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
