Daniel Andrews has declared Victoria "needs to be as stubborn as the virus" indicating restrictions would not be eased ahead of September 28 despite Melbourne achieving the infection rate target set by his government. The number of average coronavirus cases over 14 days fell to 49.6 per cent, within the 30-50 per cent benchmark set by the Andrews government. "On any given measure, the strategy is working, Mr Andrews said.
"Would we like it to work even faster? Of course - but that's not the nature of this virus. "It's stubborn and we need to be as stubborn as the virus." The Victorian Premier said while case numbers mattered, the passage of time was "frustratingly important". "Numbers will continue to fall if we all stay the course. As they continue to fall, we'll have more options than we otherwise would," he said.

This virus 'is costing us more than lives' it's costing 'our trust' | Sky News AustraliaThe coronavirus is costing Australia more than lives and hundreds and thousands of jobs, something else is being lost, particularly in Victoria, which is the trust in government and in the police says Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\nHe said it is Victoria 'which sets the standard for brutality'. \n\nMr Bolt said he has seen scenes in Victoria in the past week which “I never thought I'd see here”. \n\n'Things are really changing, there's such a nasty change to the culture coming that I think we'll have to live with this for a long time to come'. \n\nIt comes as footage surfaced of Victorian Police threatening to arrest two elderly women on a park bench, and in another instance, police arresting a pregnant woman in her home during a police raid for her alleged involvement in organising an anti-lockdown rally. \n\nMr Bolt also said there were 'shameful scenes that suggest a police state in Victoria'. \n\n'Police used en masse to enforce a cruel lockdown which many citizens now think is so harsh and unjustified, so irrational that they will risk a $1600 fine to protest against it'. \n\nMr Bolt said there were 'riot police among the fruit and veg' at a recent anti-lockdown rally at the Queen Victoria Market. \n\nImage: Getty

Premier Andrews $3b support package is 'propaganda' and 'no real solution' | Sky News AustraliaRestaurateur Chris Lucas says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrew’s recent announcement of a business support package is just 'more spin, more rhetoric, and more propaganda' but offers no real solution.\n\nVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Sunday a $3 billion support package for businesses in the state in a bid to keep them afloat during the lockdowns. \n\nBusiness leaders say the stimulus package won’t even touch the sides, given how hard the premier’s lockdown measures have hit businesses in Melbourne. \n\n'Worse still, the support he offered last time hasn’t even yet been delivered,' Sky News host Peta Credlin said.\n\n“These announcements are no different to what’s been going on for the last months, it’s more spin and more rhetoric, more propaganda, but no real solutions quite frankly,” Mr Lucas told Sky News. \n\n“The $3 billion headline figure, $1.8 billion of it is deferred payroll tax, which quite frankly most small businesses in Victoria at the moment are probably not paying anyway because they haven’t been open for the last seven months.\n\n“So you know, there’s just no real solutions here and quite frankly I think everyone’s getting sick of the spin.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia

Restaurants, cafes are not 'high risk settings': Andrews | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has admitted restaurants and pubs are not “high risk” settings but insists they need to remain closed while the coronavirus is still present in the community. \n\n“They are closed because it would only mean more virus if we allowed their customers, many hundreds of thousands, indeed millions of people, to freely move around metro Melbourne,” he said. \n\nWhen questioned as to whether there was evidence of higher infection levels when hospitality venues were open, Mr Andrews said there was actually a greater risk of transmission while dining “at a mate’s place”. \n\n“There is no time limit, there is no waiter making sure we keep our distance. There is not necessarily all the kind of infection control, cleaning tables, cleaning common areas, all of those things,” he said. \n\n“Our publicans, our cafes, restaurants and others have done a fantastic job and I am confident they will when we open up.”\n\nImage: AP\n

Andrews is responsible for the ‘most savage devastation’ in the world: Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says the “know-all dictator” Daniel Andrews has overseen the most savage response in the world causing the most savage devastation, both financial and non-financial.\n\nMr Jones said his “heart bleeds” for Victorians as up to 1.3 million are expected to be on JobKeeper in the December quarter while contributing 723 of the country’s 816 deaths.\n\nThe state is also under extreme stage four lockdowns, including a unprecedented curfew which is set to continue until at the very earliest October 26.\n\nThe premier has based the restrictions on modelling which, against the outcry of politicians and professionals alike, his government has refused to release.\n\n“They won’t, because Andrews thrives on the psychology of fear,” Mr Jones said.\n\n“If this know-all dictator continues to get his way, Melbourne won’t reopen unless there is a 14-day daily average of fewer than five cases.\n\n“He (Mr Andrews) has been wrong on everything. Wrong on quarantine. Wrong on modelling. Wrong on lockdowns. Wrong on the response to the mess he created.\n\n“This is the most savage response anywhere in the world and the most savage devastation, financial and non-financial.\n\n“He has been told the modelling was wrong, the curfew is wrong, the lockdown is wrong, children out of school is wrong, and Andrews takes no notice.\n\n“The further tragedy for Victorians is, unless Andrews is forced to bear the full cost of the damage he has done, he will keep on doing that it.\n\n“Andrews can no-longer be allowed to do things his way.”\n\nImage: Getty

Andrews' $290 million stimulus package faces backlash over narrow eligibility | Sky News AustraliaThe Andrews government’s additional $290 million support package for Victorian business is facing backlash over its very specific eligibility criteria. \n\nThe package – unveiled on Monday by Premier Andrews – focused largely on boosting outdoor dining capabilities for restaurants, pubs and cafes, as well as establishing a sole trade support fund. \n\nThe fund would see cash grants from about $15,000 to $30,000 awarded to business owners of gyms, accommodation and food services, however, only those who were tenants or licensees on commercial premises would be eligible. \n\nUnder that threshold, only 30,000 of more than 400,000 sole traders would be eligible to receive a support grant. \n\nVictorian opposition leader Michael O’Brien called the criteria cruel as it excluded many struggling businesses. \n\nAustralian Hotels Association Victoria President David Canny told Sky News while it would help some small businesses, the industry remained “right on the edge”. \n\n “Our industry is right on the edge, mostly been closed since March, this is a little bit of a bandaid in many ways, it might get us through a couple of weeks but we need a genuine plan to accelerate out of this,” he said. \n\nImage: Getty
