Victorians deserve answers about "serious failures with deadly consequences" in the state's hotel quarantine system, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has argued.
Mr Frydenberg, who is the Federal Government's most senior Victorian MP, said his home state was entitled to more information about what went wrong. "Victorians know the 'what', but they don't know the 'how' and the 'why' when it comes to the quarantine failures," he said. "And what we're dealing with here is hundreds of new cases in Victoria every day, 97 to 98 per cent of new cases in Australia are coming from Victoria alone."announced the state had recorded 466 new coronavirus cases, with 12 deaths in the last 24 hoursBreaches in hotel quarantine have been blamed for contributing to the state's coronavirus outbreak, which has seen Melbourne placed under curfew and hundreds of thousands of people told not to go to work.
Why give him airtime on this? An inquiry is doing this. Shouldn’t he be doing his OWN job, given that unemployment is huge and growing?
Will JoshFrydenberg issue an apology for his bungled witch hunt that was based on Herald Sun lies?
'Herding cats'?
Australians say we need an answer about Frydenberg's faulty abacus .
They have the answers, bullying and intimidating returned Ausies treating security staff in an appalling manner. How terrible are they. They should all be named and shamed. They are responsible for all this, not the security guards or the premier. Shame on them all.

Ruby princess?
Simple. It was from security companies that donate equally to liberal and labor parties.
When is he going to provide them? Quarantine is fed. responsibility, Andrews chose from list of contractors provided by feds. Contracts made it clear contractors had to provide training and PPE. Why did Josh's preferred contractors let Victoria down? auspol
We already know. They contracted out to a private company and NOT to the proper government authorities. Like all things PRIVATISED it FAILED. How is that Josh?
We also need full disclosure as to Federal govt involvement in the Ruby Princess debacle and why Scott Morrison has sort to prevent federal public servants from disclosing what they know.
“As the quarantine hotel enquiry goes on it is becoming increasingly obvious that the Federal govt played a decisive role in the security firm appointments. This is why Murdoch's minions are ramping up their attacks on Andrews. It diverts attention from Morrison & Dutton.”
What a hide Frydenberg has to say something like that when he belongs to a party that has no accountability for anything.
Frydenberg has the answers. He just doesn't like them as they implicate his government.
Nine Entertainment, Newscorp and Stokes are behind the LNP to undermine ALP., Hotel Quarantine is a red herring. DanielAndrewsMP got it right, otherwise this.
FFS,the contractor is whom you should prosecute,not Dan Andrews,& charged with the non compliance & breaches,or is he a liberal supporter?Andrews wasn't the one who'd awarded him the contract, why should he take the blame, Josh leave your politics aside for now,time to save lives
Spoiled his budget yet again
Magpie1954nBird Okay, everyone else wants answers to Ruby Princess, Sports Rorts, Palladin, Duttons Au Pairs, Reefgate, Grassgate, watergate....
If we are on about accountability what about you answering for aged care and the casualisation of the workforce on the altar of your sick neoliberal policies!
We want lots of answers from LNP too Josh
DUTTON when questioned about failures of ABF & mistakes re Ruby Princess HUNT when questioned about failures of Aged Care & neglect at St Basils ANDREWS when questioned about failures of Hotel Quarantine JoshFrydenberg = hypocrite IStandWithDan✌️😎 ThisisNotJournalism auspol
Sigh. The dude who had sex with the quarantined woman would be a good start. Then let's have a look at the Fed vetted Security co who legally subcontracted from a phone app. Get real!
Australians also need answers on RubyPrincess Robodebt Watergate Grassgate Clovergate....
et tu Frydenberg?
Frydenberg needs to take over as PM.
Exactly Josh we need answers from Dan. But about the Government now - giving mates contracts leaving small harding working tech companies to suffer - face the truth.
JoshFrydenberg ScottMorrisonMP Y don’t u tell the ppl of Australia Y U were supporting fat Clive to force the WA borders opened? Any plans for having an inquiry to get that investigated Have you investigated money on Clive’s hydroxychloroquine You bunch of crooks
Who was the company, who set up the contract, just 1 thought though JoshFrydenberg is not the C'wth responsible for Bio Security of the C'wth? Though the ScottMorrisonMP Gov, was happy for people to just go home? The C'wth owns responsibility?
All Australians need to know how you lot let this thing in2 the country in the first place. When we all knew a couple of months b4 the pandemic hit the world, u had the time to close international borders. It’s you, ScottMorrisonMP and the government of urs let this happened.
His government didn't answer questions about the Ruby princess so it is a bit rich
We need Dan Andrews to resign.
