Vic State of Emergency extension nothing but 'a power grab' from Andrews | Sky News Australia

Victoria Opposition Leader Michael O'Brien has labelled Premier Daniel Andrews' plan to extend state of emergency powers to September 2021, a "power grab". Mr O'Brien said the reason state of emergency legislation only allowed for a six-month stretch period was because they were "extraordinary powers". "Victorians are going through curfews at the moment. Most businesses are closed down," he said.

" The Liberal leader said he was willing to meet with the premier to discuss a timed extension for the state's reopening but said it was more important state parliament be allowed to sit. "There's no reason why parliament should not be sitting, for example, on a monthly basis...

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Absolute power grab.

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Here's a grab...

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP How about reporting ACTUAL facts rather than just snippets to prove false points? The legislation allows Premier to extend emergency powers IN 4 WEEK INCRIMINATES over that 12 months. Considering a vaccine will not be avaliable for 12 months at least - why is this surprising?

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Millhouse would. Shame that nobody gives a single, solitary fuck what he thinks. How's that branch stacking revelation coming along, by the way?

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP What none of the Murdoch/LNP get is that most of us are listening to the EXPERTS on this. If EXPERTS tell us what DanielAndrewsMP is doing is a bad Idea, we will change our minds. Until then you clowns keep on playing politics and we can ignore you.

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP NO WAY. Until Dan Andrews provides accountability then NO. Remember Victoria we are only in this position because of Andrew's govt mismanagement & incompetence of hotel quarantine & cluster mismanagement. Mikakos, Pakula & Neville must be sacked. NO use just saying the word Dan.

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Mr. O’Brien - now is your chance to stand up and be counted. Labeling DanielAndrewsMP and talking is not enough. We must get rid of this guy.

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP What a load of BS from O’Brien 🤡. In the NT, NSW, WA, QLD & SA from my research, they do not have a six month limit for a State of Emergency, but longer & most with no time period. Vic are aligning it & it makes sense. O’Brien 🤡 is a clown. IStandWithDan boycottmurdoch

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Is Murdoch turning on Morrison it's well known murdoch hates backing losers.

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP A combined effort to let elderly die LNP dont care. Aged Care Minister Richard Colbeck tells SenateQT the Govt will wait till NEXT YEAR’S budget to fund major aged care improvements, in response to royal commission. Does this Govt not see ANY urgency in fixing aged care?

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP How galling is it to have a Premier who CONSTANTLY lectures and castigates his electorate on the importance of following the RULES, while with a straight face, asking for the power to ignore all the rules of his office for another 12 months? My answer is 'very'

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP That’s because it is a shameless power grab! Will someone please rid Victoria of this evil moron DictatorDan

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Wake up ! If leftist political Professor Peter Van Onselen, says it's a power grab by Andrews, it's a power grab by Andrews. The first time I have heard PVO openly and forcibly critical, of any Labor govt. Wake up Victorians, Dan wants power without Parliament.

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Absolutely a power grab! Instead of giving us HOPE and a RECOVERY Plan, Dictator Dan is asserting his power. Where is the Scientific evidence that this is warranted? We have been compliant and cases are going down. We are in Lockdown 2.0 because of Labor’s complete incompetence!

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Weaken the Australian economy = strengthen China's negotiating position. Where does ASIO stand on this?

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Instead of personalising it look at what it’s about , or what it’s intended to do, it may or may not be perfect but media or opposition scaremongering or not being factual is the same, it’s about control , at least legislative changes go through a parliamentary scrutiny process

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Andrews is not a benign politician who is primarily interested in welfare of his citizens;Andrews is an IDEOLOGUE who is only interested in furthering his political interests; His political interests lie in bringing Socialism here; This is how a democracy slips into dictatorship.

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP It is only extending the provision if it is needed. DA is not saying current state will continue for another 12 months. I dont usually defend the ALP but in this case I think it makes sense

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP With almost 6.5 million political prisoners this fool has to go.

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP You will have riots on your hands Mr Andrews...along with the blood already there

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP It is in case they are needed to stop someone with covid19 ie running around delivering food, it is a health directive, nothing more

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP The Murdoch Coalition govt lessons in obfuscation and rampant political bias

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Ultimate Control bwahaha? Time to put the genie back in his lamp!

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Excuse me, I am the real and true leader of the Victorian opposition, Michael is merely a puppet

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Got a feeling this power grab is a way of avoiding being held accountable for the quarantine hotel fiasco in the future

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP Michael the big mouth has gone silent on branch stacking under his watch

michaelobrienmp DanielAndrewsMP So michaelobrienmp what's your alternate exit plan? Give us something meaningful rather than just playing dumb'd down 'opposition' politics.

