OPINION: Let's run through some emotions, because this is Victoria today: angry, frustrated, confused, disappointed, and suspicious, writes 3AWNeilMitchell. 9News

And why? The targets were met. People did the right thing despite the pain. And having been promised likely relief they got none.So six million people are locked away because of a handful.The decision to delay reopening is an admission the crucial contact tracing system is not good enough.

Any epidemiologist will tell you their "science" is a mixture of mathematics, medicine and psychology.That means explaining decisions properly, which Dan Andrews will not do.He didn't provide data or modelling to support it. If he did need to extend this lockdown, even if it was because of his own government's ineptitude, he should have explained why in detail and provided some genuine hope we are headed the right way.Business after business has contacted me this afternoon saying they will now ignore all restrictions.These are good honest hard-working people who have had enough of the trickery and the incompetence.

Business has long lost patience with the government, some of the unions are similar, and even the churches are rebelling.Today's events have opened a door to a dangerous area.

3AWNeilMitchell Even when Vic does open up with limited No’s it won’t help it will be worse. Small business owners will not be able to pay wages & what money do people have to spend in Vic from 6 months of disastrous living conditions which weren’t their fault but that of the Labor Party.

3AWNeilMitchell An absurdity. Well and truly should have started a managed, phased opening with such low Covid 19 numbers, as NSW did months ago.

3AWNeilMitchell Watching from Tas it amazes me. Amazes me that Victoria hasn’t taken to the streets more than already seen. Something not right guys good luck CovidVic

3AWNeilMitchell I'm really pissed off!!! Pissed off at MSM pathetic attempts to purportedly speak for ALL Victorians. You don't, you speak for a very small selfish minority.

3AWNeilMitchell

3AWNeilMitchell Isn’t it bloody obvious DanielAndrewsMP is unfit to govern Victoria? Either the VicGovernor intervenes or his party removes him.

3AWNeilMitchell Not sure what to say....Why CAN'T the premier and his advisors look at the current norm that we have to leave with? There's no way you can defeat it!!!!! Comparing COVID with Bush fire completely illogical, the ignorance on commonsense is at the highest level.

3AWNeilMitchell It’s the selfish vic’s out again

3AWNeilMitchell Well written article.

3AWNeilMitchell BS

3AWNeilMitchell Who the hell is Neil Mitchell?

3AWNeilMitchell Idiots

3AWNeilMitchell Ch9 absolutely revelling in it.

3AWNeilMitchell Let's just take a quick look back. Aged Care in the Northern Suburbs. Do we really want to have an emegense of huge cost to life again? A couple of days to ensure we are clear, I can take.

3AWNeilMitchell He is a criminal. How can this go on. Dashed hopes. No plan... lies upon lies

3AWNeilMitchell I would add, a society that is built on a me' ism mentality. Fractured and disjointed!!

3AWNeilMitchell Rubbish

3AWNeilMitchell The whole world thinks DanielAndrewsMP is corrupt. Just feedback from what some friends overseas have said

3AWNeilMitchell And those feelings are all aimed at our media! ThisIsNotJournalism

3AWNeilMitchell That's NO EXCUSE for assaulting police horses. And then hiding behind the crowd, like some gutless cunt.

3AWNeilMitchell Its 2 bloody days . OMG Leave Victoria alone

3AWNeilMitchell If the protests were this afternoon, it would have been massive. The organisers missed the opportunity having it on Friday.

3AWNeilMitchell Being drummed up by the likes of YOUR media with 7/NC & SKY!!

3AWNeilMitchell None of the above actually

'Not safe' to significantly relax rules in Melbourne yet, Daniel Andrews saysVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews delays announcing the next steps in Melbourne's re-opening, saying it is 'not safe' to significantly ease restrictions yet. It will never be safe as long as the same communities that continue to cause the issue can play victim and get away with it without any consequence. Much safer for Andrews to punish all of Melbourne. He had a meeting with 'islamic leaders ' yesterday , did he get it through to them that they need to isolate when they are infected or a close contact, because it seems to be an on going issue. Has he had to deal with other 'religious' leaders in regard to this virus ? Don’t blame DanielAndrewsMP ... blame the parents for sending their sick kid to school... 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Dan refuses to lift restrictions due to northern suburbs outbreakCoronavirus restrictions will not ease in Melbourne from Sunday, despite expectations Premier Daniel Andrews would begin to ease limitations including on retail and hospitality. What a joke. Under 5 average and still not open I think the only person needing testing is Dan and it’s not a Covid 19 test . Where is the scientific advise He is making it up . Where is Sutton He doesn’t want to be part of this disaster decision.. Dan will drag this lockdown to after the Melbourne Cup .. I’m not sure how this narrative sticks? The rule is that you isolate until you get your result. Did that suddenly change? Are people out and about while waiting for results now? Spare me... kicking the can down the road. Absolute grub and a liar.
