Agriculture Minister David Littleproud says state premiers need to focus on easing restrictions for regional Australians in order to keep supply chains, animal and human welfare maintained.
“The practical application at a local level, particularly in regional or remote areas where there hasn’t been the cases, can be looked at in isolation,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “It’s important that we just use some common sense here, we work with the states. “We’re just saying can it be retrofitted to look in a pragmatic and practical way to look after regional rural Australia in a different way than what you are to metropolitan areas.

There is ‘rank abuse’ of the democratic process in Australia: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones said the 75 year anniversary of the end of World War Two is interesting in light of the rank abuse of the democratic process at work in Australia.\n\n“Think of the freedoms being denied us,” Mr Jones said.\n\n“Think of the dictatorial behaviour of governments.\n\n“Think of the anarchy in the streets.”\n\nImage: Getty The rank abuse of the democratic process by this mob You could call Papa Murdoch a rank abuse of democracy.

ADF personnel 'were on standby to help Vic's botched hotel quarantine program' | Sky News AustraliaA timeline of Defence Department communications shows more than 100 army personnel were on standby to help Victoria's troubled hotel quarantine program, from day one. \n\nPremier Daniel Andrews continues to insist ADF help was never offered, saying “let’s be very clear about this, it has been consistently put to me that me or others have consistently said no to help, that’s simply wrong”. \n\nThe Premier’s claim is backed by Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp who said “I can confirm that the ADF were involved in the initial planning of the hotel quarantine program… during these discussions I did not seek nor did representatives of the ADF offer assistance as part of the program”. \n\nTheir claims contradict Defence Minister Linda Reynolds, who said the ADF made multiple offers for assistance to Victoria but the offers were turned down for months. \n\nPremier Andrews told an inquiry the botched hotel program was to blame for the state’s deadly second virus wave. \n Andrews👎👎👎 Resign Dan Andrews AND Andrew Crisp. theage 3AW693 7NewsMelbourne 9NewsMelb 10NewsFirstMelb auspol newscomauHQ theheraldsun No way Dan could be lying.

Victoria Premier insists ADF help wasn't offered | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews continues to insist his government did not receive any offer of ADF support by the federal government to assist with hotel quarantine, contradicting claims from the federal Defence Minister.\n\nLinda Reynolds said ADF officials asked whether Victorian authorities required assistance with its mandatory quarantine system on 'multiple occasions' but no request for support was subsequently received from Victoria at the time.\n\nState Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp backed the Premier's claim in a statement that said he 'did not seek nor did representatives of the ADF offer assistance as part of the quarantine program'.\n\nAt least 100 defence force personnel were on standby to assist Victoria with its hotel quarantine program but were not deployed, a parliamentary inquiry heard.\n\nMore details revealed the decision to hire private security guards did not come from Jobs Minister Martin Pakula's office, who claimed his department acted in a concierge-type role. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n DanielAndrewsMP INRI CRISTO O ÚLTIMO !!
