Its a disgrace, and should be taken to court for improper use of power SBS should stop shit stirring. You know the virus needs to be controlled before we end up with numbers equal to the UK or US. Yet you continue to stir the pot. Dan Andrews is doing an excellent job by the way!

Melbourne public housing units locked down as Victoria records 108 new coronavirus casesResidents of nine public housing estates in inner Melbourne will be required to stay in their homes due to an outbreak of coronavirus cases. Daniel Andrews is now locking people in their apartments CCP style. Any reasonable person must see how that this is out of control authoritarianism that should have no place in our society. This is absolutely absurd. Many of these residents have addictions, mental health issues or experience domestic violence. Some regularly use the safe injecting rooms. How will 5 days in lockdown help this? They are at a great risk of hardship and risk to themselves. I hope they will be individually ensuring the economic and other safety and well-being of those residents
