Sky News host Paul Murray says Melbourne will have to endure a 112 day lockdown for 661 deaths, while Italy had 35,524 deaths and a 58 day lockdown and London saw 41,549 people die and their lockdown only went for 104 days.
“This doesn’t make any sense,” Mr Murray said. Mr Murray said in France, the health minister announced on Sunday the country’s worst day for cases so far with 8,975 in one day but said there would be no lockdown because a lockdown was just a lid on an overflowing cooking pot.
“Victoria, you have to wait to October for chance to maybe start to get the chance to go outside,” he said. “Yet the media…have set a false expectation for the people of Victoria. “You are not leaving your house until the end of October. “You can’t go back to work until October.” Image: AP