Andrews defends plan to keep Vic in state of emergency until Sept 2021 | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has defended a plan to extend Victoria's State of Emergency powers that would not see them lifted until September 2021.\n\nFormer state premier Jeff Kennett registered his anger with Mr Andrews labelling him a 'megalomaniac'. \n\n'The Premier said he might keep the state of emergency in place until we have a vaccine - we may never have a vaccine,' he said.\n\n'Are we all going to be locked up at the whim of the premier without any checks and balances?\n\n'This is an act of a megalomaniac.'\n\nThe opposition indicated it would not support the bill meaning the premier would need four Upper-House crossbenchers to back it when it was introduced in parliament next week.\n\nThe powers would allow the Victoria government to extend a state of emergency in four-week blocks for up to 12 months as well as greater powers to enforce mandatory quarantine, COVID safe plans for businesses and mandatory mask-wearing.\n\nMr Andrews defended the plan and argued getting back to normal 'won't ever be an option' if the state could not 'protect what it had already achieved'.\n\n'Extending State of Emergency is about ensuring that we can legally make the changes our health experts need to keep us safe, he said. \n\n'This does not change how long our current lockdown will last, or increase the restrictions we face.'\n\nImage: Getty\n\n DanielAndrewsMP Wake up. It's an ambit claim. Dictator Dan knows he's not going to get 12 months. He wants block's of 3 and that's what he'll get. The X benches will tumble and think they've done a great job. Where in fact they would have given him what he wants. Dills. DanielAndrewsMP Don’t extend it.Knowing Victorians they’ll not forget this at the ballot boxes.Peoples’ mental health, education, businesses, jobs and overall economy are struggling. An extension would cause problems. But implementation and embedding of strong policies and strategies would help.

Dan Andrew’s extension of the state of emergency is the act of a ‘megalomaniac’ | Sky News AustraliaFormer Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett has blasted Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews as a 'megalomaniac' for his draconian 12 month extension of the state's state of emergency.\n\nPremier Daniel Andrews has announced Victoria’s state of emergency will be extended for 12 months beyond the scheduled September 13 finish date. \n\nMr Andrews said a decision was yet to be made as to when the Victorian Parliament would sit to pass the bill but it would be made “available at the appropriate time”.\n\nMr Kennett said the premier’s suggestion to extend the state of emergency would disincentivise potential investors from investing in the state and would cause unemployment rates to surge. \n\n “If you’re going to invest millions of dollars, you won’t invest in a state where the premier is so terribly, terribly anti-business,” Mr Kennett said. \n\n “We have not been a state that has tried to live with and manage this virus, we’ve been a state that has imposed restrictions on people to the extent that individual freedoms are out the wall.\n\n“Instead of offering us hope, he’s saying we’re going to extend this state of emergency another twelve months.\n\n“It can’t happen, because if it does happen, there will be no Victoria as we know it today.\n\n“This premier is driving us, and our economy, into the ground. Are we all going to be locked up at the whim of the premier with no check and balances.\n\n“This is an act of a megalomaniac.”\n\nImage: Getty\n jeff_kennett Just lock Dan in the press conference room with Magda for 18 months and tell them the cameras are live. Then let everyone get back to life as usual. jeff_kennett WHO jeff_kennett Sorry its tooooo much ...

There is 'no logic' to Australia's avoidance of nuclear power | Sky News AustraliaBroadcaster Michael McLaren says it is simply fear and ideology that is keeping Australia from using nuclear power.\n\nAustralia has 40 per cent of the world’s uranium reserves, and yet it is illegal to operate a nuclear reactor in the country.\n\nThere are 450 nuclear power plants worldwide. \n\n“Even Joe Biden … and his Green New Deal is saying that small, modular, nuclear reactors have to be part of America’s future,” Mr McLaren told Sky News host Alan Jones. \n\n“Even sleepy Joe gets it, and yet out here, as you said, we’ve got the world’s largest uranium mine at Olympic Dam.\n\n“Cory Bernardi knows better than most, South Australia could become one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in the world if they allowed nuclear energy and the safe storage of waste in the middle of nowhere in South Australia.\n\n“And yet for whatever reason - there’s no logic to it, it’s just fear and ideology - we don’t proceed.”\n\nImage: Getty Michael ... Read the fine print......its all about money. I don't care about ideology, the fear factor may bring out the Chernobyl cheer squad. The reality is electricity is already too expensive. Nuclear power will really hike up the price further. Go nuclear or go home. We dont want Nuclear. Use Solar or wave technology and lead the world that way instead of following suit with bad ideas. The Pacific is already full of Nuclear waste from Japan, we should learn lessons.
