Victorian Liberal MP Nick Wakeling says there has been a “sustained attack" on Victoria Country Fire Authority by the Andrews government. “It’s very concerning," Mr Wakeling told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “Under the cover of COVID … tens of thousands of volunteers across the state have not been able to undertake important training for months.
” “The government has also but pan on volunteers undertaking important fuel reduction burns Mr Wakeling said the state was “worse off” despite Andrews having promised to make the state emergency services better under new reforms. “We’re worse off, volunteers have not had adequate training and they’re not undertaking important fuel reduction work.”

A 'collective amnesia' has struck the bureaucracy in Victoria | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi says a “collective amnesia” has struck the bureaucracy in Victoria. \n\nHer comment comes after the inquiry into hotel quarantine has seen a majority of the state’s officials refusing to take responsibility for the decisions made surrounding the hotel quarantine system. \n\n“No one can remember anything, they can’t remember what was discussed in meetings, they can’t remember who said what, who made key decisions, Ms Panahi said.\n\n'I think it’s a strategy that could work.\n\n“If you’ve got half of everyone appearing (at the inquiry) not being transparent or (not) having the sort of memory you’d expect of someone who’s a functioning adult, then how can you possibly determine who’s ultimately responsible?”\n RitaPanahi Funny that RitaPanahi Here is a picture I have of a SKY alarmist, sorry News reporter, spreading the right wing views, sorry news ThisIsNotJournalism RitaPanahi

High polls for Andrews clearly equate to ‘Stockholm syndrome’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the only explanation for Daniel Andrews’ positive Newspoll numbers is “Stockholm syndrome”.\n\nAccording to The Australian’s Newspoll, 62 per cent of Victorian voters believe Premier Daniel Andrews has handled the ongoing COVID-19 crisis well.\n\nThis is despite a failed hotel quarantine system, which is currently under inquiry, and inadequate contact tracing.\n\nHis satisfaction rating is 62 per cent, while Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk experiences similar support with 63 per cent approval.\n\nMs Credlin said both the polls for the two premiers are “virtually identical” which is surprising, given nobody would compare the handling of the virus in Victoria to the handling in Queensland.\n\n“Everyone in the country would say that Daniel Andrews has done a shocking job,” she said.\n\n“I don’t think these polls give us anything more than Stockholm syndrome.\n\n“Stockholm syndrome in Victoria, I can’t explain it in Queensland.”\n\n DanielAndrewsMP That's no even a good rebuttal. It would be better to say the sampling is too small to determine the approval instead. DanielAndrewsMP Fake polls DanielAndrewsMP Who's getting polled? I haven't been and don't know anyone who has

Despite draconian restrictions 'Premier Andrews wants more powers' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the nation has never seen a premier 'lockdown, threaten and restrict his citizens like this before' yet Daniel Andrews now wants more power. \n\nMr Kenny said in Victoria the restrictions on personal movement and choices are the most draconian ever seen in Australia, perhaps outside of prisons. \n\nIt comes as the Andrews government attempts to pass its new security legislation designed to empower ‘authorised officers’ with the ability to detain people they believe to be ‘at risk’ and not complying with health directives.\n\nMr Kenny said this move by the Victorian government has “prompted a powerful response from a prestigious cohort of former High Court and Federal Court judges and other eminent legal figures”. \n\n'We've never before seen a premier lockdown, threaten and restrict his citizens like this before,' Mr Kenny said. \n\n“We have never before seen police intimidating and arresting people just for gathering on beaches, sitting in parks, not wearing masks or posting stuff on social media.\n\n“Yet Andrews wants more power.”\n DanielAndrewsMP Kenny must’ve missed the poll, no one gives a $hit about Sky News and Murdoch media’s opinion - Andrews is soaring in the polls with approval auspol ................................Don’t you just love it when they tag the premier into their myopic tweets to try & trigger DanielAndrewsMP P-S-Y-C-H-O-P-A-T-H DanielAndrewsMP

Daniel Andrews ‘botched quarantine’ and must be ultimately responsible | Sky News AustraliaMelbourne’s hotel quarantine inquiry has solely featured ministers and top bureaucrats pointing at each other, but at the end of the day it is Premier Daniel Andrews who is “ultimately at fault,” according to Victorian Liberal MP David Davis.\n\nThe Premier has signaled he will front the COVID-19 Hotel Quarantine Inquiry on Friday, and will likely be questioned about his role in the refusal of ADF support.\n\nAsked by Sky News host Peta Credlin whether he believes the premier will tell the truth, Mr Davis said the inquiry hasn’t yet “heard the truth from anyone else”.\n\n“We’ve got this farcical situation where no one’s responsible,” he said.\n\n“They ran this hotel quarantine, yet no one’s responsible, no one knows who ordered it, no one knows who banned the ADF, no one knows who put in the private security people.\n\n“Daniel Andrews is at fault. He’s the one who ordered this, he’s the one who botched it, he’s the one who let the virus escape from quarantine and he’s the one who’s failed to fix the contact tracing.” \n\n DanielAndrewsMP DavidDavisMLC If you had listened to his comments,Dan Andrews has always said that the buck stops with him. More trash from Sky News. DanielAndrewsMP DavidDavisMLC So at these strategic meetings no one was taking minutes of decisions made and by whom? Very hard to believe !!
