Victoria looking ‘more like North Korea’ everyday | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says Victoria is “looking more like North Korea every day”. \n\nIt comes as reports have emerged Victorian Police requested the use of military drones from the Australian Defence Force, in a bid to catch people flouting COVID-19 restrictions.\n\nThe move was reportedly done leading up to the busy Easter Weekend period, however the request was rejected. \n\nMr Jones said the request was done to “identify illegal public gatherings so police officers could be sent to dish out fines”. \n\nImage: Getty what a stupid thing to say So. Victorians should eat their dogs then. They are a bourgeois indulgence in north Korea. It has just been decreed that they must not be kept but eaten. Or. Do you think you are overstating your case that Victoria is like North Korea? Well if we'd listened to Alan Jones, the country would be ravaged by virus by now and a complete failing mess like the USA is.

PM acknowledges joint state, federal responsibility for aged care sector | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has downplayed claims of tension between the Victorian and federal governments, insisting his only focus is on the “collective attack against this virus”. \n\nOn Wednesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison appeared to shift the blame for Victoria’s troubled aged care sector to the state government, later clarifying at a press conference there is joint federal and state responsibility for the sector.\n\n“It’s the overlapping of public health responsibilities which sits with states and federal aged care responsibilities which sit with the federal government, so yes it is a complex set of responsibility and they are shared,” Mr Morrison said. \n\nWhen asked about the remark, Mr Andrews said he was “not interested” in attempting to interpret the Prime Minister’s comments. \n\nThe Premier moved on to outline of the 2,050 active coronavirus cases in the aged care system, only five were linked to state-run facilities. \n\n“I’m not seeking to make any other point than the facts, and they are the facts and I’ve consistently presented them that way … that is the appropriate thing to do,” he said. \n\nMeanwhile Victoria Police revealed only 42 state residents had been fined for breaching the state’s lockdown laws. \n\nThe state has seen a continued downward trend in its daily caseload, recording 216 new cases and 16 fatalities in the past 24 hours. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia DanielAndrewsMP Leave the virus, get you policies in order regarding nursing homes and let everyone else get back to normal DanielAndrewsMP Ye okay, just cause you said so Dan.
