Firstly, our team was unencumbered by financial contracts. There was no financial nor other employee-employer relationship that influenced us to deliver DHHS a "preferred" solution. On such critical work, the arms-length freedom to agree and disagree with government in the collaborative process of model building is paramount.

As illustrated by the nature of the criticism our group has received, knowledge creation in the health sciences — and recognition of the authority of the knowledge creators — reflects the hierarchical nature of institutional medicine where challenges to authority are rare. Surely this is the antithesis of an enquiry-based culture upon which good science depends?

Just like a football team that has never won a premiership but believes it could, we emphasise that if a strategy is set and a process is followed, we have a great chance of a win. In this circumstance, the team was Victoria, the process was what we all just did for one another, and the win is getting our lives back.

Maybe now we can stop hearing from Catherine Bennett who seemed wrong at every turn.

Epic fail!

Thanks for destroying people's livelihoods, causing mental illness and suicides in the name of a mostly harmless illness.

Congrats on an excellent job guys and gals.

Really? Where were they when 800 died?

what a load of bs

Pfffft... they predicted what nature always does... the numbers drop off naturally... always has always will.... No matter the method, the curves are basically all the same.. it is not the method just the natural world doing its thing🤷‍♀️

Wow. With all that street cred they're in a lot of trouble for talking up what's now being pursued as a Crime against Humanity. I've seen nudge nits already rebranding their qualitative 'highly theoretical' model agency trash. Need any links happy to give

These are seriously clever people. Thankfully they were asked to participate.

How come you are not ashamed?

Fantastic work. Incredibly accurate too.

Way too soon for this type of hyperbole.

You mean the model that kept Melbourne in lockdown event with a handful of cases. 🧐

The half sleeve shirt guy will get coronavirus if somebody else has virus as he didn’t wear the mask inside the building.

This is awesome, I hope the work is being shared with communities elsewhere around the world. Only Science and Maths can get us out of this hole. Dodgy journalism and petty politics will just keep digging us deeper... COVIDVIC19 auspol MurdochFreeMelbourne

I didn't see you being all that helpful.

Please collect your certificate of participation by the door.

It's a virus, & quite a contagious one at that. You can't 'conquer' it. It's gone nowhere. Lucky it's of zero consequence to the vast majority, flu more deadly to those u/70. Pull this lockdown lunacy again, w/ the grave harm it entails & we'll know u really are bad ppl.

FFS you dont need a model for common sense.

OPINION: The ABC is now the CNN of Australian news when it come to reporting fully on the corruption allegations against Ukraine-Beijing Joe Biden, utterly shameful, weep for the ABC 😪.

Nice work VicGovDHHS

OH shut the hell up! NEVER should of happened but a incompetent government stuffed up and Victorians had to fix their fuck up! which cost jobs, business gone broke, life's destroyed but u keep celebrating the achievement!

Vic Labor = 90% of Australian COVID19 deaths... You would almost think the Labor goons had shares in funeral homes.

France and Germany plunge back into lockdown as second coronavirus wave sweeps EuropeFrance and Germany have been ordered back into lockdown, as a massive second wave of coronavirus infections threatened to overwhelm Europe before the winter. Obviously none of the European leaders or health teams have been to Victoria Australia to study what DanielAndrewsMP & his team have done. . . . Oh wait! VicGovDHHS Won't see that mentioned on SKY News Australia...... although the SKY News UK is covering it as they are more balanced in their reporting than the loonies we have at SKY Aus. IStandWithDan auspol This virus has killed 60 bazillion people. Death rate is 99.99% and we should lock ourselves in our bathrooms for the rest of our lives.

Belgian hospitals forced into 'bad decision' of using doctors infected with COVID-19COVID-positive doctors and nurses are continuing to work in Belgian hospitals as a fresh wave of the pandemic creates an 'impossible' situation for the country's medical system. Just reflecting on all the journalists who wrote column after column saying how we should look to Europe/UK as a model for how to ‘manage COVID’.... But at least they cured the flu, 98% reduction in in numbers and flu death. Victoria should be able to rebuild the economy in short time by selling our Covid 19 expertise overseas.
