Victorian Shadow Police Minister SouthwickMP says the Victorian government’s back down on detention powers within the controversial Omnibus bill is a “victory for Victorians in their fight for freedoms and democracy”.

Victorian Shadow Police Minister David Southwick says the Victorian government’s back down on detention powers within the controversial Omnibus bill is a “victory for Victorians in their fight for freedoms and democracy”.

The Omnibus bill, which is currently before Victoria’s upper house, sparked scrutiny because the state government’s extraordinary powers would allow the appointment of anyone as an authorised officer to arrest anyone they suspected of breaching the chief health officer’s orders. “The bill will still go before parliament, but Daniel Andrews has backflipped on some of the key issues,” Mr Southwick told Sky News host Peter Gleeson.

SouthwickMP It’s time for Dan to go. Dan Andrew’s the destroyer of the heart and soul and lives of all Victorians

SouthwickMP 2 minutes video no one should skip: Dr. Yan: the coronavirus was made in the lab to target human by the Chinese Communist Party!

SouthwickMP Wish he’d do a succession of gymnast like backflips until he ends up anywhere but Australia.

SouthwickMP If DA was doing the right thing then he wouldnt have to worry about his own industrial manslaughter laws, just sayin

SouthwickMP What about manslaughter exemptions

SouthwickMP Why is Matt Hancock, the UK Government and the NHS not following the science? - Proof they are not following the science is shown in this video - the question is : Why Are They Doing This ? - watch the video

SouthwickMP Well, we’ve not yet been saved from socialism or the communist chinese threat posed by DanielAndrewsMP

SouthwickMP More than likely the back down is because it wasn't going to get the cross bench support. Then there's the lies and credibility catching up with Andrews. And the powers are totally unnecessary. fuckoffdan

SouthwickMP What about this?

SouthwickMP

SouthwickMP Is anyone else glad that, no matter all the other shit..... Bill Shorten didn't win? I wouldn't have been able to deal with a deep state controlled Australia. Eugh Sky... Is it declassified time yet!?

Andrew Crisp's corrected testimony to COVID inquiry is a 'serious problem': Credlin | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp was required under law to continually brief his ministers which means his corrected testimony showing there was no briefing “is a serious problem for him'.\n\nMs Credlin discussed Mr Crisp’s correction with Sky News Senior Reporter Andrea Crothers. \n\n“Initially, the Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp had told the state committee - this parliamentary inquiry into the government's response to COVID-19 - that he did brief the police minister and the Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville in the days leading up to the hotel quarantine scheme being launched,” Ms Crothers said. \n\n“Today we’ve seen a pretty big backflip.\n\n“Six weeks later, he’s penned a letter to that committee saying he wishes to change his evidence, that he didn’t in fact, brief Lisa Neville at all about these plans.\n\nMs Crothers said Premier Daniel Andrews wouldn’t weigh in “on whether it would be pretty bizarre and odd for a commissioner not to be briefing a minister about such critical plans in response to COVID-19”.\n\nMs Credlin said 'Crisp is required under law in Victoria, to continually brief his minister'. \n\n“It’s not a nice to do, it’s not an official protocol, he is required under law.\n\n“Surely, if he’ required under law, and he’s now admitting to a parliamentary inquiry - having changed his evidence - that he wasn’t briefing her as he once told her he was, that is a serious problem.”\n\n“It’s a serious problem for him, it could potentially be breaking the law, and I think it’s a question very much for the premier tomorrow, very much a question for the police.”\n\n\n\n I cross the street = $1500 fine This crap = This from the architect of the great carbon tax lie!

Detention powers dropped from Victoria's coronavirus omnibus billThe Victorian Government drops controversial clauses in its omnibus bill which would have allowed it to give anyone the power to detain another person they suspected would breach health directives. So you ok with the section on industrial manslaughter laws? So this government gets away with not being made accountable if u agree to this. Say NO to bill end of it we want justice. Good! It’s disturbing that these psychopaths even considered it.

Australia faces ‘astonishing bill’ yet fewer than 300 people sick with coronavirus | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says the figure which was left out of this year’s federal budget was that fewer than 300 Australians who are sick with COVID-19 at the moment.\n\nTreasurer Josh Frydenberg, during Tuesday’s delivery of the federal budget, announced Australia’s net debt will hit $966 billion in 2024 as a result of the government’s COVID-19 economic recovery.\n\nMeanwhile the coronavirus response will see the budget deficit blow out o $213.7 billion this year, but will fall to $66.9 billion, according to the treasurer.\n\n“The other figure which wasn’t in the budget was that around Australia there are fewer than 300 people who are sick right now with the virus,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“You have to think, how big was this overreaction, and now we see the enormous bill, it’s just astonishing to me.”\n 1 trillion dollar debt lol what a future 🙄 The containment policy worked. Good point Andrew. Hope you saw this, asleep at the wheel.

Andrews maintains new cluster won't derail future reopening plans | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews says Victorians shouldn't lose sight of the fact cases have remained low when 'not so long ago' the government was reporting 725 cases, suggesting the lastest Chadstone cluster would not derail further plans for opening up.\n\n'Numbers are very important but the narrative that sits behind the numbers is equally important when we get down to these very small numbers. Chance does play a much larger part,' Mr Andrews said.\n\n'We're going to respond to it appropriately. I can't tell how many more cases come out of it tomorrow or the day after. I wouldn't be thinking about things in those terms.\n\n'We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that we're under 10 for the first time. We've got 206 active cases. We're reporting six new cases today, four of which are linked to known outbreaks, two of which we should close out hopefully very, very quickly.'\n\nMr Andrews said the lockdown strategy was working and its success was pinned to whether symptomatic people came forward for testing over the coming weeks.\n\n'In broad terms, it is possible we get a number that is higher than our target number but we have certainty and a degree of comfort about the story that sits behind those cases,' he said.\n\n'If you're essentially going about a COVID-normal life and you've got symptoms, you'll come into contact with others or you will be in contact with someone else who is in contact with others because they're permitted workers; things of that nature.' DanielAndrewsMP No derail sounds good, but we want to know also the speed and direction. I really hope is forward and faster than lightning. DanielAndrewsMP Victorians should also not lose sight of the fact that it’s the labor government’s inability to effectively manage hotel quarantine that we are in this mess still while the rest of Australia are not DanielAndrewsMP Yes we have all done a great job cleaning up the quarantine second wave mess this mob created.
