There have been a copious amount of posts about Brad Hazzard, Gladys and the Ruby Princess and none of them have been complimentary. One would either have to be strapped in their rubber room, have an agenda or be in a coma not to see them ... Oh wait

I dont read every topic on the subject so I may have missed the one

"Gladys bignose should resign !"

He should be sacked. If he resigned he would still retain a pension. Then again, our idiot government would probably still give him a pension if he were sacked too.

Dan said they can't leave for ANY reason.

That must mean even a medical emergency such as a heart attack.
Dan will be responsible for manslaughter soon.

Desperate Dan has only himself to blame


"Daniel Andrews is now clearly the worst-performing, most unsuccessful premier or territory leader in Australia in managing the COVID-19 outbreak, despite being the most authoritarian.

The Victorian government’s failure is damaging for Victorians and for the whole of Australia.

The rolling lockdowns in ever greater parts of Melbourne, with disadvantaged people now confined in tiny apartments in horrible high-rise buildings, is the direct outcome of the government’s botched performance.

Andrews’s failure is broad, and is both political and technocratic.

If you go out shopping, people will die, no pair of shoes is worth a life, etc. And he positively excoriated golf, apparently the devil’s own pastime.

Yet when faced with managing a group of people — international returnees going into quarantine — who were almost certainly carrying a disproportionate rate of virus infections, and who were possibly traumatised by the struggle many had to get home at all and were therefore likely to chafe against a fortnight in a hotel room, the ­Andrews government chose the least-trained workforce it could possibly imagine for the job.

This is staggering incompetence. Anyone familiar with the security industry knows how meagre its general training is. Now the security officers, who were neither trained nor equipped nor well paid for the job they were asked to do, have been effectively silenced. But their union has spoken out.

Guards were given 30 seconds training, meaning they just signed a form saying they’d read a piece of paper, or sometimes three minutes training, for the hotel roles. And this on the watch of the Premier who set up a regime that fined ­people for going to Bunnings when Bunnings was legally open.

Now in its customary politburo style, the Victorian government has decided it doesn’t need to answer a single question, nor accept a single iota of democratic accountability for this debacle until an ­official inquiry reports, presumably when the heat has gone out of the issue.

But there were political failures too. The Andrews government was happy to name all sorts of institutions with breakouts when it suited them politically, even a school linked to an inactive case to support the government’s then ­desire to keep schools shut.

But the Cedar Meats abattoir — Labor donors and full of Labor mates — had their identity protected until it was dragged out by the media. This turned out to be a very significant outbreak. Surely common sense tells you that naming them early would have encouraged any of their casual contacts to get tested. A measure of a political leader’s quality is how stringently they will speak to their own supporters when necessary. Andrews notionally discouraged demonstrators, but his efforts to get people not to attend the Black Lives Matter demonstrations were pitiful."

All the good work we did was for nothing.
We suffered a 3 month lockdown and many people lost their jobs -
many businesses failed.

Victoria is officially in a worse position than we were BEFORE the 12-week lockdown that crippled our economy.

Our Labor government went rogue during the lockdown imposing the strictest restrictions on its citizens AGAINST federal health advice.

We couldn't see our mums on Mothers day; we weren't allowed to go to the beach or visit family and friends when other states could. Golf was out, and the list goes on and on.

Andrews embraced the power but at the same time permitted thousands to March on our streets which BTW we still don't know how many cases trace back to that Black Lives Matter rally. I doubt we ever will.

What we do know is, twice Andrews refused military support in dealing with return travellers. Instead, he opted for giving contracts to dodgy security companies.

These companies ripped us off, often charging the taxpayer for guards that never even worked—paying cash in hand to unskilled, untrained, and in many cases, newly arrived immigrants who hardly speak a word of English.

Some of the stories coming out of Victoria's Hotel quarantines are horrific. My inbox is full of them: I even got a message about a Guard taking people out in return for sexual favours. It's mind-blowing.

The government is now blaming these same security guards for what's happening here. They say a bunch of them got infected from travellers and spread it like wildfire in our local communities.

It begs the question: Why did Andrews refuse the military support, not once, but twice?

Every other state took up the offer of assistance from our military, and it paid off
