Mr Morrison said he was profoundly disappointed in the state government’s decision to extend Melbourne’s lockdown measures, despite metropolitan COVID-19 cases falling below a rolling 14-day average of five cases.Source:News Corp Australia
“This is a profound disappointment,” Mr Morrison said in a joint statement with Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Health Minister Greg Hunt. The Prime Minister said the continued lockdown suggested the state government was not confident its health system was capable of suppressing transmission of the virus.
“Victoria’s public health systems are either up to the task of dealing with future outbreaks or they are not. The decision to keep businesses closed suggests that there is still not sufficient confidence within the government that their systems can support reopening.
mackaysuzie we have not seen this kind of aggressive leadership in a PM since John Howard , what does it take for Scott Morrison to listen and then offer solutions instead of aggressive political posturing lockdownmelbourne ScoMo auspol
DanLucasOz1 Captain Incapable having a go at someone being proactive? He should focus on getting Aussies the safest vaccines & organising proper quarantine facilities
Maybe you could just get that ICAC organised that they've been putting off for over a year
The PM’s contributions. Aged Care. Jobkeeper Ltd. Open up in April. Ruby Princess. CovidStuffed App. Travel Blurble. No one is listening.
And it was just a pause. We have a real leader in Victoria who won’t be bullied
Time to open up
It would be helpful if the Federal Government took a stance on State Borders.
Now that we hear the results of the 1000 tests taken recently have come back negative Andrews can now go ahead with lifting many of his bans. The big question is, will he?
No criticism of liberal government restrictions in Tasmania and SA? We can see through this politicisation of a national health crisis. If only Scomo had tried to lead instead of, well, nothing.
Useless prick whines his push to prematurely catastrophically reopen was ignored. Yet doesn't take responsibility for how shit that decision would have been. Good good...
ScottyFromMarketing does nothing but snipe from the sidelines. NotALeaderJustALiberal
Scott Morrison should shut his face and stop politicizing.
Interesting I want to have a look at what's happening in Europe right now and how the lockdown restrictions are even tougher than what happened in Victoria what do you think the motivation is behind the liberal party's drive to reopen is it corporate profits
I'm profoundly disappointed in our PM ScottMorrisonMP. His failure to put forward a plan for Aged Care, his acceptance of Corrupt conduct from his Minsters, his lack of integrity. I think he should be calling out NSW, S.A. & TAS to open their borders to Victoria to support him.
Like he’s not in on it 🙄
Those using Political positions for self gain with ego narcissistic psychopath behaviour will pay consequences in God's perfect plan DanielAndrews AnnastaciaPalaszczuk ScottMorrison
Mmmmm... his disappointment completes me
Think Scotty is losing the plot. We voted him in we can vote him out.
Have a look around the globe you idiots. Do you want what Europe is facing here in Oz?
Stick with the chicken coops and inflatables mate. auspol
Obviously votes from dumb people more important than their lives.
So what you're saying is 'Dan why didn't you let people out despite a concerning cluster developing?' Cmon ScottyFromMarketing you've gotta be on some real strong shit man.
He’s not the only one
What was profoundly disappointing was the mess this smug prick made of Private Aged Care, and the shameful politicking. Maybe instead of building Chicken coops he could have provided some support
I’m profoundly disappointed Morrison hasn’t acted like a true Prime Minister should. Dan Andrews is keeping Victoria safe while Morrison is busy lining his pockets. Who is the real villain here?
PM of 'Howstralia' but not Victoria? What is he distracting us from now? 'Let is rip!'
ScottMorrisonMP .. Not really Prime Minister of Australia ... more Prime Minister of NSW
Sums up my feelings towards the federal government - profoundly disappointed
Aww has Scott’s plan to kill Australians been thwarted by a responsible premier. Poor little fella. Maybe he can stage another chook pen or Santa decoration or even get his vic libs to stage another lockdown rally causing the state to go even further into lockdown.