Re: 'Frydenberg says Victorians need answers about hotel quarantine failures'. Frydenberg clearly needs help to maintain currency of facts & avoid politicising an extremely difficult situation. Add 'Ruby Princess' to your list of examples, NOW
What about the belt Road failure aswell what is the federal government done about that treasonous ACT I'll tell you what they've done nothing zero zilch
The answer: we all accept neoliberal Thatcher/Reagan economics - In Trump's Republican US unemployed and elderly die as cheaply as possible - Joking Josh is losing his bottle because he must tell families of the dead it's not personal, is just business.
Frydenburg is on the offensive against Labor. Trust him to bring COVID-19 down into the political gutter. ABC are increasingly the LNP political arm these days!! Why isn’t he chasing Dutton etc over Ruby Princess Because it suits his arrogance is my guess! auspol
I would like to know where in the friendship tree,does the CEO of the security company fit with Daniel Andrews.
Ah, so that's what genuine leadership looks like! Thanks for your contribution JoshFrydenberg. Now, considering the Ruby Princess debacle, how you would have done things better?
please refer to section 69 who Victorians should ask these questions
We need answers on the scapegoating and politicising of the pandemic.
If Frydenberg wants to speed up the inquiry process, then perhaps he could let us know which of the security companies working at Victorian hotels were contracted by Home Affairs.
Like here’s an answer I’d like..... minister, quarantine is a federal responsibility, why hasn’t the federal government taken any responsibility to this point?
But nothing about private aged care.
That's fine, but at the same time, let's get some answers go the money failures of the Morrison Government, to date
Having got on this federal list myself in past it is supposed to be a honour earned and worked on to keep to avoid tenders & reduce bureaucracy. As such the vic govt relied on it to implement Dan Andrew’s plan vs the federal plan ie self quarantine at home. Really perspective
This coming from the government that allowed Australia to burn while their leader went on holiday
A bit rich Josh... criticising VIC when fed govt. forced the their hand to relax restrictions earlier than was safe and pressuring borders to open. Not happy!
In all fairness it reads to me like a response to a journalist’s question - but even so, not helpful or fair to give the other side a kicking in the middle of an ongoing crisis. Frydenberg should know better.
Any Member of the LNP who are insisting on answers re Vic quarantine, must argue equally that their own govt MUST answer questions re Ruby Princess. Can’t have it both ways...Put up or Shut Up. Imagine if Dan Andrews said he wasn’t going to front up. LiberalAus
WTF. It’s up to scottyfrommarketing to provide answers on border control, quarantine, aged care, notional bushfire funding, arts funding rorts and more and journalists to investigate and report. Why are the Feds determined to undermine health efforts, wait until this is over

Yet another example of the Morrison government manipulating the media narrative. It's how Morrison manages to deflect blame for his blunders during the pandemic and exploit events to his political advantage. Of course a complicit media helps... auspol

Yep. Answers to why flights were still leaving Melb after stage 4 enforced on people, shutdown of small businesses , heavy penalties and arrests made for people walking in the park. Why media enjoy shaming those who question the rules that have double standards.
Think he should check with AG about quarantine powers and with Peter D about responsibility. He might also remind Pete 'no doctors' like the Surgeon General of ABF, used to be interested in pandemics.
Understatement of the Year. Tell us something we didn't already know. Stop repeating the bleeding obvious and take action.
Yes we need answers why his government gave this security company the tender in the first place.
So irritating. Karma is coming around JoshFrydenberg
You .JoshFrydenberg have guided the economy to the cliff pre 🔥 & COVID__19 perhaps focus on your job atm instead of undermining fellow Australians & Premiers you devisive little bean counter
Accountability for doing nothing in Feb March, ignored elimination, virus didn’t destroy economy your government’s incompetency did. Accountability rubbish hypocrisy.
Try entire government failures!!
This is what happens when you recruit based on identity and not merit.
Fraud n turd is an Hungarian goose
JoshFrydenberg very poor form. Stay in Canberra, Victorians don’t want you back. Try and be useful, perhaps practice your times tables. Or by a new calculator. Or try being human. Try being honest. Try being Australian, because you are not a Victorian. IStandWithDan
Who is responsible for border protection and quarantine, again? Hmm, let me check...
Thanks for giving the shill’s comments air time . There’s already an investigation going on, which he knows full well, and so do you.
Better Still Tell us all Josh who is going to pay for all this money you are give out
What about the failure of the federal government’s support for age care. Firstly, this is not the time for politicising of the virus response anywhere in Australia. Secondly, those in glass houses should not throw stones.
JoshFrydenberg - apparently the security company was shortlisted by one ScottMorrisonMP.
