Mr Ihle, in his summation on Monday, said evidence to the inquiry from DHHS officer Murray Smith had shown cases were reviewed daily according to one criterion: “Whether the person had completed the required 14-day period of quarantine.”
The Health Department was relying on authorised officers – drawn from fields as diverse as park rangers, forestry officers and council parking officers – to conduct the daily checks.Credit:Another hotel quarantine guest was Hugh de Kretser, executive director of the Human Rights Law Centre, who was detained in June at Carlton's Rydges on Swanston hotel.
"One officer seemed surprised by the question," Mr de Kretser said. "Another told me that the nurses do the review, presumably referring to the daily nurse welfare check, and another told me that detention 'wasn't really reviewed'." Nine workers in the scheme have tested positive for COVID-19, the state's Justice Department confirmed. The department took over the program from DHHS.
Yet under this act we have all been detained in our homes. Illegally as we were never issued with individual notices and our situation individually were not reviewed daily again Dan’s gang. Failed to abide by the law
My point each of the 20,000 travellers in Vics quarantine hotels between March was handed a detention notice at the start of their compulsory two-week isolation The Public Health and Wellbeing Act requires that any person detained have their detention reviewed daily
DHHS, seriously the most corrupt unaccountable govt department, that imprisoned and killed my disabled nephew.. Killing elderly, with all the appropriate covid excuses... A department that separates runaway kids from desperate families.. This health department?
What a disgrace, Andrews and his cohorts have failed their community on many levels. They should be facing criminal charges.
Does he say “I dunno” in different languages?
Is The Age intending to feast on the summing up day videos for the Vic Hotel Inquiry for the next two months? :(
And wait for the class action lawsuit for these return travellers to begin
Lawless
Oh good lord it continues...

Restrictions on movement based on chief health officer's advice: Andrews | Sky News AustraliaThe decision to uphold Melbourne’s five kilometre movement radius is based on the advice of the chief health officer, according to Premier Daniel Andrews. \n\nHe was asked on Tuesday about comments made by Professor Catherine Bennett – the Chair of Epidemiology at Deakin University – in which she she said there was no epidemiological reason for the restriction on movement.\n\n“With the greatest of respect to Catherine Bennett, she's not the chief health officer,” Mr Andrews responded. \n\n“She can have views, lots of views.\n\n“Movement means virus. It's as simple as that. It's about reducing movement. That's what stay at home orders are all about.” \n DanielAndrewsMP What, and then when Brett comes out and says it wasn’t him, then it was the Police, oh no wait, it was just Dan all along. Anyone with some money behind them feel like taking him to court over this one? Oh and showing the evidence for wearing a mask too! DanielAndrewsMP DanielAndrewsMP Victorians are never going to be let out from their 5km prison because it will lead to millions protesting and Dan Andrews prefers his Victorians to be submissive.

Daniel Andrews puts 'politics first and second' with health running a distant third | Sky News AustraliaJim’s Mowing founder Jim Penman says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews puts politics first, politics second and health a very distant third.\n\nHis comments come after Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announcement on Sunday 127,000 workers across the state will return to work, including lawnmowers.\n\nMr Penman said it’s good his company and workers can return to work, “but it’s outrageous they were off for eight weeks”.\n\n “What on earth is the reason, there was no danger to health in any of our guys,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\n“What makes it even more stupid is that dog salons with multiple workers can work, and our people can’t work, even though they’re by themselves.\n\n“The premier is politics first, politics second, and health a very distant third.\n\n“The outrage in the people I‘ve spoken to is extraordinary.\n\n“A lot of people are angry about this.”\n DanielAndrewsMP Meanwhile Sukkar ruined the Vic Libs’ credibility because of corrupt branch-stacking making O’Brien unelectable because his party is corrupt. Sukkar kept his job so the problem still exists. If Sukkar had been sacked the Vic Libs could have looked like they were above board. DanielAndrewsMP Jim should stick to mowing lawns.

'Not appropriate' to read former health minister's statement: Andrews | Sky News AustraliaDaniel Andrews says he didn’t think it was appropriate to read Jenny Mikakos’ statement.\n\n“I can be very clear with you that I have not read her statement, I have not read her statement,” Mr Andrews said.\n\n“I didn’t think it was appropriate.” \n\nMr Andrews also said he had confidence in the former health minister, despite his statement to the hotel inquiry proving contrary.\n\n'I had confidence in her. Let’s be clear about this, though,' he said. \n\n'I have gone to these matters in some detail. I don’t particularly want to be labouring the point. But the minister made a decision that she could not sit in the Cabinet.\n\n'Any minister who comes to that conclusion has no choice but to tender their resignation. And that is what has happened. That’s a matter for her.'\n DanielAndrewsMP JennyMikakos so JennyMikakos is just a scapegoat, other Labor mp's, your time will come when this crooked bastard DanielAndrewsMP sells you out DanielAndrewsMP JennyMikakos Then they claim ignorance. Cherry picking ahole that needs to go. Yesterday! DanielAndrewsMP JennyMikakos If he didn’t take her phone call and didn’t read her statement how’d he know she resigned

Care-in-the-home plan sparks warning of US-style health modelFederal Health Minister Greg Hunt's plan to let private patients access hospital treatments at home under their health insurance has opened up a fierce debate over how much control funds should have over care. Dana_Adele Why is this a 'warning'. What is a warning is how Australia's economy is COPYING the USA path. We have become a SERVICE based economy same as the USA. The US has a 27 trillion dollar debt. Australia is fast approaching 1 trillion in 2021/2022. Like the US we will NEVER Repay it. Dana_Adele OMG , what the hell Have you not seen the number that died there and in the UK ? Best choose a better model. 🤚😟😎🙏🙏😷😷😷✌✌
