Victorian Opposition Leader Michael O'Brien has slammed the Premier's handling of the coronavirus situation, describing the situation as 'a complete mess'. 9News
"My concern is why are we in this situation here in Victoria when the rest of the country isn't?""I feel very sorry for those 10 postcodes that are now locked down. Families that can't see each other, people who can't go to work not because of anything they have done but because the government has made a complete mess of this."
Mr O'Brien called on the Premier to provide more transparency around the hotel quarantine bungle, saying the people of Victoria deserve better."I don't expect the government to be perfect but I expect them to be honest, I expect them to be competent and the evidence is they failed both those tests." "While Daniel Andrews decided to go down the path of unqualified private security guards beats me but he is ultimately responsible for what has happened as a result, which is a second wave of lockdowns."Mr O'Brien has urged Victorians in hotspot suburbs to get tested after it was revealedover the past week with some saying they believe the virus is a conspiracy.
