

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP So are we Josh. Better use federal money to try and stop him. High Court challenge perhaps?

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Is this guy for real? Sorry, stupid question. 🤷‍♀️

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP The quiet Australians are with you Josh, you are on the money.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Hey Dan if you want better figures don't be honest, just do what NSW and Gladys do and don't tell anyone

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Less talk, more action, Josh! Your people, your state depend on it!

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Pity that politicising the pandemic has now become Federal policy too. It is more important to be honest and accountable & learn from your mistakes for better public health control rather than petty political point scoring. Hard to make leaders out of some politicians.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Never shit in your own nest Treasurer.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP All talk no action

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Josh:verb - tease someone in a playful way We know you must just be having fun teasing us when you say this “stuff” Josh because comparatively your Liberals have so much incompetence, corruption, neglect and fraud to answer to it would take weeks. Good one ....Funny little guy!

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Josh and the liberals have plenty of things to answer for. Liberal party misdirection. Branch stacking, aged care, bushfire inaction ...... shockingly incompetent party. Liberal party is in crisis and are protected by slynews. Pathetic. Australians see through the spin.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP A lot of Australians are concerned about a treasurer out of depth even in good times and really scared shitless now because we know he no Idea or plan

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP PaulyMTP

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Money is more important than people’s lives?

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP I have concerns that our treasurer makes $60 billion accounting mistakes

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP NO FOR MANDATORY MASKS!!

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Scott Morrison is hopeless. Corruption runs rampant throughout every level of the Liberal Party.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Crap reporting The Australian.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Scomo said that about branch stacking...

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Josh you nasty peace of work How about doing your job and getting us out of the red

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP I hope they recover from such a strong position you have taken Federal Liberals.... How hopeless fucking nobodies

20DMH20 JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP And yet everyone is letting a lying corrupted out of control power dictatorship government speak everyday. The federation/constitution/Sovereign was not written or put in place for Politicians to ruin VICTORIANS LIVES. When is the PM going to understand that? WHEN? DO SOMETHING.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Laughable

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP A senior Chinese official enlisted the help of a top Republican fundraising official to lobby the Trump administration in 2017 to return a Chinese businessman living in the U.S. who has long been sought by Beijing, according to a court document

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Josh from the black to the red , to your job and stop being a Liberal lap dog

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP I am concerned about how JoshFrydenberg is going to get to recover when it was already in tatters before covid hit, the only think back in the black is the font colours, how has he done that? So much for being good economic managers

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP I'm concerned at the influence of News Ltd in this country. You purely exist to further your owners agenda. A toxic cancer that needs to be removed.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP oh Josh Josh Josh I know Scotty has started using you as the attack dog but really? Not nearly as many questions as the Fed gov has to answer and consistently refuses to There is an old saying ..people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones..Applies to the LNP

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP There's a lot of questions the federal government needs to answer as well.

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP hey Josh , how is your branch going, getting plenty of illegal members

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP He aught to be more concerned about his own pm

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Pathetic politicians at state and federal level. All need to be removed for what they have done to the country and its people

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP How stupid is Josh? Emergency Powers CAN be extended in 4 week increments OVER 12 months. Doesnt mean they will. It'll be 12 months at least until a mass public avaliable vaccine is ready - so of course over that period we may need to extend restrictions. Makes perfect sense.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP BREAKING NEWS: Rupert Murdoch orders Australian Treasurer to fire political bullets at Victorian Premier during deadly pandemic

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Then do something

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Dear , here are some of the legalities of the situation that might help JoshFrydenberg understand it better.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP ~73% of all deaths are in nursing homes/those receiving aged home based care. Add the figures in brackets (23 August) by all the 15 deaths from yesterday (24 August), Vic. Entire State of Emergency, or emergency for aged? This is what could happen give another 6 months-12 months.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP We're all in this together Josh, didn't you hear?

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Why can’t TimSmithMP support Victorians in the middle of a global pandemic in the middle of an outbreak. Is he and the LNP so desperate for leverage they are willing to say anything to undermine public health measures. Why does TimSmithMP hate your grandma agedcare

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Them cut of job seeker and keeper. And while your there cut it off to any state or territory that has border closure anywhere there is no outbreak.

TimSmithMP JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Josh Freidenberg says the Victorian government has a lot of questions to answer. No Josh. The federal government has a lot of questions to answer. Let's start with Aged Care. The list only begins with that.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP How is your deputy going Josh , another Criminal front bench member not taking accountability , and ScottyFromMarketing just turns away and so does the complicit media, The LNP and Murdoch have joined forces to destroy democracy

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Why is the prime minster silent ?

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Why not ya? Because NSW are not telling the truth is why

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Why aren't all Australian politicians demanding that HCQ be released to the public - so Aussies can save their own lives with HCQ combo treatments and end ALL lock-downs?

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Don’t for a second think ScoMo is not supporting Dan A’s push for an extension to his SOE powers. They’re all in on it.

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Are you listening to the people? We say no more !

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP We are watching you!

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP About time!!!

JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP Haven't they been watching Dan Andrews press conferences, he doesn't 'answer' questions!

