The Washington Post has joined the litany of people and organisations asking why Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is still popular, even jumping on and labelling the embattled state leader a dictator, says Sky News host James Morrow. “Now one of the wokest papers in the world, they wonder the same question that everyone around the world is wondering; why is he still popular,” Mr Morrow said.
An article in the Washington Post posed the question why Mr Andrews is still popular even after draconian lockdowns. “Australia’s coronavirus ‘dictator’ enforces a drastic lockdown. He’s still popular,” the article was headed. It comes as the Andrews government is expected to introduce sweeping new powers for public servants giving them the authority if authorised officers with the ability to indefinitely detain Victorians.
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork He isn’t popular he’s a complete arse
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork The government should reduce or stop jobkeepers in Victoria and see how many people stand with him.
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Who cares! Washington Post has no relevance to the people of Australia, let alone Victorians!
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Err, I think you’ll find washingtonpost was quoting the rhetoric, not adopting it. 👇 COVID19Vic
RustyJa50780931 DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Oh... so many swinging votes now can’t stand the man. He has a solid group or communist and socialists and those working in the public service but others want him gone with a passion. People who were apathetic now can’t stand him nor trust him
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork DictatorDan
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Why is it that more than 700 people have lost their lives in Victoria due to the breakdown in Hotel Quarantine by the Andrews Govt and NO ONE is held to account. As proven so far by the Inquiry it’s negligence... Who will be held to account?
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Most dictators are popular!!
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Scamdemic dans days are numbered. His relentless uneducated narrative and taking secret payments from the billionaires club is about to be exposed.

DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Maybe when they curb the hundreds & thousands of deaths plus put out half the country thats on fire? Oh & get rid of the biggest joke of a leader in modern history? THEN we might listen to thier 'leadership' views. Until then USAisaJokeOkay?
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork I think you’ll find that, as a rule, dictators tend to kill lots of people, not try to save as many lives as possible.
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork No-one has ever asked me what I think, so I don't know where people get their 'overwhelming' majority of support numbers from. A very small, targeted group of people I would say?
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork The Washington Post is a Trump Supporter. Says Everything with a Rightwing Bias.
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork DanielAndrewsMP he's not popular at all, its the crazy minority that support him, those people who don't let their kids ride bikes because they are too dangerous.
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Answer is clear and quite simple, saving lives is always popular.
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork There are many who history will show need to apologise to Victoria and Dan .
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork It’s a pity that these days people don’t know or seem to care the real meaning of words. Dictator is a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained control by force.
DanielAndrewsMP pwafork Who says he is popular. Not sure what rubbish poll you are relying on. What are they polling the western suburbs of a Melb are they.

COVID-19 strategy is 'working': Daniel Andrews | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews says his government’s strategy is “working” as the state recorded its lowest daily caseload in close to three months.\n\nThe state announced 21 new cases and seven deaths on Saturday.\n\n“Those numbers tell a powerful story of what can be achieved when you stay the course,” Mr Andrews said.\n\n“When you don’t get sidetracked by some of the loudest voices, who I understand are hurting and want to open up, we would all like to open up as quickly as possible, but we won’t be open for very long if we don’t first get these numbers down to a low level.\n\n“And I think I would say to everyone watching and listening right now logic, common sense, international experience, our own experience shows us that you can’t hope to keep numbers low until you first get them low.\n\n“That is just an undeniable fact. \n\n“And if we were to open up far too early some would be pleased, but they would be pleased for a short period of time, because we would simply be closed again not long thereafter.”\n\nThere are currently 834 active cases across the state, with 806 of those in metropolitan Melbourne. Sure Dan. Would only need to go back into lockdown if the incompetent health department didn’t do their job (again) It's working to destroy Victoria, that's for sure. How much has DictatorDan's lust for power cost us?

Andrews praises Victorians after drop in COVID cases | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has praised Victorians for sticking to the tough COVID-19 restrictions, after the state only recorded 14 new cases and five deaths over the past 24 hours.\n\nAccording to Premier Andrews, nine of the new cases are linked to known clusters and the deaths included four people in their eighties and one in their nineties.\n\n“We are, thanks to the hard work of every single Victorian, the vast, vast majority of Victorians who are following the rules, doing the right thing, getting tested as soon as they have symptoms,” Mr Andrews said.\n\n“That's why we're seeing the numbers come down and that's why we will continue to see them come down in accordance with our road map to COVID-normal. \n\n“There will, of course, always be debates about timing and whether we're on schedule, ahead of schedule, all of those things. \n\n“Ultimately, these numbers are cause for great optimism and a positivity, I would hope, right across Metropolitan Melbourne, just as regional Victoria this week has taken two big steps to open up and we're seeing stability in those numbers.”\n\nThere are 94 people currently in hospital in Victoria with Covid-19.\n From DHHS website today. See the adjusted deaths DanielAndrewsMP DanielAndrewsMP The cult of Sad-Face Dan. When numbers go down Sad-Face claims his insane approach is working, if they go up he claims he needs to destroy us even more. Either way Sad-Face (and his fans) uses numbers to justify nuttery. Sad-Face always claims victory, while we are defeated.