Josh wants to take tame journos on a tour of his glasshouse.
No we do not we just want to get through this awful time with Dan informing us and having our best interest at heart i am so tired from it all I wish the liberals would all shut up and be supportive what a nasty bunch the media and Liberals are..
Regime which refuses to provide answers demands others do so. Stinking hypocrites. Oz politics in crisis. Journalists collective strike, and demand access and candour!
Frydenberg needs to concentrate on his recession and doubling National debt. LNPfraud
No we want answer to the stuff up with the Ruby Princess, that Scott Morrison didn't want to talk about.
Wait for the outcome of the HQ inquiry. BTW, The Fed Gov could do with a few inquiries of its own. Dan has pledged to take ultimate responsibility, haven’t heard that kind of commitment from any Feds. Seems to me, Feds are all about obfuscation, distraction & denial.
We need answer on elderly care and national standards for all health care workers
You know, I'm not using the term 'Aunty' any more. An affectionate nickname simply is not deserved of a shit-rag NewsCorpse Murdoch wannabe clone.

Just another question for the LNP - shame about that second rate NBN Service you lumbered us all with just to save money. How’s that working out for businesses, home schooling and workers during a pandemic and lockdowns?
Isn't he just the treasurer ?
Jesus, we’ve had some rubbish State governments but the DanielAndrewsMP state government is the worst.
The China loving corrupt traitor DanielAndrewsMP is responsible for every single death and suicide from this virus. He has put all Victorians at risk and he needs to be locked up
Could it by any chance be related to the urgency from the federal government to open the economy too soon? Surely the liberal evangelical warriors could not be wrong?
HEAR HEAR!!! Vic state gov MUST BE HELD accountable!!!
Why is the ABC reporting this shit?

Is it true, there’s a video of a high level Chinese official and American Politian (democrat) discussing how the beginning of the COVID-19 is going to be released?
Why hasn’t Morrison said anything!
Australians deserve answers about the Ruby Princess and why Dutton refuses to front the inquiry. Quarantine and aged care is the responsibility of the fed govt.
Ruby Princess
Here's a thought ABC, a different LNP mouthpiece each day saying something to smear a Labor mp just isn't news. We've heard it already. The buck should stop with the Federal govt so perhaps you should pursue what they do rather than the shiny distractions they put out daily.
We’d like answers about a number of things which I think would be just as embarrassing to the feds. Dan has provided an enquiry which will expose all. How about Morrison offers the same over aged care, Newmarsh and everything to do with Ruby Princess, without restriction? No hope
We need answers about mr king muppet telling everyone to get out from under their doonas but we don’t get them, or Gladys leaving the borders open too long or ruby princess. If I hear one more thing about the hotel quarantine
Job description should've included: no sex with those in quarantine...
Frydenberg is just seeking political points. No wonder the Australian community has lost respect for politicians.
At least Dan hasn’t run off to Hawaii. 🤷🏻♀️
Cough, cough......aged care......cough, cough.
Australia needs answers about the Ruby Princess debacle. JoshFrydenberg
Victorians say Treasurer Frydenberg needs to stop pretending COVID-19 is the only reason we're in recession
I think Australians need answers about JoshFrydenberg
Well why doesn't he answer them then. Surely quarantine is a federal responsibility?
Absolutely. All Victorians are now suffering & some dying. Principally caused by this hotel quarantine stuff up. As a Victorian I am knicked off. Where's accountability? Andrews, the buck stops with you. Now man up.
Victorians I speak to think Dan’s doing fine. So there’s that. Stop undermining compliance.
Treasure J.F, If Victorians have to answer for hotel quarantine it’s fine. Why you don’t ask Morrison why he as a leader failed to protect all Australians and our economy, why Morrison did not sack Dutton for failing to do his job to protect our borders. All blames is on fed. gov
Hypocrite ! Ask your boss ScottyfromMarketing.
The LNP need to answer questions about the privatisation of aged care.

Considering ScottMorrisonMP was the one who refused to close our borders a few weeks earlier at the beginning of the pandemic (costing us $200 billion and counting), perhaps Frydenberg could consider the failures of his own government before pointing the finger at others!
Good yo see Josh out his true colours- not quite a team player and supporting the Victorian government 😕
As has been reported, it’s a federal contract. Not state. But you already knew that didn’t you ABC? Now you’re just an LNP repeater station
Well Ask the security companies who signed contracts to deliver security

Well don’t give the state any money then hypocrite. Grow up you fools and let’s work the problem and not create other problems like suicide.
