is now the subject of a judicial inquiry.
"We had conversations with the ADF ... and it was deemed, I think, by agreement between the government and the Australian Defence Force that they would simply be replicating the work that SkyBus is doing now and doing well.More than 164,000 people have been tested across Victoria in the past week, but many residents are still refusing tests, Ms Mikakos said."That might be for a range of reasons, including that they may have already been tested in a different location.
Among those cases is a student from Mount Ridley College in Craigieburn. Local MP Ros Spence confirmed the case on her Facebook page on Friday morning.that have been closed for deep cleaning since last Friday due to positive cases in students or staff. Meanwhile, RMIT University's Point Cook Flight School was closed earlier this week after a student contracted the virus. The infected student attended a flight class on Sunday with one instructor, who began self-isolating on Wednesday.
This is fearmongering STOP IT Do some journalism and get some FACTS
The morons who refuse should be fined and quarantined for 2 weeks. Them we’ll see if the dick heads co operate. FFS
That figure does seem high. Do counts include reasons? Eg many in hotspots went to community testing stations. If their street was doorknocked following day are they counted a refusal for already home awaiting results?
It is in South Australia. We have no community transmission. Rights come with responsibility.
Yep and the libs are crooks ,,,,, talk about that
The dickheads that think this thing is a conspiracy should be arrested and taken to a hospital to watch the victims fighting for every breath....🤬🤬🤬. How insensitive and callous to their grieving families
Victorians who want Australia to trend towards our condition in the United States are irresponsible, dangerous and selfish. You are on the lower slopes of an exponential curve. Get off it by everyone working together. Take your test. It's a privilege.
How very left and woke of them.
Simple. If they refuse test, treat as tested positive, mandatory self isolation until tested clear.
Well maybe they should catch it tosee if it’s a conspiracy.
Don’t think Covid-19 testing should be compulsory. But refusing a test should result in a compulsory 14 day at home iso with regular compliance checks. Fines for non-compliance.
Conspiracy? What about those families who have had loved ones die from COVID-19? Is that a conspiracy? So lame, 1 refuse, 1000 refuse and more, how many more needs to die because some are not phased about it? Great example Victorians, not so Victorious right now!!!
Well if the fools think it's a conspiracy,if they get sick,just advise them it's only a cold or mild flu,no requirement for hospitalisation,go home take some Panadol
Who are these idiots? 🤷♀️
AnonymousSage1 Good for them
COVIDIOTS
The so called 'positive tests' are absolute crap!
I rolled my eyes so far back into my head that it literally hurt and I thought I was having an aneurysm. And that was just the headline. I'm afraid to even read the comments.
Because it is.
Don’t fret! Scott Morrison will call a presser soon and tell them all to “Just stop it” and then everything will be fine. P.S.: remember, children are safe in schools, can’t be any clearer than that.
GOOD ON THEM...WE SICK OF THE COVIT 19 DRAMA. WHERE WES COVIT 19, WHEN GOVERNMENT ALLOWED BLACK LIFE MATTER PROTEST IN THE MIDDLE OF PANDEMIC!
Bet I can guess what ‘News’ sources and politicians led them to form that conclusion.
Shut the Victorian border!!!!
If it were a conspiracy, wouldn't you want to help stop it? Conspiracy thinking doesn't explain a refusal to test. Stupidity does.
New York
Fake news distraction from mikakos
imagine these asshats refusing to abide by rationing or air raid blackouts during WWII
that's not many qld'ers living in Victoria.
Typical misleading headline from Fewfax. Some can mean literally just a few.
Is there actually 10.000 Victorians refusing a Covid-19 Test or are they just 10.000 unwanted arseholes that are living here ? Deport the lot of them ! Give them a One way ticket to who Gives a Fck !
Facebook idiots. Rather believe an anonymous meme than a whole Health Dept full of qualified experts that are backed up by evidence.
Would they also refuse a Sars-CoV-2 vaccine? 🥴
auspol insiders Now Australia is again reaping the reward of the spread of Anti-Science Anti-Fact Anti-Climate Conspiracy Theories led by the Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison Govt to keep themselves elected fully backed up by the Murdoch Press & the Qidiots
idiots!
