Victorians are paying a heavy price for electing a Labor government that has so badly mismanaged the coronavirus crisis, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. Premier Daniel Andrews and his government are facing scrutiny over its use of security guards at quarantine hotels across the city, instead of trained police officers and military. “The majority of coronavirus infections are from overseas arrivals, that’s where you control the disease,” Ms Panahi said.
“That’s precisely where the Victorian government displayed its ineptness, by trusting poorly trained security guards to monitor hotels instead of police or the army. “Victorians are paying a heavy price for the gross incompetence of the arrogant Daniel Andrews government. “The mishandling of the crisis of the Andrews government has seen Victorians bear far more economic and emotional pain than necessary.
