The Andrews government has faced three court challenges over lost work as a result of the state's second wave measures. Small business owner Michelle Loielo launched a Supreme Court writ claiming the controversial curfew was disproportionate, unreasonable and a violation of human rights. Ms Loielo said lockdowns were responsible for a 99 per cent loss in her revenue.
A separate class action was launched on behalf of retrenched workers who claimed their job losses were a direct result of Victoria's lockdown measures. The lead plaintiff - a 21-year-old warehouse worker - claimed stage four restrictions were imposed as a direct result of hotel quarantine failures made by the Andrews government. The court challenges join another class action launched last month.

He should face charges of treason against the Victorian people.
Just wonder if these people would be doing this if they had lost a close family member due to COVID

Taking it way too far. Let the economy recover now. Stop harassing citizens. Protect the elderly and those with pre existing illnesses. That's it. You can't stop people dying from a flu. Gov never cared about this every winter, huh! How many people dying from abuse & suicide? 👀