Maybe if every News Corp wanker didn't bang on for months about it being a hoax, so many people wouldn't think it's a bloody hoax?
My god we have a lot of incredibly dumb people in Victoria 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
It'd be kinda funny to put their pic up online to publicly shame them. They'd probably like it though.
Plandemic, Dr fauci has alot of patents on man made viruses like this one. He's been messing around with viruses for over 20 years including hiv. Pure evil
I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of Victoria until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.
I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of Victoria until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on. COVIDIOTS
Pete Evans fans I’d say
Maybe they are sending Dan a message.... we have had enough of being told what to do where to go,or not go and who we can visit well some of the population union muslims and protestors exempt
is that fake news
Idiots
Well done! If you are not sick and doing the right thing. No need to be tested. Stop the panick and hourly updates. Of course there are more cases when there’s a crazy amount of testing.
Build a wall
Are you kidding don't they watch the news? Make it mandatory.
They've been watching too much Trump by the looks.
Honestly this is a false number . Think about it how do you collate 10000 refusals to test . It's a diversion by Andrews .goes like this -'excuse me id like to test you . Nah . Ok I'll just write it down and report your refusal to the CMo' ..this happens 10000 times ....BS,
Anyone who refuses a test should be treated as positive, just like breath test. In quarantine till negative reading. Months at home looming
Please depot them to Mars,l. K thanks
Let them understand how their selfish reaction would give Victoria a huge negative economic impact. Probably that is not only this state but also the entire country in long term.
WTF? Conspiracy? Come and see the deaths we’ve had and people losing loved ones you conspiracy theorists living in your bubble 😠
Victoria, please get tested. Don’t become another Wuhan.
And my mum told me over and over the dumb fucks on twitter weren’t representative of the actual population... 🤔
DanielAndrewsMP true?
ozcrimenews good on em, the 10K
People are dumb
This week has proven one thing, A number of Victorians are as dumb as Trump supporters. It appears the leftist do gooder approach of the ALP government has back lashed on them. Now maybe the lefties will realise human behaviour is driven by self need not community norms.
Aluminium foil must be cheaper in Victoria.
Common sense slowly being employed. The (mis)handling of coronavirus has been on an epic scale. Yesterday's press conference on Ghislaine Maxwell's arrest in NY by 3 leading investigators, unmasked masks & Covid related protocols. Watch these 3 'educated' people at the lectern.
that was actually said to me by a not a particularly intelligent being But we are now at their mercy. It is time for compunction we can't be generous of spirit anymore.
And who has spread those conspiracy theories? MSM, shock jocks, Sky News and others from the right. There is a clear act v consequence link here.
10 grand fine outta go the trick
ozcrimenews any 3 digits you search ,, you get bull
Lame excuses don't count, they are going to become spreaders.
This is Twitter and fB’s fault. Conspiracy theories breed on those like dengue fever in a swamp. It’s time to call in the psychologists who study cults and conspiracy theories and how to combat th Not an easy task. This is very discouraging.
Any chance they can have their mental acuity tested at the same time 😳
Labor heartland people, long treated like idiots, eventually adapt to expectations of them.
Innocent people are being treated like criminals, why was Australia accepting direct flights from Wuhan at peak of chinese pandemic is the real crime.
Oh dear, We have big problem 🙄
It is
In free country, that's their right. This is not a pandemic. The numbers so far after this virus has been out for multiple months already are equivalent to a bad flu (similar numbers of death). We don't all this panic porn. Just an excuse to remove freedoms. No!
V high chance these refuseniks are Liberal Party supporters, read the australian religiously and also think climate change is a hoax. auspol
Why should they be, it's not necessary, the tests do not diagnose anything but the gov. claim they have done 2.4 million and found 8,000 cases so it's also hideously expensive for a virus almost everyone gets over.
Anyone who refuses to be tested should not be allowed a ventilator if/when required.
Great click-bait headline! How far down do I have to read to find the par that justifies it?
Can we look at some stats? .0004% death rate in Au In Vic - 30 ppls sick enough to be in hospital, 0 deaths from the flu this year (s/be 100+) Whats killing us is the hysteria and reaction to it.
