Real villain in Victoria’s virus crisis

Hence the government is flying blind. They allowed the virus to escape from quarantine, had no ability to effectively track and trace it in its early spread and have been woefully unable to suppress it ever since, even with evermore draconian measures. In thousands of cases they simply have no idea where the virus has come from nor where it is going.

And then of course there was the fact the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services was officially and publicly advising at-risk people waiting for test results that they could go out in the community even as the Premier was publicly telling people they were forbidden from doing so. This is far from saying that Andrews is blameless in his handling of the crisis – of which I have been deeply critical – but it certainly explains the expression on his face each day.

She also named and shamed a public school where a single music teacher had contracted coronavirus from an outside source while the virus ran rampant through a meatworks she refused to identify. Perhaps it is a form of chivalry – for all his mule-like stubbornness Dan strikes me as a fundamentally decent bloke – or perhaps it is just the hard line set-and-forget style of Victorian politics that makes it keep marching dogmatically into disaster. Either way, in the Bear Pit of NSW politics Mikakos wouldn’t have made it to Tuesday morning

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Not a bad read Joe. I think there needs accepting that as an in modern times unprecedented pandemic, many of the systems were not fit for purpose. Re Quarantine: The fact that Oz is now heavily restricting citizens returning says the system is fundamentally at risk of leakage...

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand A true captain goes down with his ship and crew

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Parts of this article are offensive. The “poor” in the West/South East have “ceased to give a f*k.” A severe oversimplification of all of the factors that these people face & Hildebrand probably never will. Apportioning blame to them while saying they don’t care... classwar

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Seriously, what a load of rubbish. Daniel Andrews is the leader of Victoria but shown zero leadership. The hardest lockdown of the country for no benefit. It is a disaster. You treat people like two year olds then they will act like two old. The curfew is a communist rule.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Lets just get through it and then when ALL the facts are in we have the investigations - and then people can play the silly blame game all they want. For now, better the devil (so to speak) we DO know.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Joe I agree - yes he has made mistakes, yes he has admitted most of them. Its such an unprecedented thing in our lifetime - we have no prior experience at how to handle it etc etc. We're learning as we go along & I know that doesnt help those who have died but what else is there?

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand I usually agree with you Joe. But Andrews is the CEO of this dysfunctional, culpable team. I feel sorry for him and recognise he's under a lot of pressure. But it doesn't detract from the abysmal performance of the team he leads and the deadly consequences of their mismanagement.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand The Lefty's are scrambling....

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand It’s an inconvenience. We can help save lives, the health and well-being of frontline staff and get back to normal sooner. It’s as simple as it gets. The ones that don’t get it simple miss the point altogether. COVID19Vic springst auspol

Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP boycottmurdoch

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Dan, hang in there. However you need to bring in all the expertise to get thru the next few months. You need to extensively revamp your cabinet, bring in youth & new blood your old mates have failed Victoria. Grab the mantle there is no one else.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand The problem probably stems from the fact that Andrews was once Health Minister and thought he knew it all.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Welp.If everybody wants 2 blame Trump (everybody being the left) 4 the outbreak in the US, then why can’t we blame Dan 4 the outbreak in Vic? Or is it just a simple case of ONLY Victorians being negligent in their behaviour across ALL of Australia,and Dan doing a great job 🥴🤷‍♂️

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Rambling load of crap. Must be a pot smoker

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand I never take much notice of wh in govt, what th do, how t make dec etc.I see little value here. However, im shocked th state gov would have so much authority during a crises of this scale. Who r these people? What exp do they have ? Why r thy the best people to c us through ?

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Of course he is! He's PAID to be 'in charge'. Stop messing with punters feeble minds, LIEbrail Media.😡

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand HE'S in charge, HE'S to blame.........simple. When I was a boss the buck stopped with me, same should apply to Dan

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand He’s the Premier...time to fall on his sword! Really they all need to go! resignDanAndrews

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Another brilliant reporting Joe_Hildebrand ! Well said

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Joe seriously you can’t slap with one hand and kiss with the other. Andrews needs to go whether now or at election time. I’m hoping for the former.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Yes he is. Cover up starts at the top

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Being to blame or not didn’t exactly do Herbert Hoover much good.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Interesting article Joe 👍

