Australians not living in Victoria cannot possibly fathom how “barking mad this place is” or how mad its government has become, according to Andrew Bolt.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced easing of restrictions on Sunday including the abolition of the 8pm curfew, however Victorians are still not allowed to travel further than five kilometres from their homes, with restrictions still in place for schools and most of the workforce. Mr Bolt said Melbourne still suffers through “the world’s worst lockdown” even though there were only 10 new infections on Tuesday and only five on Monday.

So much suffering, but instead of working out how to fight the virus in a less disastrous way, our Premier and his advisors spend hours designing the most pointless bans,” he said. “I swear, Andrews and his advisors just make up these rules, like the curfew. They dropped that one only after a court made them hand over the documents they relied on for that call. “This is insane for God's sake.

I smell a rat. Was the reason why Dan didn't sack the three heads of dept for not passing on information because if he did they might have remembered what really did occur and we may of heard the truth.

Would be very happy if Bolt moves somewhere he feels more comfortable. Suggesting any of Saudi Arabia, Russia, or Belarus would suit his preferences. And pretty sure folk would donate to help him move and stay out too.

Its pretty insane to be honest, one of the states most prominent media personalities is whining endless about golf while another not too long ago went on the air and defended a teacher “hitting on” a student weeks after defending a senior clergy who protected paedophiles. Insane

So who is Andrew Bolt backing in the upcoming VicPol LibSpill? Being a Liberal sycophant he must have great insider knowledge on who the favourites are to win...

Insanity! Even nuttier than the Marxist Left,here in America!

We live in Victoria & are in the Melbourne lockdown area. It hasn’t been fun but we fully understand why it has been necessary. Didn’t vote for DanielAndrewsMP but would if he stands next time.

Everybody stop breathing so that DanielAndrewsMP can save face. He has shut everything in Victoria except his mouth. The only thing spreading now is his ego.

HERE ARE SKY NEWS MEDICAL ADVISERS

I thought it was Chris Kenny that was a fan of dogs.

When was the last time Sky reported on the 2 Aussie infants aged 2&4 being held in detention since August 2019! Doesn’t bother anyone at Sky this is happening!

Just went shopping at 9 pm for first time since beginning of August. Two other people in the supermarket. Made me think: why reduced trading hours, wouldn't extended hours have been safer; fewer people in shops ? Locked in after dark for 2 months. Curfew was SO wrong 🤔

Not mad, just following orders.. Andrews is a puppet.

You're right, I can't comprehend how low Sky News goes for money.

The world is amazed how well this pandemic has been beaten back by Victorians with some leadership. This is what happens when you listen to skilled professionals and do the work. Not just whine and whinge. Well done VIC! You’ve shown the US, UK and Europe how to deal with C19.

Who will investigate elderly deaths in aged care, when this is over? Elderly in their own homes are not experiencing covid taged deaths, hospitals are profiteering from elderly dying of pre-existing conditions...

I have lots of family and friends in NSW and they don't get it at all. Unless you living under this tyrant people can not imagine what it feels like

Andrew Bolt - keep it up Sir !!

Congratulations Victoria - you brought the infection numbers down from over 700 a day to single figures! A model for other places in the world.

Only barking i hear is is BOLT

Maybe Victorians got what they voted for

I'm from Vic and still have most of my family there and they disagree with this muppet.

Andrew who?

Totally batshit crazy

The Pope ‘needs George Pell back’ to clean up the Vatican: Andrew Bolt | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says despite not being offered a job, Cardinal George Pell should be given a role in “cleaning up the Vatican” amid the resignation of a senior Cardinal.\n\nCardinal Pell will return to the Vatican this week after nearly three years away following his imprisonment and then release from jail, having his convictions overturned on child sexual abuse charges.\n\nThe Cardinal – who was put in charge of cleaning up corruption in the Vatican - is apparently only returning to empty his Vatican apartment, but there is no return date to Australia.\n\nIt comes as Cardinal Angelo Becciu has been forced to resign after reportedly engaging in numerous dodgy financial deals.\n\nBecciu denies any wrongdoing.\n\n“Now it's Pell who is free and Becciu who has fallen,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“I understand the Pope has not offered him a job, but the Pope's authority has been rocked by this scandal.\n\n“It would make sense to show he's serious about fighting corruption by giving Pell some role on cleaning up the Vatican where Pell still has a lot of prestige.\n\n“Pell returns to Rome and the Vatican and while he may not want a new job, his church needs him.\n\n“It is the time for all good men in the Vatican to step up. And Pell – for all the attempts to destroy him in the media in Australia and in Melbourne in particular – Pell is one of the good guys.”\n Good call Bolt. I thought you despised child ritual sexual abuse and judicial cover-ups, obviously not. Pell referees...Howard, Abbott, Bolt. Filthy traitors. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bolt is taking the piss... surely?

