The steep rise in COVID-19 cases in Victoria is partly bad luck but also undeniably bad management, due in large part to a hotel quarantine failure, itself based on the hiring of private security firms.

The Victorian premier, when first interviewed for aprofile story back in May, was not exactly ebullient, but he nevertheless exuded calm and control. Here was a wildly popular progressive politician with an ambitious infrastructure plan, nationally lauded for his handling of both the bushfires and the coronavirus.Good Weekend

Any wonder. The steep rise in COVID-19 cases in Victoria is partly bad luck but also undeniably bad management, due in large part to a” – turning Victoria from shining light into cautionary tale. “What’s clear to everybody is that … the genie was in the bottle, and somehow it got out,” says Towell. “Somebody’s responsible for it, and ultimately the buck stops with Daniel Andrews.

Omg does Murdoch own this rag as well?

Goodbye_Dan

Fuckup after fuckup at every stage and every level since day ONE of this virus, followed by coverup after coverup, blame shifting after blame shifting ....a fucking great total FUCKUP.

Understatement of the year!

Really? I don’t think he’s stalled at all. He is the first male leader in Australia to break the mould, show his emotions and lead with empathy. Onwards and upwards for this new model of male leadership. DanielAndrewsMP

I’m sick of all this DanielAndrewsMP bashing. He’s doing an amazing job! Blame the ignorant section of the population that don’t believe in the virus or don’t simply care

What a cop out. The problem lies squarely at the feet of a section of the Victorian public, who are obviously stupid and recalcitrant and don't care a fig about their community or Australia at large.

Christ taken you 4 weeks SHERLOCKS

The steep rise in cases is the fault of each individual who did not play their part. How could Dan accept responsibility for every action of every person in Victoria? Ridiculous commentary. istandwithdan

NSW is also doing it

Its a pandemic ... not a coin toss bad luck has nothing to do with it

He is solely responsible for mismanagement , however what's happened to the security guard, criminal charges should be layed and an extensive jail sentence should be served

Omg give it a rest!!!!! I’m so Over the slandering of Dan, how about focusing on Scotty from Marketing for a change!!! IStandWithDan

'This [quarantine bungle] is a scandal of an entirely different order.” Bungles don't necessarily translate to scandals except in media and wildly partisan politics. Mistakes are made, it's how you put them right that matters. It's part of the job, even scribblers should see that

The army has been deployed, should have the scientists and vaccine companies down in Victoria testing the fuck out of Victorians for a vaccine that will get us out of the woods

The article should read a sharp rise in covid19 cases in Victoria, presents an opportunity for Australia to lead the way in developing a COVID vaccine

casualization of the workforce / lack of oversight/ freeing up of regulation / easing red tape LNP plan to stimulate the economy !

Who’s decision to hire private security guard for hotel quarantine in Victoria and causing lockdownMelbourne SecondWaveIsComing Melbourne

Time to cancel subscription.

Amazing how Dictator Dans monumental hotel quarantine stuff up is Scomo’s fault.

Lets not forget the Black Lives Matter protests

WHY IS VICTORIA GOVERNMENT DELIBERATELY BLOCKING LIFE SAVING TREATMENT specifically in regards to COVID19? WHY is this atrocity sanctioned ? This medication has been used for over 60 years effectively, WHY the SUDDEN need to BLOCK its USE?

Bergeonline Mr Andrews disparagement of people who have had to have their loved ones committed to nursing home care is a disgrace. My wonderful father suffered terrible dementia which made him a risk to himself and his loving wife. WE HAD NO CHOICE!!!!.

Exactly which part was bad luck?

Plus people not taking it seriously on the northern suburbs and staying home when sick. Everyone else has to sacrifice

No. Engaging ‘Wilson Security’, (remember that name now). And then that company hires staff without training , then WS is the problem. It’s delegation to firms that don’t care and other individuals keep breaching distance protocols so it’s not Dans fault is it ? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Andrews =epic fail 😬

The hiring of guards for hotel quarantine was an international border security issue and should have been managed by the Feds. Instead it was offloaded to the state. Not good enough.

Quarantine is a federal government responsibility. As is aged care. Your never-ending partisan propaganda is truly sickening.

Even a tweet can accomodate properly constructed sentences.....

Can we have a 'Bash Dutton Day' please. It's about time, considering he's head of ABF, and considering it was one of his lackeys that let all the passengers disembark, many full of C19.

Or the individual shagin’ some one in quarantine..... if I sell a shit Big Mac should Ronald MacDonald pay?

Still with this even though you know it’s Scotty’s remit! Give up! No demise majority of Vic’s love him!

The problem is simple Dan was bullied and even as a adult looks uncomfortable in his own skin. Look at him anywhere he is with important people that he doesn't control.. Looks very out of place. So he bullies VIC citizensto make him feel powerful

SMH you do know that GladysB has also contracted private security firms, don't you? If you don't know, you bloody well should.

PM and Daniel Andrews hold crisis talks over Victorian coronavirus outbreakScott Morrison and Daniel Andrews held crisis talks overnight to discuss further extreme lockdown measures to slow the spread of COVID-19 after a record surge in cases in Victoria. Such an awful panicdemic. Sadly i think the time has come for business within the lock down areas, to be closed for a period of time. Tighter checks at check points. Some companies are doing the wrong thing. DanielAndrewsMP Check this company out. Steamatic (Yea branch in particular), have used sick persons, have employees in lock down zones who travel around using a piece of paper from insurance company saying they are essential workers. Not a medical document or exemption.