Blah blah blah - get in here and do something about it ScottMorrisonMP !!! Enough of the tut tut tuts
Morrison should stand down. He has done nothing but try to undermine Victoria Experts agree that Victoria has achieved one of the best results in the world, and is now the gold standard. Morrison can't even deal with aged care and border control
ScottMorrisonMP please stop this sniping & bashing we r all having a tough time, we don't need this behaviour. We will open up when it's safe 2 do so. U have also said this & it's not safe right now especially when we don't have test results back. So stop attacking us Victorians
NotALeaderJustALiberal I’m profoundly disappointed in paying $30m for a $3m block of land. I’m profoundly disappointed that 50 people per week are sexually assaulted in aged care facilities and you do nothing. I’m profoundly disappointed that Australia’s debt will be $1trillion
NotALeaderJustALiberal
When is the LNP Govt going to apologise for the majority of deaths in Victoria they are responsible for? ie Over 600 deaths in the Private Aged Care System.
The Daggy-Dad routine doesn't work on Dan Andrews, Scotty.
Wait is Scott Morrison the prime minister? Funny I don't think I've seen any leadership in the past year let alone during this pandemic. I guess everything is a state issues. I can't wait to see who Dan Andrews appoints into his federal cabinet.
Oh, really SmugMo? I suspect the entire country is disappointed. It’s hardly the time to attack Government Premiers doing a good job? Lazy ScottyTheBully
According to the Vic CHO and the Vic Premier, Victoria's circumstances are unique.. so, evidently no one is in a position to advise them! They reckon Vic contact tracing is also one of the best in the world. Their denial of blatant facts proves they are in survival mode.
No-one cares. His is a party political announcement, nothing to do with the public health needs of Victorians. ALP = People over profit. DanMustStay
hes a liberalnotaleader
they clearly discussed this at National Cabinet on Friday Why is he raising this objection? Does he have other data or modelling? Or is it petty politics? The PMs real problem is that the Sydney economy has slumped as much as Melbourne
Well Scotty, I was profoundly disappointed when you became PM, and yet, here we are 🤷🏻♂️ ScottyFromMarketing
One single day with the average below 5 and the economy sycophants are all over it. Given the numbers have just started going back up, tomorrow we might be back above it
Andrews concentration is only on Covid-19 numbers but not the Victorians. He buried all Victorians already.
He's not disappointed relishes a chance to attack Dan. People smuggler who sent unannounced travelers into Victoria while fatalities in Nursing home he controls (sort of) mount up,
MurdochRoyalCommission FederalICAC
ScottMorrisonMP Your fascination with the 24 hour news cycle to score political points and absolutely no legitimate plan for COVID19Aus, ClimateChange and EnergyTransition or FederalICAC is what keeps me awake at night. The_NewLiberals
It was also profoundly disappointing when you buggared off to Hawaii and allowed the Ruby Princess to dock ScottMorrisonMP
Hey ScottMorrisonMP before you start sledging others, you might want to look into your own incompetent Govt. You are responsible with your incompetent aged care minister for the death of our elderly by incompetent standards in federal facilities. agedcarescandal
Oh was he at work today?
ScoMo needs to take decisive action against Andrews or he will be punished in the polls
Well, Morrison can GFH, rinse and repeat
Boohoo SmugMo
Scomo has forgotten about us Victorians, our state is a failure, we cannot even see family, job security is gone, cannot shop, streets are empty, it's a depressing place to live. DanMustGo victorialockdown
You'll be voted out soon enough, don't worry, Scotty.
Feck off Scott Morrison and News Ltd media.
I plead with you Prime Minister to please get us out of the clutches of this megalomaniac. He is destroying us mentally. Some of us don’t have many years left and I want and need to see my Daughter and Grandchildren. Please do something I’m begging you.
I'm profoundly disappointed in Scott Morrison.
When did Scott Morrison become a doctor. I would not listen to a man that talks about a bus, which is a figment of his imagination.
He’s waiting a day. Ffs use your brain scomo. Maybe pray covid 19 away you absolute drop kick
Murdoch Propaganda no conspiracy theories to be found. ScottyFromMarketing
He should remember that Aged Care is a federal responsibility and that is where most deaths occurred. Seeing what was happening overseas, Aged Care residents and their families deserved better from the PM before it got a hold. Perhaps he should do some self reflection.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned citizens to stay at home and reduce all unnecessary contact and travel
Maybe we should go with the PMs original idea put to national cabinet. HERD IMMUNITY springst Auspol CovidVic ScottMorrisonMP DanielAndrewsMP
this virus is gonna be around forever just like the influenza and everything else. apparently the premiers have more power over a prime minister
Worst prime minister this country has ever had.
ScottyFromMarketing suffering from RelevanceDeficitSyndrome
Next time we should protect the folks who need it, pay them to stay at home and let the 99.9 of us get on with our lives!
