Victorian outbreak keeping Australia in a ‘limbo land of suppression’ | Sky News AustraliaAustralia must eliminate the virus in order to avoid living in a “limbo land of suppression” triggered by low levels of community transmission, according to Melbourne University epidemiologist Professor Tony Blakely.\n\nVictoria has recorded another 165 coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours taking the state’s total active cases to just under 900, with 41 people currently in hospital.\n\nMr Blakely said Victoria “did have low grade community transmissions so we were going to get the virus breaking out at some point”.\n\nHe said the outbreak had “been brought forward in time and with greater intensity because of the muck up with the quarantine whereby it leaked out through the security guards into the north-western suburbs”.\n\n“This is a really bad situation for Victoria which stands out like a sore thumb” while other states have successfully eliminated the virus, he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\n“We need to actually make use of this lockdown and go a lot harder and see if we can get rid of the virus, get Australia completely clear of it and then we can live in a relatively open manner until such a time as a vaccine arrives”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia

Australia in trouble due to ‘staggering incompetence’ of the Andrews government | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews is “not a tyrant” but the state government is not an accountable democratic system according to The Australian’s Greg Sheridan.\n\nMr Sheridan said state government accountability is real problem in the broader political culture in Australia.\n\n“It’s true of all states, but it's worst of all in Victoria”.\n\nHe pointed out how the Victorian parliament is currently not sitting, the premier is not answering questions with regard to the botched hotel quarantine due to an ongoing judicial inquiry, and the ABC does not provide enough scrutiny on state governments.\n\n“He’s under no pressure from the mechanism of democracy,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Alan Jones.\n\n“Because they’re on the centre-Left and the pro-woke side of things, they’re not really getting beaten up by the ABC on a daily basis”.\n\n“The states should be abolished if they’re not going to be accountable”.\n\nHe said Australia beat the first wave of the deadly coronavirus, but is now in trouble due to the “monumental, unbelievable, staggering incompetence of the Andrews government”.\n\nImage: Getty