Josh stop playing politics or your poor decisions will be subject to that as well
Seriously Frydenburg, just like the grubby journalists you are going down the blame trail at a time like this. Could you not have waited until we are all back up and running before pointing your grubby fingers in anyone’s direction.
Yes especially as it is the federal governments fault
And also your 'Key points' explain nothing.
We want answers from the Federal Goverment Ministers first! It is a very long list! 😒😒😒
How about starting with why letting planes come in from Wuhan in Jan?
Couldn't help themselves. We would like to think they would think of the country first, but when an opportunity to gonad check an opponent, Maquis of Queensbury is suspended as a matter of convenience. Plenty of time to skewer Andrews later, just for now think of the country.
I just want to know how the Great Barrier Reef folks are spending our $500 million and when will Josh do another dance in parliament? And why does his government contract MSS for security operations?
Says the man who said “We are back in the black ... next year”.
Fuck fraudenburg, glad he’s not in charge of Victoria can’t even add up.
The ScottMorrisonMP government is morally corrupt. ScottMorrisonMP is spineless, sitting in the background orchestrating the white-ant attack on DanielAndrewsMP and co. How obvious can he get? Appalling.
So what?
The federal gov selected the security firms for tender. Then Vic gov got to choose from that list. The actual failures was people sharing lighters with security guards from companies on that list. Frydenburg’s dribble is meaningless.
How to distract from the deaths in ages care due to Covid-19.
Then they should ask Dutton.
Wow, the liberals are using every propaganda tool at their disposal to distract for their colossal incompetence and corruption. the security guards were hired under a federal government tender.
He really is a silly man
Looks like Mr Morrison provided the tenders for hotel quarantine 🤔 why don’t you investigate those claims ? While you’re at it what’s Dutton hiding ? RubyPrincess
The Victorian Hotel quarintine disaster is a direct result of the Lefts equality of outcome instead of the Rights equality of opportunity.
Precisely, why hasn't the Federal Govt been doing it's job? Quarantine is, after all, a Federal reponsibility.
Australians need answers about its Federal govt cover-ups. Maybe it’s a case of “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” JoshFrydenberg ScottMorrisonMP auspol
No they don’t. Just like no one got answers about the Ruby Princess. Deal with the situation - stop the political point scoring.
Not impressed that JoshFrydenberg has now joined the orchestrated Liberal/Murdoch political attacks on DanielAndrewsMP that are compromising public health response measures. I call on these attacks to stop springst COVID__19
JoshFrydenberg and people need answers about RubyPrincess.
Ruby Princess debacle comes to mind.
Yes we need answers about when his government will act so employees arent paid wages they can barely survive on, when un safe induction practices which lead to this will be made illegal. When workers will be paid penalty rates for working outside of normal hours.
Frydenberg should stop playing politics and remember this is a global pandemic. The virus is not political and a united front is needed to beat it not the continuing undermining of a Premier who is doing a remarkable job by the LNP-Murdoch Alliance. IStandWithDan auspol
Do you think Freidenberg did a closed-jaw-looking-grim pose in a photoshoot and then supplied the photo to go with this article? Not sure whether LNP think attacking DanAndrews will get them. It certainly isn't winning my vote.

Keep DanielAndrews under pressure. He’s a monumental failure who surrounds himself not with competency but with mates that agree with him. How Mikakos ever got a position is beyond comprehension. She’s not fit to serve. Whole administration is a disgrace.
How about answers on how the gov doubled the deficit in 6 years (nearly tripled now from covid) cut 300 billion from services and delivered absolutely nothing but a dogsbreakfast (selfish self promotion 😜) NBN worth 10% of what it cost to build. Economic disaster merchants
He’s right.
Josh Josh Josh. You’re from Victoria, it’s true, but (i) you’re part of the FEDERAL government, not the state; and (ii) the closest your portfolio gets to public health is funding it. You’re doing OK at that (I guess), but that’ll do.
Hey JoshFrydenberg how about PeterDutton_MP & ScottMorrisonMP answer questions and let Fed public servants answer questions about RubyPrincess Don’t hold a torch to another when you lot aren’t willing to be truly accountable FedICAC

Abc reporting this tripe.
Bullshit...we dont need answers about this any more than we need answers about the Ruby Princess right now just let the inquiries do their job and tell Josh to go do something fucking useful.

Frydenberg says ... Another TheirABC way of stating their position. i.e. 'We don't think so. It's what he says.' As usual, the appearance of reporting is there but, as with much of what you do, appearances can be deceiving. DefundTheABC
Actually as a Victorian, I would have hoped for more support from the federal treasurer JoshFrydenberg and federal Health minister GregHuntMP for their Premier DanielAndrewsMP. Undermining him is making Victoria's recovery even harder. Lift your game IStandWithDan

The Andrews government had one job to do, quarantine international arrivals but FAILED miserably. Only the idiots with hatred of anything conservative ie Morrison are blind to the fact. Had it not been for dickhead Dans incompetence Australia would be basically rid of covid.

