Victorian Liberal MP Tim Smith says those in the state government “seem to be living in a parallel universe”.

Melbourne is set to come out of lockdown 11:59pm Thursday, with the state recording four new coronavirus cases overnight.

“This is costing hundreds of millions every day,” Mr Smith told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “There is no reason why this lockdown couldn’t have ended at 11:59pm last night.”

Tim Smith donutdick ?

So if Tim Smith was in Govt. he wouldn't follow the advice of the CHO and his team. Good to know.

He’s right. The parallel universe is reality. Tim Smith should try it some time.

I think it's called reality

Sutton can’t produce the medical evidence and gym closures because he made it up ! When are these people accountable for there lies .

Don't send him up here to Northern NSW . We have plenty of macadamia farms and if he finds there are applications for nut jobs he'll be in like Flynn .

If Tim Smith is your draw card that explains your Rag!

Amazing how many people clearly haven’t affected by 4 months of lockdown to think the government is doing a good job. We are dictated to by people who have zero knowledge of the private sector and have themselves a pay rise at the same time, that’s not the universe most live in

Missed today's presser, did Dim Sim Smith send any more inane questions to his go to media rep Rachelle Baxendale?

Vaccination levels, quarantine facilities will determine Victorian response to COVID outbreaks | Sky News AustraliaVictoria Acting Premier James Merlino says the government’s response to future COVID-19 outbreaks in the state will be determined by public vaccination levels and the construction of more purpose-built quarantine facilities. \n\nDespite recording four new cases overnight, health authorities confirmed the state is still on track for an easing of restrictions at midnight on Thursday with the exception that masks will be required in all outdoor settings. \n\nAsked if Victorians would be faced with a series of continuing lockdowns in the future, Mr Merlino said a highly vaccinated population would bring “more comfort” to public health in responding to outbreaks.\n\n“We are not out of this pandemic until we are in a position where we’ve successfully rolled out the Commonwealth’s vaccine program, and we have purpose-built quarantine facilities to deal with our highest risk individuals,” he told reporters.\n\n“The more people you get vaccinated, the more comfort public health have in the advice that they give to government, in terms of how we respond to an outbreak.\n\n“If we are in a position now where the population was vaccinated at a level where we should be … if we had purpose-built facilities, then we may well not have the public health advice in terms of the lockdown we are just moving out of as of midnight tonight.”\n AND there you have it! Put it on the citizens & the FEDS to save Victoria. uselessLABORuseless Labor are you using blackmail again for a push to vaccinate the public for a ‘non mandatory’ vaccine!!!!! Why were vaccinated people in lockdown then?
