Begged for the Navy during bushfire season and now pleads for the army from Morrison. Andrews is the leader of Victoria. Time to lead in Crisis. What's going on?

How about we just get ALP Vic. out of there and replace them with a competent Government instead.

Love the picture. 'See that place. THAT is Victoria. We're going there. HOWEVER, watch your backs, THAT THERE, IS FCUCKED!' ......... 'That is all'.

So they can hold another BLM rally?

Shoot toilet roll hoarders on sight.

Female opportunity ADF job listing 'simply a marketing error' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal MP Andrew Hastie says the ADF simply wants people who 'are capable (and) are prepared to fight for our country and defend us'.\n\nHe said he he would put a recent ADF job listing which was advertised as being a 'female opportunity' as simply 'down to a marketing error'. \n\n'By the guidelines, men and women can apply for any job in the ADF and I would encourage them to do so,' Mr Hastie told Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\n'In the end we just want people who are capable, who are prepared to fight for our country and defend us'. \n\n'And that's all that matters'. \n\nThe job listing for the Royal Australian Navy was advertised as 'Marine Technician - Female Opportunity'. National Service 🇬🇧 Marketing error? It's been defence force recruitment strategy for several years now.

ADF ‘want to play gender and identity games’ with latest advertisement | Sky News AustraliaThere is something “crook” about a new ADF job listing that is 'clearly designed' to attract female applicants as opposed to being an open opportunity for all says Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nThe Australian Navy recently posted a position advertising for a “Marine Technician – Female Opportunity”. \n\n“Just too bad if you happen to be a bloke who needs that job, and might be perfect for it, you see the ad, and think it's not available to you”. \n\n“Just because the ADF want to play all the gender and identity games, tick all the boxes, it doesn't mean they should treat blokes so poorly.\n\n“Here's an idea, just run an ad for the job at hand, and leave gender and identity right out of it.”\n This comment is for comrade Nick that brings his opinions at sky news on win channel. The red army managed by Stalin and his generals suffered on top of utter poverty the loss of 20m Russian during ww2. 20m were put all in front line as dead meat. Get your reality check It all comes down to available billets on ships, due to the ship design. Nothing to do with sexism. You would scream blue murder if your daughter/ son had to shower/get changed in a shared mess. When you see some of the ADF TV ads, they're almost screaming out 'MEN NEED NOT APPLY!!!'

Stay-at-home orders for Victoria's coronavirus hotspots under 'active consideration'Victorian authorities weigh up reimposing stay-at-home directions for coronavirus hotspots across Melbourne's north and south-east, as the state's sharp rise in cases hits interstate employment. Good luck, just fine me now. I’m not going to be locked up at home again, because a select few didn’t follow the rules. We are paying for return travellers to stay in hotels, do the same thing for positive cases and let the rest of us move on with our lives. Unless you’re a BLM protester then you just go out and spread COVID19 because it’s the trendy thing to do. Don’t worry about stuffing up peoples lives and the economy. DanielAndrewsMP you coward. Black Lives Matter protests Coincidence? Incubation period for coronavirus is up to14 days 7 June Active cases 457 16 June ‘’ ‘’ 382 23 June ‘’ ‘’ 469 PS: Anthony Albanese Labor MPs attended & supported the Black Lives Matter protests

After following the rules for months the Victorian public watched the govt & authorities stand back & let 30,000 protest in close contact without restrictions or fines. It’s on the Andrew’s govt.