Victorians need to stay locked up; permanently!!
Is this right time to play your dirty politics? So tired of these nasty politicians
Many other things Is like answers for from this liberal government. When will someone hold them accountable!
Fed up Dan
Once you have answers what has been accomplished and will anything be done?
How about, just for a change, someone at the ABC aask Fraudenberg about one of the many scandals that his govt has covered up & brushed off. Accountability is too one sided on the ABC, it's expected of the ALP but never, ever the LNP. Shame on you ABC! This is not journalism.
And NSW and Australia need answers about the Ruby Princess failure.
So maybe Morrison might be asked if the FG set the terms of the contract for hotel security and provided a list of approved security companies?
Josh Frydenberg says there needs be to accountability. The Flog and his party should practice what he preaches... all we get is corruption, lies and deceit.
Otherwise known as diversion and scapegoating. Someone might want to ask why there were not enough PPEs for the staff to begin with.
Massive failure by DanielAndrewsMP. 😠🤬
And JoshFrydenberg Victorians need answers about aged care home failures. That's a Federal Government responsibility, right?
Careful what you ask for MrFrydenburg i think theres a storm brewing down south thats gunna slap the federal giverment into the next stratosphere.
Australia needs to know how joshfrydenberg made such a mess of the economy, before Covid-19 arrived on our shores. Imagine if we weren't already in debt for nearly $700bn 🤔
My cousin (international traveller Sth Am. Cruise Ship) left VIC Hotel after Quarantined & unchecked. Flew home BNE Covid Positive. (Obviously infected because husband went positive from arrival Aust & was still in hospital Melb.. ) after 2 weeks she allowed fly home BNE ?
And Australians want answers to the Ruby Princess failures
Australians also need answers on RubyPrincess. WHO was on board and WHY were they allowed to disembark without Covid testing ?
And Mr Frydenberg we need answers about Aged Care neglect, $6.00 food budget, cut back in nursing staff, robodebt, sports rorts, $10,000,000 from corona budget etc etc etc.
Frydenberg, lets talk about your Government failures. Letting all the passengers aboard the Ruby Princess to come ashore and disperse throughout the our Country spreading the virus. We are still waiting for answers.
Stop stirring Josh, ask Scott, he knows (and you know)
The Andrews’ lemmings response is always ‘look over there’ and not at the fact that VIC is the only State in Australia in such a mess. No other State stuffed-up the hotel quarantine that has been the cause of what is happening and now all of Aust suffering the consequences.
I love how Josh thinks the public have just turned a blind eye to all the lib failings & corruption.
When is the ABC going to grow a set of balls and questions Dan Andrews on his handling of the entire Covid19 situation from day one ABC you are so obvious with your politics by how you report PLEASE do your job as a national news broadcaster you bloody leftie losers
Also cooperation with Ruby Princess inquiry, oh no wait that's the liberals refusing to co-operate
Oh poor Josh. He's losing it. Stressing out because his carefully scripted economic forecast of two weeks ago has just evaporated. Taking his frustration out on Premier Andrews. It doesn't help the situation if we start fighting one another. United we stand, divided we fall.
Maybe he can start with why MSS Security and Wilson Security are on Fed Govt Approved Purchasing Panel for Security Services then. If it's such a concern to him
Apparently, they are to be obtained from the Minister of Home Affairs, Josh.
I want answers about the recommendations issued by the Morrison government in relation to which security firms to hire.
Josh as someone from your electorate what we need is for you and Tim Smith to be useful members of society that back the plan by the government to get us through the next 6 weeks so we start to see a light at the end of the tunnel
I’d rather have answers on the RubyPrincess
The Absolute Audacity of Frydenberg, so Morrison has sent Josh out to do the dirty work on Andrews. What a Pathetic, obvious Agenda.
shut it Josh .....those who live in glass houses !
And Australia wants answers on sports rorts, fake fire fund, Hawaii trip, Scomo’s $3.1 million dollar travel bill, Ruby Princess.....
Well at least he’s taken out the middle man/“journalist”.
I think he just had a stroke right before giving such a statement
JoshFrydenberg Actually, Josh, I am a Victorian and what I need is for Daniel Andrews to continue leading our state through this crisis without people like yourself trying to score political points.
Put the failures behind us, look to a brighter future in clearing out this disease.
