There is a 'pyramid of corruption in Victoria and Dan Andrews is at the top' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rowan Dean says the way in which Daniel Andrews is running the state of Victoria is “sickening”. \n\nHis comments come regarding apparent double standards shown by the Andrews government in regard to the enforcement of lockdown rules. \n\nA woman was on Monday arrested for alleged involvement in anti-lockdown protests, yet infected individuals who illegally travelled outside of the 5km radius and spread the virus, were not even fined. \n\n “The fish rots from the head,” Mr Dean said.\n\n“Daniel Andrews is right at the top of this pyramid of, I would say, corruption, where the police, the bureaucrats, the public servants are all joining in because they are terrified that if they don’t, it’s a pyramid scheme, and they will lose their jobs.\n\n“So you have appalling double standards.\n\nMr Dean said there must be police officers in Victoria with consciences pointing out the hypocrisy of the government in setting rules and failing to follow them. \n\n“The rules are illogical,” he said. \n\n“If the rules are illogical, the public loses faith in the police.\n\n“So what Dan Andrews is doing is destroying a generation of police officers.\n\n“It is only those police officers there who now have the right or the ability to stand up and say we’re not doing this anymore, this is wrong, get your laws in order, get them straight, get them logical, get them consistent, otherwise we’re not applying them.”\n
