press conference, Daniel Andrews was asked if he went out the night before the stage three restrictions returned, and the scene became somewhat awkward.
“Did you head out the night before the lockdown came in? What did you do to celebrate ?,” the journalist asked.“I was at home with my family,” he said.“Yes. I was at home with my family,” he told her. Appearing confused by the question, Mr Andrews added, “Sorry, you want to ask me about the night of my birthday? I was at home having a very nice family dinner.
“Let me indicate to you when that occurred, Alex. That occurred after I had done a two-and-a-half- hour cabinet meeting over Zoom and I think my plate might have been a bit cold but we’re all doing all sorts of things but I was pleased to be at home with my parents - sorry, with my wife and my kids. Happy? Fine? Very good.
“Are there any other questions? Now that I’ve got all flustered? No? Very good. I’m going home now to them as well. Thanks.”
All travelers from New Zealand who arrived in Melbourne, are they New Zealand resident or are they from Europe and using New Zealand to get to Australia?
Left visibly flustered? By a personal question? The guy only offered him a banana
I’m not a fan but i think that there are more important questions to be asked... what is she or anyone going to gain from this answer?
Most reporters ask dumb questions.
All the Murdoch media can do is publish Gotcha headlines WHEN THEIR LAME ATTEMPT FAILED. Disgusting tactics adopted towards someone doing their best to help US ALL. Stop spreading hate alexwhitelive I can’t wait for the wider public to get a taste for stopfundinghate
It’s high time people understand and appreciate the sacrifices of the ruling politicians in the last 6 months of unprecedented times. They have done their best devoting almost all of their time to Public’s welfare and safety and such idiotic questions undermine the values.
Man is exhausted. Give the personal and “gotcha” questions a rest.
All Australians need to think carefully , Why so many people died from COVID-19? Is it a absolutely Bio weapon? Who made the Virus? Who dropped the Virus? Who killed half million people?
How do TV week journalists get a pass for govt press conferences? I think we were all left flustered after that display of intelligence 🤨
IStandWithDan IStandWithDan IStandWithDan IStandWithDan
You may like him or not but that type of question shouldn’t be asked. I don’t know what the intention was but it was not right. I hope the journalist knows that the majority of the people are disgusted by that question
BK6785 Rip this tool in pieces, you’re lucky I wasn’t asking the question.
Failed gotcha moment reported by News anyway. Their angle ? That the Premier got flustered after a to and fro with a dickhead reporter. 🙄 This is not journalism.
When you think your news reporting cant get worse, you prove us wrong and go that bit further...
So what if he hasn’t got time to spend with his family, he is preventing us from spending time with ours. Plus, that’s his job. While he was sculling red wine over dinner, others were throwing food out at restaurants and in the Flemington Towers they were eating food from a bag.
Top question because so many people have missed and special birthdays because of VictorianLabor s handling of this, in my family alone we have missed 2 40th 1 70th & a 1st & 10th thats the milestone ones not to count the other 4 so far that are normal as and a wedding
Was the question “what are you having for dinner tonight? sausage rolls?”
bill_dobell He was lying that’s why.
Scumfrom Murdoch press
Truth Chan Andrews is what I ask! These people commenting here are dilution always You have to take responsibility in this life or the next Responsibility Daniel You will experience it Tell The Real Story Of Your Truth freedom
What absolute gutter reporting
Far out was alexwhitelive just hoping that he broke the rules or something
Murdoch media 😑
More ScumMedia keep doing what your doing DanielAndrewsMP you're doing brilliant.
would be great at interviews if reporters had to show their faces and identify themselves, then the public can make up their own minds instead of biased opinions.
Great effort this 🤦♂️
He must be getting quite exhausted. I’d like to see all the naysayers do better......
Are you planning on asking Scott Morrison where he keeps vanishing to?
Why isn’t Alex’s last name in the article? Why is hiding it? If they are a professional then they should be named.
Dickheadry
For God’s sake he is allowed to celebrate his birthday! I hope it was a break from everything especially the journalists
Question is fair enough but she shouldn't of asked again because can't accept the answer
It is not acceptable to be snide and audacious with the Premier of any state.