I’d actually like to know what happened to the other party who either asked for sex from the guard or says yes when asked? They are just as culpable but we never hear anything about them.
Look in the mirror, feds.
We need answers on Ruby Princess and Sports Rort?
Agree. If I were a federal department with quarantine in my portfolio & had delegated that responsibility to the states during a pandemic, I’d want daily briefings on everything. Precisely what oversight did the federal gov admin over once the decision to delegate was made?
.JoshFrydenberg - We also need answers about the Ruby Princess...
But not the Ruby princess?
Did Frydenburg also call for answers about Angus Taylors Water, Robodebt, Stuart Roberts, the Ruby Princess? If not, his call is blatant political bastardry.
Ask Dutton - he is responsible for border control and quarantine
No we don't. We want straight talk from our Premier about how we are doing against the current outbreak. And that's what we're getting, day after day. IStandWithDan .
Frydenberg needs to stop dirty politics over the pandemic. What they did to W.A. for hard border is inhumane? We are protected only because of our hard border policy by MarkMcGowanMP
Stop vomiting Murdochian bile, Aunty. You are not meant to be propaganda for the govt.
The federal government, under the Constitution, is responsible for international quarantine. So, like the Ruby Princess, this is a federal government failure.
The Angry Potato 😂.
These Should Never Have Happen, it costs money to find out ' Why '.
It’s out. Every person who has breached restrictions has contributed. Now to slow it and hopefully eradicate it.
So Josh Frydenberg is joining with the crap. He can get lost. There’s many questions that LiarFromTheShire & his lot have never answered. RubyPrincess comes to mind. AuspolSoCorrupt
Have the ABC not been watching Dan's pressers? He's answered that question daily. Wait until the investigation has been completed.
Got any ideas re the ecomony per chance?
Ruby 👏 princess 👏
How the Covid has come to spread in the Nursing Homes in Victoria. Aged care being a federal responsibility.
I thought there was a Judicial enquiry instigated by the Victorian Govt. in progress at the moment looking into the quarantine failures.
Last time I checked, hotels were strictly for accommodation purposes for travellers - NOT as a sole use for medical quarantining. Do these dipshits have a side racket going on with the hotel association or something?
JoshFrydenberg is spot on. Vic economy stuffed for years; depression, suicides & DV rising; curfews; kids at home; COVIDVIC19 daily cases on par with Africa; elderly dying. And still IStandWithDan morons say it’s not DanielAndrewsMP fault dansfault
We need answers for the ruby princess!
JoshFrydenberg why are you politicising this NOW! There is a time and a place. Don't be a Scotty lackey. Help your constituents.
Yes. Outsourcing & poor oversight led to failures which may cost Aust over $15 billion & counting. theage Each person ought to be responsible for themselves; failure in security within the quarantine system contributed to massive current costs.
Australians need answers about the Ruby Princess . PM and Dutton refuse what about you Josh.
Perhaps JoshFrydenberg should ask PeterDutton_MP - he's the man responsible for quarantine.
How does Frydenberg talk with both his feet in his mouth must be out of his other orifice?
absolutely agree. And since the constitution says that the Commonwealth is responsible for quarantine... 🤔
Australia needs answers to the RubyPrincess debacle but they're not going to get them with the government blocking witnesses from testifying. Frydenberg's call for Victorians is hypocrisy writ large
Proof positive Morrison Government is co-ordinating killDan narrative run by News Corpse.
You lot are at fault fridenberg...yes you lot...we want answers...the truth ...on your ruby princess cover up
Could Josh first explain why Dutton, who runs the department with bio security and intelligence expertise, decided to ‘wash his hands’ of any involvement in one of the greatest threats to Australian security? Ruby Princess and Hotels could well have been avoided.
Victorians day frydenberg should fk right off
I think he has a lot more questions to answer than IStandWithDan There is an enquiry into the hotel quarantine. Is frydenberg attempting the ”look over there” technique?
But any noted as grandiose level failures for which his government are directly responsible, we should only expect silence?
Here we go...
Josh Freidenberg, quarantine is a federal matter.
Yes they do but right now they need government support to get the pandemic under control!!! STOP BLAMING AND GET ON WITH GOVERNING FROM CANBERRA
Who pays for quarantine - its a constitutional responsibility Mr Failed Treasurer
What he as a Victorian should want is a unified front & no undermining of the very clear health message so we can get through this lockdown - he is clearly not living our reality!!!!
He better ask his lot then.
... and Aged Care the responsibility of the Commonwealth govt.
Dan Andrews has instigated an independent inquiry which may well reveal damaging facts; this should be commended. Permissible or not, he's wise not to pre-empt details. The MSM would jump on these like a pack of hyenas and continue to report selectively and with bias.
