Victoria has recorded fewer cases on Sunday but the Premier has said don't be fooled, and warned 'big days of big numbers' lay ahead.
A father of five children under five has hit out at the Victorian Government's full lockdown of nine public housing blocks, including one his family lives at.
Thinking he had until 11.59pm on Saturday like other residents in his postcode, the 27-year-old ran downstairs to buy formula for his seven-month-old twins but was stopped by police.Just two hours prior, Premier Daniel Andrews had announced a "hard" lockdown for nine public housing towers in North Melbourne and Flemington, effective immediately.Police gathering outside the public housing flats in Flemington yesterday.
The government's decision to lock down all nine towers was made because of "patterns of movement, friendship groups, family groups," the premier said. Mr Ibrahim, a Somali-Australian who has lived in Australia for 10 years after fleeing his war-torn homeland, said he couldn't find out how to get his specific needs met.They need formula for the baby twins, nappies, milk, weetbix, soap, toothpaste, laundry powder, fruit, vegetables and meat."There are a lot of postcodes in lockdown but they are allowed to leave the house for essentials."What the Victorian government is doing is discriminating the people who don't have a voice.