ScottMorrisonMP how about you set up the federal ICAC so we can get you & your criminal syndicate of a corporation known as the Libs/Nats behind bars. Honestly, if you can set up JobKeeper & JobSeeker in a few weeks this would be a piece of cake, stop hiding your corruption
Better late than never I guess.
Well said PM. Dan must go
The PrimeMinisterOfSydney abandoned Victorian’s months ago, he’s done nothing but undermine the Premier’s health message. He failed Aged Care, he had no National pandemic response, he couldn’t even provide adequate PPE , he spent 70 mill on a dud app and went on holiday again.
Cos he wants poor people dead.
In the words of the great philosopher Dwayne Johnson, 'Know your role and shut your god damn mouth'.
Funny that. Most of us are profoundly disappointed in Morrison, Dutton and Hunt.
I don't want to hear from that wanker until he's addressed the shambles he's made of aged care and the incessant corruption in the LNP.
We have a prime minister? Well I'll be!
I have never been very political but I am incensed at the sniping game you ScottMorrisonMP, GregHuntMP and JoshFrydenberg have played whilst the people of Victoria have suffered through the covid crisis. None of you have been helpful! Greg Hunt will be last on my next vote!!
Morrison is absolutely loving this. Withdraws support from an entire state and gets his Murdoch cronies to continually shift the blame. He's done 8 days of work this year and now everyone loves him for doing sweet FA! Win Win
We already know Morrison does not give a shit about people's health.
For gods sake, can;t you all see Dan is hanging out for sSomeone to buy Dan a flipping Cartier watch. Then he will let you all out
Remember everyone: State with Liberal/National premier closes borders = good State with Labor premier closes borders = bad
gee wiz if good old scotty had have done his job at the outset instead of ignoring it hiding from it and passing responsibility on maybe he would have a reason to be listened to ... instead he didnt as as such should keep his bs to himself
If VIC is doing so well and is ready to lift restrictions and open up, why does every single state and territory still has its borders closed to VIC 🤷♀️
They are playing goodcopbadcop. 😑
Morrison.... Do something!!!.. Do something... less talk and more action
He is looking overseas at what is happening or just up his orifice ?
WTF no plan for aged care where the LiberalAus hold the responsibility for care for providers what happened missing in action 100's of dead aged people or is this a saving the only thing LiberalAus, more dead aged people
Well said ScUmo. Those are Exactly The sentiments That The Majority of Australian voters feel when they think about you & your LNP rorting mates. You are all a Total disaster & a stain on Australia's Democracy. History will declare your government Corrupt & Incompetent.
The jobkeeper has to go. Then the support of IStandWithDan will fall and the polls will look differently. Everything will be opened up. If not then the VIC government should pay for everything.
One day Victorians will have a PM who actually cares about us as opposed to using us to hurt Labor political enemies. I look forward to that day.
Onya Scotty. We should have had you running the show down here. You did so well with COVIDSafe and aged care, didn't you? trumpwannabe
It’s so disappointing. We need to open our economy. Sole traders like myself are hanging on and we are not even given a glimpse of hope. We are patronized by a leader that has no idea how hard we work. Melbourne the fashion capital with great cafes & restaurants has been stifled.
our incompetent work shy alcoholic Kiwi doesn't seem to notice the shit that is going on in Europe. Why is he so intent on wanting Victorians dead?
If only we had a covid safe app so we could open up sooner ScottMorrisonMP
What actual power over the States PM of Australia has?
But Scumo looks like he's a got a few problems closer to home.... AuspolSoCorrupt
Playing politics won’t cure Covid. Stay the course Dan
More - these words mean nothing...offer alternative and allow people to choose ...do something
BK6785 Wow. “Profoundly disappointed” .... us that the best you can do ScottMorrisonMP ....? Victorians are quickly losing the will to live ..
How hypocritical to criticise DanielAndrewsMP when ScottMorrisonMP has locked up its citizens, with no apparent plan to let us exit the country, unless you are TonyAbbott GeorgePell or a sports team of course.
Will this useless PM of ours ever shut the f..k up, he keeps on and on about the Victorian LABOR leader, he is fixated on him. This is just another diversion from all the other bad situations around us, aged care for one thing, many others to 'lash out' and posture about. Idiot.