Victorians need a bit of peace and quiet from the rabble in the back seats to listen to the instructions from the Premier and CHO. That includes you
At times like this aren’t we supposed to be one big team working together to get through this, regardless of who did what and why? Frydenbergs lunchtime effort was nothing more than a party political broadcast on behalf of the Liberal Party. Pathetic for mind 🤨
Especially as hotel quarantine is a Commonwealth responsibility. Was Andrews selecting from a list of Federally approved security firms? All will be revealed in the enquiry. But keep slinging mud and playing the blame game Josh. It's super helpful. 🤡
Accountability starts at home
Joshie, tell us about Serco and Bupa. How many contracts do these leeches get from the federal government? How well do they train security staff and how do they recruit them? Tell us all about it JoshFrydenberg. IStandWithDan
FO Frydenberg
it is the failure of LNP gov to be stingy with aged care They outsourced it to for profit corps When pandemic hit they r asking more millions plus PPE Shame on them They should bear all the cost NOT begging bowls to gov
LNP Choose Covid Clive Pandemic Palmer over the health of Australians. Once again you're turning a disaster political, congratulations 👏 LNP thanks for your support🖕
Frydenburg should stick to his own brief!!!
They need help. Not blame.
Puts on serious face. Stares intently off camera. Ignores documentation demonstrating security firm sources were Commonwealth Government supplied. ... What a waste of space this Fraudenberg is. ABC, your journalistic efforts poor.
Sure, lets just deal with the Sports Rorts, the Bushfires, the Ruby Princess and so on and so on and so on first eh?
Easy it was disaster dan. resignDanAndrews
If only there was some sort of official, impartial, enquiry that could be carried out 🤔
Careful what you wish for Frydenberg - you guys talk nice but all the failures seam to lead to you feds. COVID19Victoria COVID19Aus auspol
And Dutton says NSW doesn’t need answers about cruise ship failures. These blokes have to get on the same page. They are such a disorganised team.
Morrison has done the parrot eg: Trump Chinese flu= Morrison Victoria flu
All of Australia wants answers to this. Why federal accountability for quarantine is being dodged and the state responsible for carrying out the task assigned, using approved security companies for federal tender (due to the haste required to set in motion) is carrying the blame
When Peter FullPotato Dutton does over the RubyPrincess
Maybe Frydenberg should talk about his govt lack of stimulus compared to others ?
All the usual 💧💧💧🤡🤡🤡’s on Twitter
Frankly, we're in more need of answers to the Federal gov't shirking its responsibilities in aged care homes and also the tender process that saw their preferred contractors ending up with the hotel security contracts for Melbourne hotels.
Pull your head in Joshy
SHUT YOUR HYPOCRITICAL MOUTHS ON VICTORIA? LIBERALS ARE SOURCE OF PANDEMIC SPREAD. RUBY PRINCESS FEDERAL BORDER BIO SECURITY BUNGLE. AGED CARE WHERE MANY VICTORIAN CASES CAME FROM IS JURISDICTION OF FEDERAL GOVT. NO STAFF STRATEGY OR HEALTH STRATEGY PROVISIONS FOR AGED CARE
He looks like he needs a good poo.
Answer is simple Dan Andrews!
We also want answers on RubyPrincess and aged care JoshFrydenberg
Yeah we still haven’t got answers about Ruby Princess and myrad other pressing issues. Get back in line pal.
Frydenburg should be called for full disclosure of how the Regulator failed Aged Care and why his govt let this happen in a pandemic.
Is that the failure of outsourcing work to the private sector? Which started in the 80s under Reagan and Thatcher.
How about Josh and the Border Force goons answer questions about Ruby Princess and why the Biloela family are still being held in captivity at an exaggerated expense to the country. A single year of detention funding could support them for the rest of their lives in Australia
'Frydenburg says Victoria needs answers.' Well old son Australia is waiting on a lot from your government - I don't have to ask the questions Australia knows!
What about new south Wales needing answers about the Ruby debacle?
Yes we want to know why the security firm was on the government recommended list? We also want to know what happened with the ruby princess? We want an explanation of the privitisation of Aged Care in the light of the RC.
Maybe Frydenberg could look a little further afield, and wonder at who got it completely wrong in the first place. It’s all very well attacking one State Premier but what about the NSW Premier who just stood back and let the Federal Government take over....hmmmmm?
JoshFrydenberg Victoria also needs answers about aged care which is a federal govt responsibility. Where is accountability? And Australia needs answers about the Ruby Princess but ScottMorrisonMP and PeterDutton_MP don’t seem to think so. Responsibility? Accountability?
