Sky News host Chris Smith says Victoria has presented itself as a “runaway train with no brakes” after recording more than 310 cases in the past 24 hours. It comes as the federal government announced an unemployment rate of 7.4 per cent, the worst rate in 22 years.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics said 992,000 Australians are now formally unemployed, with the underemployment figures expected to be much higher. “They tell us today that almost one million people are unemployed. That’s the worst number since we began calculating this in 1978,” Mr Smith said.

Victoria Health’s COVID-19 testing rule ‘is plainly wrong and must change’ | Sky News AustraliaThere is one rule currently imposed by the Victorian Health Department which is “plainly wrong and needs to change” according to Sky News host Sharri Markson. \n\nOn Wednesday, Ms Markson reported the Victorian Health Department has been “turning people away” from receiving coronavirus tests after employees at a Melbourne McDonalds were refused tests after coming into contact with a person who contracted the virus.\n\nShe said the Health Department replied on Wednesday evening, confirming a person 'can't get tested if they’re asymptomatic' unless for certain circumstances.\n\nThe Victorian Department of Health stated asymptomatic testing is currently only recommended for people associated with an outbreak, returned travellers, and close contacts of known cases on or close to day 11 following their last exposure to the case, Ms Markson said. \n\n“We know you can be infected with COVID-19 - and spread it - even if you don't have symptoms,” Ms Markson said. \n\n“This rule from the Victorian Health Department is plainly wrong and needs to change”. \n\nMs Markson spoke about the issue with Liberal MP Katie Allen who said this situation “just seems extraordinary”. \n\n“Quite frankly I am shocked,” Ms Allen said. \n\nImage: Getty SharriMarkson Really I’d trust a doctor SharriMarkson 'Ms Markson spoke about the issue with Liberal MP Katie Allen...' How is that helping anybody? You spoke to a politician that offered no opinion than... “Quite frankly I am shocked,” Ms Allen said. Your interest is political only. That is just as shocking.

PM praises NSW response to COVID-19 cluster | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison says while Australia should not be locked down, the lockdowns are appropriate in Victoria, which has suffered “a big setback” in the fight against COVID-19.\n\n“The Victorian situation is very concerning, but we are hopeful is those figures starting to level out,” he said.\n\n“As the effects of the lockdown kick in, hopefully we see new case numbers.\n\nMr Morrison praised the response by the New South Wales government in its handling of a COVID-19 cluster at the Crossroads Hotel in Casula.\n\n“That demonstrates in New South Wales how effectively the states can respond to this, and the best protection to live alongside the virus and to open up your economy — you don’t protect your economy by continually shutting things down,” Mr Morrison said.\n\n“That’s what you have to do when things get to the point they have in Victoria. \n\n“But you can continue to move forward in the way that New South Wales is demonstrating by building that capability for tracing and testing and so on, and that’s been quite effective in this case, and hopefully we will see that situation continue to improve as well.\n \n“But as we know there are no guarantees.”\n ScottMorrisonMP Stay in NSW indefinitely Morrison, you smug dolt. ScottMorrisonMP Lockdowns are unnecessary if you are Australian, but don't go far enough if you are a state Labor govt that Murdoch puppets want to kick
