Ms Conisbee said retail in CBDs across Australia was hit hardest by the COVID-19 crisis and “Melbourne’s CBD in particular is looking like a ghost town”. “I think we might need to enact some type of planning policy to get people back in there, like what we saw in the early 90s when the city of Melbourne implemented the 'Postcode 3000' project and got people living there again,” she said. “At this stage it’s looking fairly dire, but we know we can do things about it.

Frydenberg lashes Victorian Labor govt saying 'it should never have got to this' | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg has criticised the Victoria government's handling of hotel quarantine, which led to the state's second wave of coronavirus, saying there were 'no doubt' mistakes made. \n\nMr Frydenberg agreed with fellow Victorian and Assistant Treasurer Michael Sukkar the issue in Victoria was 'not simply bad luck' but poor leadership.\n\n'As a Victorian, I feel so devastated about what has transpired in our state. It should never have got to this,' he said.\n\n'What happened in quarantine were significant failures that cannot be repeated.\n\n'We're in a state of crisis right now. The emotional toll on Victorian families, on women who are trying to hold down a job and homeschool their kids, on grandparents not seeing their kids, on businesses having to close their doors.' \n\nMr Frydenberg rejected the assertion the onus was on the government to hold Premier Daniel Andrews to account over the state's failings to contain the virus, but rather to continue providing the necessary support to the businesses and individuals.\n\n'I'll let Daniel Andrews explain what happened on quarantine. That's for him to explain. That's for him to account for, but there is no doubt mistakes have been made,' he said.\n\n'You might want a slinging match in the media and you may think that may make for good headlines, but I'm focused on delivering for Victorians.'\n\nMr Frydenberg said he welcomed further funding from the states as the federal government increased its spending through the expansion of JobKeeper.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia JoshFrydenberg So he does realise that it was Scott Morrison's suggested security company from an approved list of providers?

Brisbane refugee protesters 'putting the lives of innocent people at risk' | Sky News AustraliaQueensland Health Minister Steven Miles has issued an unwavering warning to protesters planning to rally for refugee rights in Brisbane tomorrow. \n\n“To people who are concerned about the treatment of refugees, I understand your concern, I appreciate your concern, however your concern is with decisions of the federal government, not with Queenslanders whose health could be put at risk if these protests go ahead,” he said. \n\nMr Miles said if Queensland continued to record zero cases of community transmission this weekend, the chief health officer would lift restrictions on aged care visits. \n\n“That’s what’s at stake here; whether hundreds of Queenslanders can have their families visit them in their nursing homes or not,” he said. \n\n“The decision to breach health directions and put that at risk is not selfless, it is selfish. \n\n“They should not think for a moment that they are part of one of the world’s great protest movements, those protesters put their own lives at risk, not the lives of others or the lives of innocent people.” \n\nMr Miles said the government would not allow protesters to proceed tomorrow. \n\nQueensland Police also warned officers would fine anyone caught breaching health directions by protesting. \n\nImage: AP StevenJMiles Victoria has it worse than refugees StevenJMiles What is wrong with these idiots StevenJMiles