NSW needs answers about the Ruby Princess Liberal cover up
So what did you do about it Josh? Failures at all levels, you don’t escape criticism if Dan Andrews has the blowtorch on him
But Dutton and the Ruby Princess deaths are ok...
We need answers from Dutton and federal government officials about the Ruby Princess debacle but Morrison is refusing to let people give answers. We need answers about why the federal government didn't act sooner re Coronavirus and aged care.
Yes indeed Victorians need answers JoshFrydenberg
Also need answers about jobs in 2021...what projects are going to kick start economy ..
About how a randy security guard couldn’t keep it in his pants? There’s not too much more to it.
What about AGED CARE? JoshFrydenberg
Just a small ask from Australia: give it a rest. Blame game can wait, we beg you. Victoria needs a hug (so does all of Aus now, exhausted over the Dan-loathing). Oh by the way ... the short answer. People are human, Vic chose to give jobs to out-of-work private contractors.
The question we want answered: Who the fuck allowed the RubyPrincess to dock?
JoshFrydenberg demands answers after deflecting questions regarding the reasoning for upcoming jobseeker and keeper cuts. Niceee no worries
A song to offer some love and support to Victoria with a shout out to Dan the Man, Dim Tim and the Murdoch press.
Gee thanks Josh.
OUTRAGEOUS that ausgov are stirring the pot, creating distrust so people like Chef Pete Evans has MORE ammo, making this harder for ALL Victorians who just want this to be OVER! We KNOW it’s nothing to do with hotel quarantine and ALL to do with people believing MISINFORMATION
Frydenberg wanted a baby boom and the security guards in Melbourne were just trying to get ahead of the game. Pro-active procreation.
Borders, fed responsibility, where are the answers for ruby princess? Quarantine, fed responsibility, where are answers on why it was shirked to states? Aged care, fed responsibility, answers on those failures? Answers from mss security? Apparently only Dan has to answer
Hahaha, that’s gold coming from a supporter of private enterprise. In case you missed it Josh, a Private security firm was contracted to do the work. A company that has many multi million dollar contracts with the federal government!
Which Victorians? The ones wearing masks, staying home, testing & backing their Premier, doing the right thing so it'll soon be over... ...or those doing everything they can to undermine & second guess the Premier with a load of blame game shit that does not matter right now?
Frydenberg can piss off
When the government wants something disappear, the Australian media including will take that as permission to make us forget. This is what's happening with the RubyPrincess - we can't let them get away with it. covid19australia COVID19
Frydenberg playing 'pin the economy on the public servant'
Since there were various Fed. Govt. contracts about hotel quarantines, is Josh Frydenberg asking his fellow Federal Ministers to provide answers? JustAsking
We do need answers. But is now the time to do it? No, he’s identified an issue - working on fixing it and getting the job done. Then questions can be asked. Until the Josh Support your Premier
Why are you following the lnp and Murdoch press in the attacks on DanielAndrews ? We need a media that asks the qs we want answers to. If there was a prob, surely it is with the company that was paid to do the job. Like the pink batts. External, non government owned businesses.
(((( Frydenberg))))
Yes, they do. And since Quarantine is a federal responsibility, and Vic was using the same security as the feds, I'm waiting for RubyDutton to give some answers. Short of telling the security guards not to root the travelers, I'm not sure what else DanielAndrewsMP could do.
Sure, but can we have some answers for the Ruby Princess mess first?
No, we need Josh to just f**k right off....!!
No author?
I could alphabetise the questions we need answered from the Federal Libs, but I don't want to, because 'A' is for 'Angus Taylor', and 'I' is definitely not for 'ICAC'.
I'll fix it for you: 'Victorians need to answer for their recklessness'
I would like to know why the company providing the service was recommended by the Federal Governemnt.
Coming from the man that made a 60 billion accounting error as the treasurer
The last thing we need at the moment is interventionists with political agendas!
Stage 5 Restrictions Now ! Forced castration for all Victorians to get rid of the Selfish/Idiot gene from this country. Forced euthenasia too much? Maybe Stage 6.
I don’t think Joshy is one to throw sticks🤷♂️
Yup; find out why ScottMorrisonMP ‘s useless coalition allowed this failure
Like all Australians need answers about Ruby Princess failures JoshFrydenberg
We also need answers about 1. Ruby princess 2. Sports Rorts 3. Palladin 4. Au Pairs. 5. what happened to 250 mill for the arts. 6. Start whenever you are ready, F-berg.
Here's the Liberal office petty cash intern joining in the pile on when his mob haven't answered a fkn question since the election.
Answers only needed when we restart quarantining
