Premier not gagged by hotel quarantine probe, inquiry judge saysBREAKING: The retired judge leading the inquiry into Victoria's bungled hotel quarantine program says there is nothing preventing the Premier and his ministers answering questions on the scheme now. She should be DEMANDING their answers... But still watch run and hide Focusing on that is a distraction we can do without. It’ll undermine the effort to get this contagion under control & give the RW political rabble oxygen to a trial by media. I’m happy to let it take it’s due course & of course every1 asked, must front the inquiry & answer Q’s.

Victoria's hotel quarantine inquiry delayed by stage four lockdownThe inquiry into Victoria's bungled hotel quarantine program that could have led to 'every case' of coronavirus in the state's second wave has been delayed and will not release its findings until November We expect Dan to play politics but for a judge to do so is beyond disgusting. She ever here of video meetings? No wonder Dan handpicked her Now we know why Dan handpicked her. A disgrace. There is no such thing as a second wave, and in Aus. our minor ripple over all = 1 week of flu spread over 6 months, do you have no sense of proportion.

CovidKaren is angry about it! Where are these so called people? where are the hotspots? why is this not being published? Be transparent? Huge numbers because of uselessly slow contact tracing combined with 800 infected people not staying home. Victoria's contact tracing like Fire Brigade responding to Fire Emergencies 1 week late. By time they arrive, Fire has spread all over neighbourhood

Woman charged with manslaughter of Ann Marie SmithA woman is arrested and charged with manslaughter over the death of Adelaide disability care recipient Ann Marie Smith, whose death was previously declared a major crime. This is a good step however there is also a whole systematic abuse occurring here. Not just one individual They need to throw the book at this so called woman, this case is horrific Oh God, this story is just so horrible. I can think of few things worse than how this woman was taken advantage of and how she suffered and died.