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Wise words Joe

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand The main thing that will save us now, aside from Victorian’s largely doing the right thing, is switched on journalists who can get to the bottom of problems within the government and expose them as soon as possible.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand The real villians in the Victorian crisis are the half wits who want isolate and the dickheads who wont wear masks

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand We shouldn’t be surprised that plans are formed and then need to change as more information becomes available. The greater crime would to be to formulate a plan and not change if it fails. DanielAndrewsMP has shown the patience of Job and I salute him IStandWithDan

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand You left out that ChairmanDan put the people & facilities in place to record deaths from other causes as covid and do massive amounts of testing. Hence the increased cases and deaths in Victoria.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Lulz this article seems to be making the case for further restrictions yet. ffs...

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Biggest public policy bungle in history. Wait and see

Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP Another good article Joe. It seems more & more you're the lone voice of balance & reason in Oz media. I agree the blowtorch needs to be applied to Health Minister JennyMikakos, she is way out of her depth & overseen a litany of disasters resulting in the current state of crisis

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand ‘Crisis’ is an interesting term....

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand is anyone else a little worried about tomorrows protest in melbourne?

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand No he’s not to blame all you people who did the wrong thing are to blame

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand DictatorDan CedarAndrews DeadlyDan DanMadeDisaster resignDanAndrews resignDanielAndrews

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand You would have to have a heart of stone not to feel sympathy for this man. His face tells it all every single day, I for one would not want his job....!!!!

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand He should be more like our PM, work couple of times a week. Go for a holiday in time of crisis. That is the benchmark for your network anyway.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand leave the men alone he do his best for you idiots

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand No matter what Dan decided to do, there are Victorians who just can't take one for the team. My respect for Dan as a human has really increased with his genuine compassion at press conferences, but I was never a fan bc of his deals with China.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Thank Christ I live in WA, if you think Andrews is doing a great job, the our premier here must be a God.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Aged Care and Border Control are federal responsibilities. Just like the bushfires any federal responsibility was handballed to the states. Morrisons hands are now free of shit.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand DictatorDan chairmandan resignDanAndrews

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Yes, Jenny Mikakos should go, as should Pakula. But Dan has backed himself into a corner waiting for the outcome of the Coates inquiry - wrong move, classic Dan deflection move. Buck still stops with him, if his administration couldn't connect the dots in a crisis, it's his fail

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Putting out fires that he and his team started themselves is not an honourable thing

Another enjoyable read, Joe_Hildebrand. As Premier isn’t DanielAndrewsMP ultimately responsible for the talent he appoints as cabinet ministers and then ongoing assessment, proactive changes for non-performance? McCartney & Wings went thru 3 lead guitarists and 4 drummers...

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Looks like Dan sent some guys round to Joe’s house for a chat after Joe fried Dan on TV... because that’s one huge backpedaling article.... 🤔

Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP Premier Daniel Andrews on Thursday said he was unable to explain how the decision to rely on private security guards was made and Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said on Friday he had found out about 'rumours and reporting around deficiencies with the workforce ...

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Well said Joe. I also fear that we hector the likes of Andrews into doing “something” and then doing “more” until “more” is for the sake of “more” alone and for sound reasoning. Then we complain about that.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand The claim that DictatorDan is a 'decent bloke' is rubbish, he puts on a good show for the less discerning but he is not decent at all. How many children have been murdered ('aborted') under his regime? How many lies has he told? He puts on a show, but he's a Devil.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand come on Joe_Hildebrand I had more respect for you that this. Not saying he should quit that would be pointless as we would most likely get a even more useless twat but this situation is dansfault

Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP Are you so sick and distraught at the current state of Victoria that you have come to this conclusion? Classic Stockholm syndrome. What if we are doing the wrong thing? No one has any answers available. Well let’s not worry about that. Let’s just keep on doing the same things.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand What virus crisis? 99.9+%of people recover with no issues! Those at risk are those with co-morbidities and who knows how long they have/had left anyway? These lockdowns will cause far greater problems (economical, social, mental health etc) than the health impact of Covid19

Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP Dan is in charge, Dan is to blame. It's very simple even for hardcore Labor voters like the author

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP faces the media every day, answers all their questions and doesn’t have sex on the job. Doesn’t blame others though, still acknowledges that the buck stops with him. Integrity. auspol

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Yet federally national borders were left open too long and still we have new arrivals every day? Accountability?