The Victorian government has 'broken all rights to stay in office': Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says the Victorian government, by it’s own standards, has broken all rights to stay in office. \n\nHis comment comes after it was revealed 768 people contracted and died of COVID-19 as a result of the spread of the virus through mismanagement of hotel quarantine. \n\nMr Murray said the Andrews government had “passed laws which said the suits in the boardrooms of Melbourne would be held personally responsible if someone died as a result of a safety problem on a construction site.”\n\n“Well, 760 people have died as a result of the decision not to put police or the ADF on guard in those hotel rooms,” he said. \n\nMr Murray said Daniel Andrews had sat in National Cabinet, where other states discussed what they were doing to manage the virus. \n\n“For some reason, he never realised or ever brought it up that Victoria was doing something different - and Victoria was doing something different because the police said they didn’t want to do the job,” he said. \n\n“Ministers did not question that decision.\n\n“The premier did not question that decision.\n\n“768 people are dead as a result of that decision.\n\n“The same parliament, the same cabinet, the same ministers, the same premier, who passed a law that said, if you’re a suit, in that building company, you’ll be personally responsible if someone dies on your watch.\n\n“Well what does accountability mean when its 768 people premier.”\n Spot on Paul brilliant repot 工党果然不靠谱!被共匪一呆一撸给撸的美着呢,等着下台吧…… 100% correct!.

Victorians 'so close' to seeing a 'really big step': Andrews | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews has urged Victorians to “keep following the rules” as the state is “so close” to moving towards a 'really big step'.\n\nMelburnians woke this morning under eased restrictions after the Andrews government lifted the controversial curfew across the city as part of a dump of easing some coronavirus measures. \n\nIn order for Melbourne to move to the next step, the daily case increase will need to be five or less consistently for a fortnight, with five or less mystery cases. \n\nMr Andrews said on Monday the state is 'so close to being able to take a really big step toward that COVID-normal'.\n\n“Keep doing the right thing, keep making that profound and critical contribution to these numbers getting low and staying low,' he said. \n\n“If we continue to make smart choices, then we will see this thing off. \n\nIf, however, any of us, and it can be very small numbers, if we start doing things that we know deep down are not the right thing to do, then we can put at risk everything that we've built, everything that Victorians have given. \n\n'I don't want that to happen and I'm confident that it won't, because I think that people can see that this is working and all of us can see that we are so, so close to defeating this second wave.'\n DanielAndrewsMP Daniel Andrews should mind his own business and start out of mine.

Financial bail-outs need to go from government thinking | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Cory Bernardi says businesses and consumers need to take more responsibility for their spending and loaning.\n\nMr Benardi said the last time the “world was going to end” and governments scrambled to save Australians was the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. \n\n“The effective cause of the GFC was irresponsible home loans by US banks to the unemployed and the unemployable under the guise of 'fairness and equity'.,' Mr Bernardi said.\n\n“These sub-prime mortgages were packaged up and on sold to investors. \n\n“When they collapsed, many institutional investors, like the investment banks, were then bailed out by taxpayers.”\n\nMr Bernardi said then Prime Minister Kevid Rudd introduced responsible lending laws to respond to the failures of the credit system. \n\nThese laws, however, gave banks the responsibility of ensuring their clients repay their borrowings, at risk of being held liable for the borrowers default. \n\n“The government has now abandoned the Rudd era responsible lending laws in a bid to inject a shot of credit adrenaline into our economy,” he said.\n\n“Now I am for more deregulation…as long as only the two parties to the transaction are the only one's held responsible for any negative outcomes.\n\n“The credit victim mentality has to stop. \n\n“If you want less regulation and more freedom, there also needs to be more responsibility.” \n Cory Bernardi? You’re quoting that clown on anything? 🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣 LiveSundayWord The Messiah is coming 메시아께서 오십니다 2020년 9월 27일 한국어 생방송 So should the Canberra politicians, interesting that they seem to be avoiding the idea of a federal ICAC as much as possible.
