What’s clear is there is no longer ‘science’ behind decisions. It’s all politics and gross incompetence. Sutton is not qualified for the job, has resorted to fear mongering, ‘the beast’ is his own stupidity

If I drive 25km & my friend drives 25km making a 50km radius within metro melb is this OK? if YES, how does the 25km lockdown make any sense for metro melb?

Well done Victoria

Lockdown restrictions in Melbourne and regional Victoria will ease from this FridayLockdown restrictions will be eased in Melbourne and regional Victoria from 11.59pm this Thursday, authorities have confirmed. Where’s Dan? Victorians want real answers. This is crap! If you aren’t going to lift restrictions on all industries offer financial aid to those going now on 3 weeks no pay Makes no sense for regional Vic to even have restrictions right now, esp. since Melburnians are not allowed to venture out farther than 10km from home now and 25km from Friday.