Not going to name and shame them ?
The question was ridiculous
Im not a fan of DA and I believe his incompetence is why Victoria is in the state it is , but will never agree with journalists or anybody else for that matter asking personal questions that don’t relate to what the press conference was about
That question was out of line she may as well have said So Mr Premier rather than ask a relevant question let me ask...did you do a number 2 today? Was it hard and firm or soft & sloppy..your stool that is your poo?
There are a lot of very stupid reporters out there
'are you some kind of idiot?'-was that it?
Another attempt by a cafe latte-quaffing journo snob to be condescending and it bombed big time.
Miles Guo: We have 2000 documents to prove that the coronavirus is bio weapon made by CCP! theWhistleblowerMovement
Hope it was a nice sit down meal.
I hope you question Scommo as intensely as you’re questioning Dan. I’m not even from Melbourne but can see this is such a targeted attack by the media. Who is owned by - Murdoch? Absolute parasite!
What a stupid question it was too
Not a fan of the Premier and I don’t think he has led well during this crisis but that question (and follow up) was uncalled for....
Poorly written article putting your bday in brackets in the question. It was a full on press conference for an hour about serious matters and he’s meant to assume she’s talking about three days earlier. I didn’t! I was watching and recorded it to show her stupidity to my friends
Fkn idiot journalist. If the citizens did the right thing to start with then perhaps he wouldn't have to be trying to fix their fuckup and could enjoy some more time with his family knowing the fuckhead citizens were actually displaying intelligence. Yes, I'm Victorian.
It’s his Birthday damn it. Let him get on the beers 🍻
Nah, he’s just thinking WTF is wrong with these dumbo’s aka journalists? IStandWithDan
I assume he didn’t answer the question Like any other questions that he doesn’t approve of to answer?
Hey DanielAndrewsMP just wondering what your watching on TV and is that at home all the time
She originally said what did you do to celebrate in last couple of hours before lockdown came in? Pretty much the dumbest question I’ve ever heard! I didn’t blame him getting flustered especially after he’s told Vics to stay home. She then said oh no, not last night, your bday.
Busted! He totally went out for a cheeky wine!! 😝😆
How about all the people who do not have families to spend their birthdays with, because of the ludicrous social distancing and lockdown measures? All the elderly, who will die alone? But we mustn’t pry as to Birthday Boy Daniel’s own ‘special day’.
Can't say i’ve been impressed with the incompetence of his govt ( even b4 COVID) but seriously, this “journalist” was out of line for her question. It's his birthday what did you want him to do FFS journalisim
Instead of working round the clock, holding daily press conferences, taking every single question, repeatedly saying “I am accountable”, imagine if he’d done a ScoMo and gone to Hawaii?! Perhaps he should’ve,! News Corpse would’ve absolutely been more forgiving. *insert sarcasm*
Dan is doing a great job. The pile on by political hacks on the right is shameful
And if he did go out for dinner? Or spend his birthday with his parents? Not too sure what her motive was here.
I have actually found most of the questions that are asked to Scomo and Dan are half stupid. There is no real grunt, are repetitive or ask something already spoken about 2min earlier. Real journalism is dead.
I think Dan’s answer to that question was remarkably composed considering the stress he has been through 24/7 ... a lesser man would have answered “Now ... is not the time...”
DictatorDan CedarAndrews
He’s lucky we can say what he wasn’t allowed to. The question from Alex was atrocious.
Some Journos have no shame. He is the premier but is allowed to have a life outside the 18 hours a day 7 days a week job running his state. I definitely oppose him politically but c’mon, give the man a break.
I thought the reporter was sure Dan was out about. Turn out to be a shitty question. Give the man a break.
I think that is a perfectly reasonable question to ask.
I agree. A question about anal sex was inappropriate at this press conference.
Gawd leave him alone. He’s doing a fab job in difficult circumstances
What a grub
Totally not called for! That reporter needs to have news pass removed
Has the journalist been sent for re-education yet?