Vic State of Emergency extension nothing but 'a power grab' from Andrews | Sky News AustraliaVictoria Opposition Leader Michael O'Brien has labelled Premier Daniel Andrews' plan to extend state of emergency powers to September 2021, a 'power grab'.\n\nMr O'Brien said the reason state of emergency legislation only allowed for a six-month stretch period was because they were 'extraordinary powers'.\n\n'Victorians are going through curfews at the moment. Most businesses are closed down,' he said. \n\n'It is extraordinary the level of intrusion and restriction we live under and no government, no politician should be able to do that indefinitely.\n\n'Daniel Andrews has had that power for six months. He now wants it for 12 months with no accountability.'\n\nThe Liberal leader said he was willing to meet with the premier to discuss a timed extension for the state's reopening but said it was more important state parliament be allowed to sit.\n\n'There's no reason why parliament should not be sitting, for example, on a monthly basis... if the premier needs a month by month extension, he can make that case to the people of Victoria and if he's not prepared to do that, why should anyone give him a blank cheque?'\n\nMr O'Brien said he had not been contacted by Mr Andrews in months.\n\n'It's quite clear, Daniel Andrews only has a plan to keep us locked down. He doesn't have a plan to get us out of lockdown,' he said.\n\n'There is no justification for a year-long extension to these state of emergency powers.'\n\n'This is a premier who thinks he knows it all when Victoria is the only state going through a second wave because of his government's hotel quarantine failure.'\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP So michaelobrienmp what's your alternate exit plan? Give us something meaningful rather than just playing dumb'd down 'opposition' politics. michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Michael the big mouth has gone silent on branch stacking under his watch michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Got a feeling this power grab is a way of avoiding being held accountable for the quarantine hotel fiasco in the future

Andrews defends plan to keep Vic in state of emergency until Sept 2021 | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has defended a plan to extend Victoria's State of Emergency powers that would not see them lifted until September 2021.\n\nFormer state premier Jeff Kennett registered his anger with Mr Andrews labelling him a 'megalomaniac'. \n\n'The Premier said he might keep the state of emergency in place until we have a vaccine - we may never have a vaccine,' he said.\n\n'Are we all going to be locked up at the whim of the premier without any checks and balances?\n\n'This is an act of a megalomaniac.'\n\nThe opposition indicated it would not support the bill meaning the premier would need four Upper-House crossbenchers to back it when it was introduced in parliament next week.\n\nThe powers would allow the Victoria government to extend a state of emergency in four-week blocks for up to 12 months as well as greater powers to enforce mandatory quarantine, COVID safe plans for businesses and mandatory mask-wearing.\n\nMr Andrews defended the plan and argued getting back to normal 'won't ever be an option' if the state could not 'protect what it had already achieved'.\n\n'Extending State of Emergency is about ensuring that we can legally make the changes our health experts need to keep us safe, he said. \n\n'This does not change how long our current lockdown will last, or increase the restrictions we face.'\n\nImage: Getty\n\n DanielAndrewsMP Wake up. It's an ambit claim. Dictator Dan knows he's not going to get 12 months. He wants block's of 3 and that's what he'll get. The X benches will tumble and think they've done a great job. Where in fact they would have given him what he wants. Dills. DanielAndrewsMP Don’t extend it.Knowing Victorians they’ll not forget this at the ballot boxes.Peoples’ mental health, education, businesses, jobs and overall economy are struggling. An extension would cause problems. But implementation and embedding of strong policies and strategies would help. DanielAndrewsMP This is how a democracy slips into a dictatorship;Andrews is not a benign politician who is primarily interested in welfare of his citizens;Andrews is an IDEOLOGUE who is only interested in furthering his political interests;His political interests lie in bringing Socialism here.

Andrews labels 12-month extension of powers 'insurance policy' | Sky News AustraliaVictoria Premier Daniel Andrews has labelled his plan to extend State of Emergency powers until September 2021 an 'insurance policy' he 'certainly' hopes he will not have to use.\n\n'These restrictions will be in place for not one day longer than they need to be,' he said.\n\n'Unless we have a legal framework that sits behind that, then we won't be able to say to a publican, you can have 50 people in your pub. \n\n'We won't be able to say to a big workplace, you can stay open, but you will need to have a series of rules, plans and processes to make sure that you're keeping your staff and the community safe.' \n\nState Opposition Leader Michael O'Brien indicated his party would not support the bill meaning the premier would need four Upper-House crossbenchers to back it when it was introduced in parliament next week.\n\nThe powers would allow the Victoria government to extend a state of emergency in four-week blocks for up to 12 months as well as greater powers to enforce mandatory quarantine, COVID safe plans for businesses and mandatory mask-wearing.\n\n'Once we are past that second wave, in order to open up - in order to start the rebuilding process - we'll still need rules in place. Otherwise, we simply wouldn't be able to open up,' Mr Andrews said.\n\n'But until we get a vaccine, there's going to need to be rules, there's going to need to be a system, and a framework, to keep us safe, and to allow us to open up.'\n\nImage: Getty DanielAndrewsMP Hoist by their own petard. 🤷‍♂️ DanielAndrewsMP ResignDanielAndrews DanielAndrewsMP What’s the point of imposing a 6-month limit (which is to control government) when the government can simply just change the legislation?
