Victorian premier to get 'huge sweep of power' to declare lockdowns under new billThe Victorian premier will be given the authority to declare pandemics and have public health orders enforced for three months at a time, under proposed new laws. This is highly misleading & inaccurate. The quote is from a Vic Lib MP & the story says the opposite of what the misleading tweet says. Please report factual information rather than sensationalise. This legislation is the same as other jurisdictions. ThisIsNotJournalism Dan signed Belt Road Initiative with the Chinese Communist Party’s Foreign Minister who has been proactively supporting UN-listed terrorist group Taliban, it’s very suspicious for him to demand more power and control in the name of pandemic. Link with the CCP? Not a surprise. But realise that, a Liberal could use the same powers in the future. Well done.

Advice to be public, safeguards for check-in data under new pandemic lawsThe state’s chief health officer will no longer have the final say on how Victoria handles a pandemic, an independent committee will scrutinise key government decisions, and public health advice will be consistently made public under a bill to be tabled... What do these 3 get in return for providing Dan with absolute control? Remember when brothels were open and playgrounds were closed? Former leader of the SexParty Fiona Patton ensured it. By siding with the socialist megalomaniac, they serve minority interest and cripple Vic. let us not forget this bill doesn't do anything if the health budget and deliverables remains inadequate. if the hospital funding and ICU capacity are not increased, ain't we back to square one, protect the health system. “We’re taking it further..” You sure are! You’re wanting power to target “CLASSES OF PEOPLE” This should horrify everyone..