In Australia, a local council can be stood down for incompetence or mismanagement by a State Government. Why can't an incompetent, mismanaged State Government be stood down by our Federal government? DictatorDan has destroyed Victoria. auspol ScottMorrisonMP
Morrison, part time PM.
Mind your own federal business Scotty.
I’m profoundly disappointed the LiberalAus is mired in corrupt rort after corrupt rort and scottyfrommarketing just spins excuses for it.
So glad I missed that one! Watched a video - old movie from local library, borrowed with others as prep for the rainy weather! 😅
Coming from a guy who decided to sip Pina Coladas while half his country burned. His judgement on decision making doesn't mean much to Australians. ScottMorrisonMP
Finally something from the PM !
Time for a royal commission into Victoria’s handling of the virus
Scott dave Melbourne please!!!!!!!
If we'd listened to Scomo and opened up when he said we'd have thousands more deaths now. Just saying.
My profound disappointment is in ScottMorrisonMP on so many levels. He is not fit to lead.
I’m profoundly disappointed in ScottyFromMarketing
What did PM do when we 1st had notice of Covid-19 from OS ,we live on a large island ,bugger all and when he and hia LNP/ABF acted to late,Ruby Princess OS flights PASSENGERS not tested on arrival, and PM as the merit to. Lash out at Andrew ,give me a break
Lash out at WA
Now why don't you look into your own state and give CorruptGladys a serve. Bet you don't.
Anyone lashes out at him to opening international boarders?
Support Dan!!!
Keep your nose out of our business and we, the people of Victoria, will reopen when fully safe to do so.
Stop the VIC funding ASAP
Has Scott Morrison ever taken responsibility for any of his own actions. A real Christian would have confessed his sins by now!
If a 3rd wave hits Vic Morrison will take no responsibility he will run and hide like Colbeck has done.
Time for Federal intervention, A royal commission into Andrews and his corrupt cronies, 817 dead untold Suicide deaths total destruction of the economy and small business, and mental anguish to the Victorian public
The quality of leadership Scott Morrison has shown here is profoundly disappointing.
SloMo playing politics again. He should Stick with the puzzles and plan his next holiday to Hawaii.
Prime Muppet bitch slaps from a very covid safe distance Be very very careful in a deep Elma Fudd voice. DAN may just SLAP back & down very weary hard
Well ScoMo grow some Fucken balls & pull these pricks into line. Halt all Federal funding to Victoria now . Enough of my tax money wasted on that Prick Andrews. Victorians want to stand with him. Pay your own Fucken way
Throw Dan to jail DanMustGo !
When you receive a call from VicGovDHHS asking to confirm a negative Covid result when they issued the document you know we’re in a world of trouble...date of this issue? Only 4 days ago on the 22nd of October
Scomo, instead of lashing out do something about it. I know you have your hands full with your new chickens, but C'mon.
He doesn’t like Vic borders closed & same about Qld but zero about Tasmania why I wonder ‼️
About time he stops playing nice with Andrews. This failure of a state government must open up or resign en masse and let someone competent take over.
ScottMorrisonMP is just plain trash !
We’ve been bitterly disappointed in the LNP Government for over 7 years and ScottMorrisonMP sniping at COVID19Vic to open up is putting the economy before people again. Thank goodness for DanielAndrewsMP
How dare you pretend you care about us and our struggling businesses when your government slashed our JobKeeper and JobSeeker payments. GTFO
Time for federal intervention and a Royal commission to the corrupt Andrews and his cronies
Tuff shit Scuntmo
If ScottMorrisonMP had his way it would be a race with Trump on who could fill all the hospitals first.
This is beyond a joke! We are being held hostage by an inept government and health department. Dan is a complete dictator and must be stopped. Businesses and lives are suffering immensely due to their incompetence!!!
I feel Scomo has been missing in action in relation to Victorians.
What a tool, just because he relies on Vic to help his budget. How about some support not dragging us through the mud. Why won't he release national cabinet meeting notes as requested by the HQ inquiry.
Scumo, why don’t you concentrate on ICAC and sack the minister who paid $30m for a plot of land worth $3m owned by a liberal party donor
So are 6 million Victorians minus the Dan Fans 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤬
scomomustgo
Does he lash out at premiers that refuse to open their borders?
The states has to much power
Shut it ScoMo. You don't live in Victoria therefore you have no idea
That’s because he is an evil black hat
