No proportionality in response to the reality as seen below many people die unfortunately of many deadly things we simply accept without wrecking people’s business

And the crowd cheers as peoples lives are ruined

To Paul - apply for Job Keeper. We did today. My husband works in construction. He was too proud to do it when we were eligible in March so we've spent the last 5 months scrapping by and it has been hell. Do it and don't feel bad about it. Don't wait, they don't backpay it.

Media and government are solely responsible for this disgraceful fear mongering and destruction of society under false pretences of hyped cold virus. Abhorrent atrocities.....crimes against humanity.

I am very sorry for those who have lost or are losing their businesses or jobs. It shouldn't have come to this. Victoria should be in stage 2 lockdown as the maximum, not stage 4

All of this while ABC continues with its fear mongering and poor reporting of the real situation which is not even close to being the catastrophic situation they have been reporting for 6 months.

In other words, thanks Dan Andrews, you’ve fucked us.

I feel sorry for everyone who has lost their job or their business- it did not have to be this way - the economy could have continued with safety precautions if they had have been implemented right from the start!!!

And this is where the federal gov should step in. What have the federal gov actually done so far apart from a developing a half arsed app.

Victoria is being wrecked. Why? - incompetence in managing quarantine - failure of critical contact tracing - secrets from day one Shameful state Govn behaviour. But lefties think it's all good. How blind! auspol auspol2020 vicpol

funny everyone cant sees the bigger picture and asking the wrong questions..1.why is the business need to close after 10 years of exitance..2. why is the government sucking all the profits.3.why is the cost to operate high..and what need to done to fix it?

People can start business to meet market demand. There will be lots of opportunities when this is over. When you get knocked down get back up. Repeat. Stay safe, stay strong. Life is sacred 🙏🏽

Businesses will close but there is a city of 4.9 million that will still be there. Others will open up to fill the gap. That’s business , that’s life.

I cant stand this shit “i cant keep on going”. These businesses have made millions over the years and now only in few months it is like end of the world for them. Their employees get job keeper and we all know how these businesses manipulates ATO. toughen up princess.

You can blame the security guard companies for this absolute stuff up by them for this and the non compliance of those suppose to be in quarantine

That's very sad. But during a pandemic, casualties are inevitable. Lives and businesses. We should be glad there are less stupid people in Australia than in US, especially on the national leadership level.

Dantopia.

I'm shocked

Not to worry. COVIDkillerDAN still has China's Belt and Road Initiative.

This is why QLD borders are closed.

This is why Victoria should have kept up its restrictions for a few weeks more. Or as my grandfather rightly pointed out, your health, not your money, is the real measure of wealth.

This is Soo Sad😭Many more to Follow,Disturbingly So.....😢😫

Where’s the bullshit government ads for this poor guy And about a million others? Pathetic to let a business day, regardless of disease.. unless maybe a flesh eating disease

'In eye of the storm': Mental health funding welcomed as Victorians struggle with COVID-19Victoria's mental health system 'wasn't fit for purpose' heading into the coronavirus crisis, the state's Health Minister admits, as an Australian Of The Year mental health advocate warns young people in particular are 'looking down the barrel'. The government lives with mental illness and implements mental illness so to have effect bring down the government In all likelihood the pozzed psychologists the Andrews government rolls out will further damage the mental health of anyone that sees them. I'm sure this was entirely altruistic and had no political ass covering motive at all involving suicide rates going through the roof as a result of Vic lockdown rules... It's okay if thousands kill themselves, as long as we don't let the virus win! Right?