🤦♂️
Stick them in jail if they dont comply. Obviously the message hasn’t sunk in
I thought Australians were more sensible than that 😡 CloseTheBorder GladysB
If there continues to be refusals, they'll just be locked down for longer. NoLogic Covid19Vic
Labor have to wake up here. Pink batts became a problem as the Government, fundamentally relied on people/contractors to do the right thing. They never factored in the ignorant, the uninformed & those that willfully decided to not obey the rules. Compulsory tests now.
How wiII we create naturaI immunity if we are Iocked down?
'Deep in the heart of T̶e̶x̶a̶s̶ Victoria'

NATO project, Blackberries!
annavturner wtf
There is no emergency in Australia that justifies governments forcibly taking away the freedom and income of Australians. There is no 'conspiracy' just a massive overreaction. The virus has a close to 100% recovery rate and can be managed without the need for any lockdowns.
It's a fair indication of people's trust in government. It's all a path to mass mandatory vaccines
Evolution for some has reached its tipping point. Anti vaxxers and flat Earthers, people elect a game show host as President of the US .. We are walking off into the sun as a species methinks.
And has anyone as the Premiers of other states how many have refused
Ah the Mexicans, they are so odd down there....
Make testing law NOW! Use Xmas Island NOT city hotels for Quaranteen NOW! Implement full statewide lockdown (level-4) & border closure NOW! Stop believing the denial COVIDIOTS speak for the majority. Otherwise, we might as well give up & 'Freedom' ourselves to death like Yanks!
How many claim to not speak English And then Not understand auspol dutton
Dead set morons
Okay, time to start fining these Pete Evens' sheep
VicXit
Belonging to the Victorian era...
Mandatory testing incoming...
The first people who should be locked up with relation to this are the Black Lives Matter organisers who are still organising gatherings.
Oh dear and these people are allowed to vote! Egad!
Not conspiracy but numbers in USA etc have been inflated
How did Victoria get such a concentration of idiots compared to the rest of Australia?
That's because they watch Sky news and the likes of Bolt and Kenny.
And as we have learned .. a FakeNewMedia 'conspiracy' is often fact.
Fck them! Let them die then!
We should do everything possible to make their isolation more bearable. People could send all those puzzles they bought. Extra data for Zoom calls. Donations for them to see live concerts etc Special food. All sorts of things ...
Use those 'real stupid' for 'testing experiments' & they will find out it IS real.
How can you be tested for 5G!?
Testing for Coronavirus or DUI are necessary. Refusal should be supervised lockdown.
Easy to fix , lock up the ones who refuse the test in 5 star hotels & THEY pay until they are tested !
When did 'tests' become 'vaccines?' You can get the virus a day after having the test, and think you're in the clear. If you're asymptomatic (the majority of cases) you will spread it with NFI. Stop trying to shame people. It's not time for the anti vaxxer narrative.
testing also a way of collecting our DNA....people this is bigger than what you think....it's about surveilance, Chinese style intrusive and right down to the individual, and Aus Gov are part of the operation....
What percentage of virus denialists are LNC/LNP voters?
Lol.....may be a conspiracy, but every decade or so the world needs a reset and this is it.
The close the boarder totally GladysB that’s it they are not taking it seriously let’s keep us safe we have worked so hard as a state .
love to know where they got that figure from
Insane and selfish.
So why can’t we make the testing mandatory?! Is it that hard?
fine them, quarantine them, arrest them....
Conspiracy !! Are you joking ? People have died from this, or are the deaths around the world a conspiracy as well ? Stop watching American politics and believing that Trump fella. Aussie’s are supposed to be smarter then that.
strange with drink driving test it is compulsory but with covid it is optional Just a farce 1man went from Melb quarantine to Syd n to work at Syd Woolies thern shutting down the whole supermarket It was a total farce
We don't live in China. Or do we?
Testing should be compulsory, end of. Melbourne is my home town, very sad to see.
COVIDIOTS
Zuckerberg knows you can get rich selling ad space for the downfall of democracy. His giving Democracy the middle fingered determined to ride it out and keep cashing in.
Then close the border & let them infect each other
