Daniel Andrews 'obsessing over all the wrong things' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews 'is just wrong for this task' as he engages in micromanaging while obsessing over all the wrong things in his bid to stem the spread of the virus. \n\nMr Andrews announced on Sunday tentative dates for the easing of restrictions, should new case numbers remain low.\n\nThe Melbourne metropolitan area will continue with its stage four lockdowns until at least September 28.\n\nWhile the curfew facing parts of the state will be slightly eased to 9:00pm and people will be allowed to exercise for two hours per day.\n\nMr Kenny said the roadmap 'leaves a curfew in place until the end of October; by that time Victorians will have been forced to stay home, overnight, for three months”. \n\n“This is reckless, this is madness, it hurts people, and it all happens while the deaths continue to occur, not in the broader community, but almost exclusively in aged care facilities, where the precautions and focus should have been more intense, much earlier.\n\n“Victoria needs someone who can look at the big picture, make the big calls about balancing the costs and benefits, risks and rewards of a virus, a health system, a society and an economy.”\n\n'Not someone fussing over skate park rules'. \n\nImage: Getty

Daniel Andrews has 'lied to Victoria' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says one of the 'biggest lies that was told to Victorians' yesterday was the promise that regional Victoria would be able to step out of the virus restrictions faster Melbourne.\n\nMr Murray said under Premier Daniel Andrew’s plan to recovery, regional Victoria should enter stage three now, considering they have hit the benchmarks set by the Premier. \n\n“Under your plan premier, that you said would be applied, in regional Victoria if it hit the marks is that they would have the restrictions come off,” Mr Murray said. \n\nMr Murray today sent a very specific question about this issue to the premier and the chief medical officer, but heard nothing in response. \n\nThe only response to his inquiry came from the Department of Health and Human Services which replied with 'gibberish', Mr Murray said. \n\n“Forty-Eight councils right now in Victoria have 10 or fewer cases and they have for weeks, 29 have had zero for weeks – why are they being punished?” he said. \n\nImage: Getty

Daniel Andrews 'gave us a plan that is a death knell to our industry' | Sky News AustraliaRestaurateur Chris Lucas says six million Victorians potentially face an economic and mental health disaster they’ve never seen before.\n\nHis comments come after Victorian Premier Daniel Andrew’s announcement on Sunday of a roadmap to recovery which extended Melbourne’s stage four lockdown for another 2 weeks. \n\nThe announcement delivered a hard blow to restaurants as they learnt they won’t be able to open their doors until at least the 23rd of November, and only then if there were zero cases in the state. \n\n“I think that we’re in a perilous state,” Mr Lucas told Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\n“We had hoped, and we had asked for a plan, a plan to get out of this mess.\n\n“What we got yesterday was quite the opposite. We got a plan that, quite frankly, is a death knell to our industry.\n\n“I’m really fearful for our industry.\n\n“I think potentially up to 30-40 per cent of restaurants and cafes across Victoria won’t survive this lockdown.”\n\nImage: Getty
