In his sights was Queensland Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, who Morrison suggested was performing to voters in the lead-up to an election by saying Victorians would still be restricted from entering her state once the border was reopened on July 10."Unfair", cried Ms Palaszczuk, declaring, somewhat richly, that "I think, for a start, these border wars have got to stop".
"And perhaps if Victoria had been almost self-quarantined or quarantined, then the Prime Minister could have set a date for all of the other states and territories once Victoria was under control." Western Australia's Premier Mark McGowan made little attempt to hide his smugness about keeping his state closed."What's going on in Victoria is very disturbing and that's why we have our border arrangement in place to protect our citizens," he said.Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein said his state would remain closed until at least July 24, but that could change if the situation on the mainland grew worse.
Andrews would rather see a spike in COVID-19 cases in Victoria than be called 'racist'. enjoy
Remove Andrews. Remove virus.
I think you mean ‘if you were unfortunate enough to be shunned ...’. Is this the height of Australian journalism’s grammar?
Labor😊😀😀Why does it always end like this?
The Posh Spice analogy is hilarious.
great analysis idiot. Really digging into the deep issues here
Not to worry. Once they fix it, we'll be one happy family again. Just give them a chance.
Liveable city, my ass!
No kids at my school had Covid but they did have the Measles. Lucky there is a vaccine for that now.
This is particularly stupid journalism. Treat a health emergency for what it is, respect the Vic Govt’s quick response and recognise that all Australians support each other.
I love Victoria! We are all one in this covid pandemic! I am, you are, we are Australian! Stay strong and stay safe!
The most arrogant premier with backet lot of ego
Marvellous hot take
So unAustralian
The Premier with help will get on top of this outbreak but needs every bloody Victorian to help😥
Who the hell is MilesGuo(GuoWengui) What the hell is the Whistleblower movement they are talking about Watch the full episod: Exiled Chinese Billionaire's Accusations of China (w/ Guo Wengui & Kyle Bass)
Why can't Dan just step down and have an adult run the state.
Was the analysis done by a eighth grader? The same situation will happen everywhere until there is a vaccine.
What do you expect. Dan has never been or ever will be in the 'cool' crowd.
Victoria is shunned because of its World known Police Brutality and treatment of the indigenous people and other minorities not because of Corona!!!
your turn will come again.....just wait until after this bi election, there are things that the people of NSW are not being told, your premier & that dickhead scumbo are putting YOUR lives at risk they only care about winning this weekend!
It’s not a competition
The cool kids became the nerds.
What a ridiculous thing to say!

Victoria reimposes 'stay-at-home' orders on coronavirus hotspots for four weeksVictoria will tomorrow reimpose stay-at-home orders in high-risk coronavirus areas after it recorded a 14th-straight day of double-digit growth in new cases. C'mon Victoria! Nail this and get back on board so you can open up for all businesses, reduce risks for vulnerable, and join the rest of Oz. 💪 In these troubled times, has Melbourne considered twin city status with Leicester? Just wondering.

Pressure mounts to lock down declared hotspots across Victoria | Sky News AustraliaPressure is mounting on the Andrews government to lock down declared hotspots across Victoria in order to contain the further spread of COVID-19. \n\nSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said there was increasing concern in federal ranks about the handling of the situation in Victoria. \n\n“The view is that the situation is getting out of control in Victoria with this outbreak and that some serious action should be considered.” \n\nMr Clennell said he understood Prime Minister Scott Morrison addressed the issue with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and offered whatever resources were needed to take serious action. \n\nMr Clennell said stay-at-home orders would see people forced home from work and would also see businesses shut down in affected suburbs.\n\n“I really think that we’re headed this way, there’s no way around it,” he said. \n\n“It’s preferable to reintroducing restrictions across the whole of Victoria isn’t it.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Pressure mounting from Sky News and Uncle Rupert. What ? Like closing a border just a localised version ? I thought you lot didn’t like lockdowns ? This all very confusing. Sky news, the biggest voice of the “lift all lockdowns”. How did that work out for you all ?

NSW will not get 'cocky' about COVID response | Sky News AustraliaVictoria has done the right thing by locking down their hotspot suburbs in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 , according to New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard.\n \nVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Tuesday that he will be locking down 10 postcodes across Melbourne after double digit spikes in COVID-19 cases over consecutive days.\n \n“We are concerned here in New South Wales,” Mr Hazzard told Sky News.\n \n“It’s a tough gig when you try to work with a one in 100 (year) pandemic and know how to relate to your community and all the sections of that community to make sure they hear the messaging.\n \n“All of the state and territory governments, Labor and Liberal, have worked very well together.\n\nHe said despite NSW relative success with tackling the novel virus, the government is well aware an outbreak could occur if strict health procedures are not adhered to.\n \n“We shouldn’t be cocky or complacent in New South Wales or indeed any state or territory,' he said.\n \n“These sorts of issues can occur, it’s a human system.”\n \nMr Hazzard also announced strict new rules for those that have been in the Victorian hotspots.\n \nVictorians in coronavirus hotspots face fines of $11,000 or six months jail time for entering New South Wales, as Melbourne suffers an upswing in COVID-19 cases.\n \nNew South Wales residents could also be slapped with the same penalties for visiting any of the 10 at-risk postcodes in Victoria and returning home. \n BradHazzard STOP FEEDING ASIA WITH TOXIC COAL! OUR PLANET IS DYING! CO2 LEVEL IN THE ATMOSPHERE 415ppm IF ADANI & SHENHUA MINES GO AHEAD,DROUGHTS, FLOODS, CYCLONES WILL INCREASE! EARTH WILL BE COOKED & FRIED! WE HAVE CLIMATE EMERGENCY! EXTINCTION HAS BEGUN! LISTEN TO SCIENTISTS! BradHazzard With this incompetent Health minister giving Victoria’s action the seal of approval I am concerned this might not be the best way to go BradHazzard Bollocks!! Instead of counting cases how about reporting deaths? The real measure of a pandemic. No healthy person has died of this flu virus. Death rate is 0.0004% of population. Flu 2019 had 900+ deaths 0.00347 rate of population.