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Victorians earlier in the year when the rest of the states were working with the feds - Yeah we've got the toughest restrictions in the nation but it's because Dan is keeping us safe, you'll see, we're the best!

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand I think are to blame for it.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Bahahahahahahahahahahaha

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Great article

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand resignJennyMikakos

Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP Still let protest go on... didn’t enforce quarantine effectively and let Cedar meats spiral out of control as they are ALP donors... all black marks Joe

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand simplejoe

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand WHAT! So why is ScottMorrisonMP to blame for the fires during the summer.......... He is the premier of Victoria, it’s his fault. Time to step down

Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP Saw the headline didn’t bother to read Just in denial Thought more of Joe but obviously TO FAR left The buck stops with the leaders & top brass Usually they blame their under dogs in any work force C - Citizens O - Of V - Victoria I - Ignoring D- Directions RitaPanahi

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand The real villain is the crap legal system. We need to not tolerate trouble makers and punish criminals. We have seen bail and paroles continually commit crimes and nothing changes. Now we have people spreading the virus ! Got tough

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Joe, really? I mean, I get that in a time of crises, it’s human nature to blame someone/anyone, but how about we all grow up,take into consideration those suffering and those that have passed, there will be more then enough time at the end to play “The Blame Game”

Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP I don’t blame I try instead to look for answers All the overseas evidence says lockdowns don’t work yet VIC in lockdown History tells us autocratic government & violent policing negatively impact those it is trying to protect again WHY are we doing it?

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand What a load of rubbish. If he hadn’t messed up quarantine it would have never happened.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand DanielAndrewsMP is the best leader Australia has right now in all this insanity. Stop being a Murdock puppet and actually do some non bias reporting.... guess you can’t ... unfollow

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Telling people they can’t go out to get a pizza , but cigs or feed their horse is F ing insane

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand If Andrews is the “most talented” then we don’t need to just get rid of our “Paul McCartney”. We want to dump the entire band. Their incompetence has cost untold lives and livelihoods- and they’re not finished yet.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Joe is wrong... DanielAndrewsMP is the States leader ...

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Stopped reading after “Jenny has done nothing” which soured it a bit and made it sound like yet more political spin. Seemed pretty balanced before that. Dan is trying to put out so many fires. He has impressed many too. Even Libs. Dan and Jenny both working their a off.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Jenny Mikakos needs to be sacked

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand This man is no villain to label him as such is a nonsense .

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Commie Dan is 110% virus. He needs to do one thing right to save himself. People who are awake will know.

DanielAndrewsMP Joe_Hildebrand Danny boy deserves all the scorn he gets.

'Slowdown' in product distribution to impact consumers | Sky News AustraliaAustralian Food and Grocery Council Acting CEO Dr Geoffrey Annison says there are concerns government restrictions on manufacturers due to the coronavirus crisis in Victoria might impact Australian consumers along the chain. \n\nConcerns have mounted over possible supply shortages in supermarkets due to coronavirus induced travel restrictions and limits on workplaces and warehouses. \n\n“What might not be appreciated is that if we have any slowdown of products moving out of the warehouses then obviously we have to also slow down product upstream in the manufacturing sectors,” he told Sky News. \n\n“We appreciate strongly the government’s desire to suppress the transmission of this virus but it is important that we get these products that everyday Australians, and particularly Victorians, at this time need to get from the supermarkets.” \n\nMr Annison said it was “problematic and maybe unnecessary” for the government to impose a “blanket requirement” across parts of the supply chain which will see workers allowed on site reduced by a third. \n\nHe said the group supported the government’s efforts “to reduce transmission across the community but we just think we can nuance some of this response and still remain an effective suppression of the virus in the food production and supply chain”. \n\n“What we’d like [the government] to do is recognise that the distribution centres, as well as other parts of the supply chain, have sophisticated COVID-safe plans already which go to staff management and how they interact on site,” he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia You mean shutting everything down for a virus that kills the elderly is going to hurt us? Shocking... 🙄 This is self inflicted, we may be an island but internet exists. Surely people can see that lock downs don't work, they just move the problem down the road. How about we protect the vulnerable, which we are not doing, and the rest of us get on? Watch the shelves empty guicker than you can say toilet paper.
