Sky News host Alan Jones says the “know-all dictator” Daniel Andrews has overseen the most savage response in the world causing the most savage devastation, both financial and non-financial. Mr Jones said his “heart bleeds” for Victorians as up to 1.3 million are expected to be on JobKeeper in the December quarter while contributing 723 of the country’s 816 deaths.
“If this know-all dictator continues to get his way, Melbourne won’t reopen unless there is a 14-day daily average of fewer than five cases. “He has been wrong on everything. Wrong on quarantine. Wrong on modelling. Wrong on lockdowns. Wrong on the response to the mess he created. “This is the most savage response anywhere in the world and the most savage devastation, financial and non-financial.

Australia potentially relying on foreign rice production is ‘laughable’: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says the imminent collapse of Australia’s rice industry is purely a metaphor for a wider problem.\n\nIt was revealed on Monday, Australia’s total rice production is down 80 per cent.\n\nThe Chief Executive of Sunrice – one of Australia’s biggest rice producers – said the country is at risk of running out of rice by Christmas, as the company slashed a third of its workforce.\n\nMr Jones said this has been “an ongoing disgrace,” pointing the finger at the growing issue of Australian water allocation as a primary cause.\n\nAustralian farmers have not only had to suffer through drought, but given the nature of private water holdings, some have been unable to access the necessary resource to continue production.\n\n“We have the most productive and the most efficient rice industry in the world,” Mr Jones said.\n\n“The issue today is whether or not we’re going to maintain supply here by importing from Vietnam.\n\n“We’ll face the problem of having to import food from overseas.

Premier Andrews $3b support package is 'propaganda' and 'no real solution' | Sky News AustraliaRestaurateur Chris Lucas says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrew’s recent announcement of a business support package is just 'more spin, more rhetoric, and more propaganda' but offers no real solution.\n\nVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Sunday a $3 billion support package for businesses in the state in a bid to keep them afloat during the lockdowns. \n\nBusiness leaders say the stimulus package won’t even touch the sides, given how hard the premier’s lockdown measures have hit businesses in Melbourne. \n\n'Worse still, the support he offered last time hasn’t even yet been delivered,' Sky News host Peta Credlin said.\n\n“These announcements are no different to what’s been going on for the last months, it’s more spin and more rhetoric, more propaganda, but no real solutions quite frankly,” Mr Lucas told Sky News. \n\n“The $3 billion headline figure, $1.8 billion of it is deferred payroll tax, which quite frankly most small businesses in Victoria at the moment are probably not paying anyway because they haven’t been open for the last seven months.\n\n“So you know, there’s just no real solutions here and quite frankly I think everyone’s getting sick of the spin.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia

Daniel Andrews is an 'elected dictator, and nobody can control him' | Sky News AustraliaJim Penman, founder of Jim’s Group, says for Premier Daniel Andrews to claim that opening pet grooming services while keeping private lawn mowing companies closed has anything to do with health is 'garbage ... this is grubby, rotten politics.”\n\nVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Sunday pet grooming services would be able to operate, despite the fact that bars, restaurants, and private lawn mowing services could still not run.\n\n“What health expert in the world is going to say that taking your dog to a salon where you’ve got multiple people working is more safe than having it done at your own home privately,” Mr Penman told Sky News Paul Murray.\n\n“Absolutely ludicrous.\n\n“If there’s one explanation only, it’s basically a grubby a political deal with Andy Meddick of the Animal Welfare league who’s given the premier six months more of dictatorial power.\n\n“To claim this is anything to do with health is garbage, this is grubby, rotten politics.”\n\nPremier Daniel Andrews will not let private lawnmowers work, having declared them a non-essential service, he has however, been allowing council lawnmowers and gardeners to continue working.\n\n“He’s refused to give a justification, he’s refused to explain why council gardeners can work safely in groups, and our guys can’t work singularly doing the same job,” Mr Penman said. \n\n“This is not health, this is politics, this is nasty, grubby, power grabbing politics by a man who cares nothing for the health of his community.”\n\nMr Penman added that the $3 billion stimulus package given businesses by the government was a “sick joke”.\n\n“(Premier Daniel Andrew) throws us out of work, destroys our businesses for no reason, no reason at all, no benefit to the public health, tosses us a few dollars and we’re expected to say ‘oh thank you wonderful premier’,” he said. \n\n“This is absolutely obscene.\n\n“I can’t tell you how furious I am at what’s going on.\n\n“I cannot believe we’ve got this elected dictator, and

Restaurants, cafes are not 'high risk settings': Andrews | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has admitted restaurants and pubs are not “high risk” settings but insists they need to remain closed while the coronavirus is still present in the community. \n\n“They are closed because it would only mean more virus if we allowed their customers, many hundreds of thousands, indeed millions of people, to freely move around metro Melbourne,” he said. \n\nWhen questioned as to whether there was evidence of higher infection levels when hospitality venues were open, Mr Andrews said there was actually a greater risk of transmission while dining “at a mate’s place”. \n\n“There is no time limit, there is no waiter making sure we keep our distance. There is not necessarily all the kind of infection control, cleaning tables, cleaning common areas, all of those things,” he said. \n\n“Our publicans, our cafes, restaurants and others have done a fantastic job and I am confident they will when we open up.”\n\nImage: AP\n

New modelling advice suggests Dan Andrews should 'redo the roadmap' | Sky News AustraliaHealth Minister Greg Hunt says new advice from the University of Melbourne has given the Andrews government the opportunity to “redo the roadmap” and set “achievable targets”.\n\nThe Health Minister told Sky News academics from the university have indicated modelling produced by the institution should not be used to “justify zero cases as the basis for the roadmap”.\n\n“They’ve encouraged Victoria to redo the roadmap,” Mr Hunt said.\n\n“I think the improvement in contact tracing and the statements from the University of Melbourne mean we really have the opportunity now to work with Victoria, for them to work with the business community and the academic and medical community'. \n\nMr Hunt also said the Victorian government had finally adopted measures proposed by the Commonwealth which included working with NSW to develop an automated streamlined contact tracing system and the introduction of local public health units.\n\nThese new measures “increase the ability to give people back hope, to give people back freedoms and movements and therefore to support their mental health,” he said.\n\nImage: Getty
