IN THE DAILY MAIL:
Victorian Liberal MP James Newbury told Daily Mail Australia that the decision has 'put other states at risk'.
'Daniel Andrews adopted a rogue plan, which bucked the consensus of National Cabinet, and used private contractors to manage hotel quarantine instead of the trusted Defence Force,' he said.
'His rogue strategy has failed and the pandemic is out of control in Victoria which is putting other states at risk.'
In a scathing assessment of the premier, the state MP for Brighton in south-east Melbourne said: 'Mr Andrews and his government are directly responsible for this second wave'.
Daniel Andrews slammed for refusing to use the ADF in hotel quarantine
Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews has today been accused of 'putting other states at risk' after his 'rogue' decision to use private security guards to enforce quarantine.
What about our police force checking & enforcing People in charge as they do in hot spot area suburbs !..? Are these people checked with .... Police checks / working with kids checks / psychological checks / flu injections ...Covid 19 tests .? Who vets the contracting Agency ,? , ...?......?
Didn’t Dan say he was doing everything 100% right?
Should we be calling for his resignation

Hes the only one that knows how his stupid brain works
Might be because there are cluster outbreaks in those post codes. Why are you politicising a health issue?
He is not punishing those postcodes, he is trying to contain the spread of known covid clusters. This seems like a misleading and purposefully divisive post. I expect more from my local rep. Do better.
The Hawthorn incident? Two people were assaulted. Their colleagues are not happy.
It shows how truly scared Andrews is of Setka. Imagine what secrets Steka has on Dopey Dan. How else could anyone defend and protect a criminal like Setka.
Raman Shaqiri has an interest here he knocked down the cork man hotel and then illegally dumped the waste including all the asbestos in Brooklyn he lives in your electorate he’s got two blocked right on the water what a scum bag. Leave the Union alone. You need to do more in your own electorate stop worrying about other people’s business
Time has already proven that safely organised protests are not the main source of community spread cases. You just hate the working class.
Been saying for months hes a union puppet. In the covid upheavel , building and construction, emergency services, teachers, public servants ( and lots of them) nurses and politicians of course... note all unionized non of these lost wages. All small and idependent businesses are the ones that have borne the brunt of this madness. 👿👿👿👿
Funny this!!! I didn’t see anything on the news about this march 🤬🥊🥊
Exactly
Exactly- two rules
Now that’s a good question.
Chairman Dan is so scared of the CFMEU!
$$$$ 🤝
The numbers increased in those suburbs because more tests were done there. Because nearly all COVID-19 infections are in non-vulnerable and minimally symptomatic people, any increase in testing in any suburb will result in a sudden increase in reported positive serology. I challenge Mr Andrews to do a testing blitz in his own suburb!
Fine them all .
dont pay jail them .
I have not seen a bigger Nut then him!
It just shows what s joke Andrews is as a leader.The public see this stuff just as they did with the recent marches in Melb with thousands of protesters.Andrews effectively endorsed it - we won't fine you etc but please stay away. Victorians all saw this and hundreds of thousands would have said to themselves, friends and family " why should we have to restrict ourselves ...? Andrews is a disgrace but it would be nice to have an effective opposition party out there, getting themselves in front and making the case for change.

IN PARLIAMENT - FAMILY HOME TAX.
Every Victorian is under threat of a new tax on the family home, with the Treasurer considering replacing stamp duty with an annual tax of at least $4000 per house.
Paying for Dan Andrews CCP debt time to get him out
Don’t these socialist idiots realise that people are suffering from their lockdowns We are not all employed by the public service and get pay rises
You can’t be serious, how many people could afford this ripoff 😡
How the hell are struggling families expected to pay these taxes ????
Very very concerning!
So does that mean you support keepingStamp duty as is?
Ooo $8 per week, how terrible.
This is really interesting as it's closer to the US property tax model I think. As I understand it, the benefit for govt. is recurring income not dependant on property transaction volumes (an issue for them at the moment). It also means lower deposit to buy as a second time purchaser (no benefit to first timers) but increased ongoing expenditure for all. I wonder if this may lead to rising rents or if the deductibility for investors will limit this. I'd be curious to know what rate of return they're using for the opportunity cost of investing saved stamp-duty to derive the recurring cost. Where can we can more info on the particulars James Newbury MP - Member for Brighton

Victoria is 'spiraling out of control' under 'rogue' Premier Andrews: Liberal MP
He is more than a rogue Premier, he is a dangerous Premier! His commitment and dedication is to China and the CCP not Victoria or Australia. We need to get rid of this dangerous Dictator now.

God grt him out he is tsking victoria back twenty years his attitude his decisions his retractions ...we are doomed
Where is Michael O ‘Brian

ON SKY NEWS:
In what world is Sky News an accurate and unbiased publication???
He should be investigated for treason with his shady dealings with China.
Corrupt Government
Komrade Dan is on the ropes at last. To use a boxing analogy, James Newbury, "Finish him!" A flurry of combinations is what is now needed. Left, right, left hook, uppercut! Boom! He is the leader of the Kludgeocracy. PM me if you want to know more. Don't let him escape this time. Finish him!
Nick Ward accurate
Our state of Victoria is now a joke to the others! Just when the curve is flattened, Daniel Andrews allows crowds in the street, unchecked. Then he blames the spike in family gatherings alone....he calls in the military then sends them away, he encourages people to get tested so we have long lines of people waiting for hours in their cars, in a queue. He makes ridiculous comments like, “Who would want to go to South Australia anyway.” Time to vote him and his government out.....bring back Jeff Kennet I say!
Andrews flip flopping on allowing the ADF to manage hotel quarantine instead of private contractors suggests to me he is not in control and there are others behind the scenes pulling the strings. It's this inability to lead which has now turned the once great state of Victoria into a Coronavirus leper colony.
Where is Michael O ‘Brian the phantom Liberal Leader. He needs to step up or replace him. Strange how branch stacking was removed from the news circle after Chairman Dan changed back to COVID 19 news again.
As I’ve said elsewhere... when a so-called leader dismisses important issues like branch stacking where party members have been sacked/resigned, he has acknowledged that he doesn’t want to be around any longer, that he is filling in time, that he knows the state is in a mess, and that he probably has a cushy position with a (‘Chinese’?) firm already lined up and ready to go to. So the quicker he gets out, the state of Victoria can recover from the damage caused / debt created etc.
Ummm I don't think he's the only Premier going for an elimination strategy. Have a look at the other Hitler Premiers with their borders closed thus destroying the economies of their states and therefore Australia's.
James Newbury if you really did contribute “comment” to this “article”, I am embarrassed on your behalf. Raise your credibility if you want to raise your profile, don’t chase the rubbish to the bottom.
Well said James! Victoria is out of control! Premier Daniel Andrew’s & his Labor Government have lost the trust & confidence of Victorians through their incompetence to manage the state in a time of unprecedented emergency.
Please stop blaming others especially our leaders. It is so negative.
Look at him and you net no words
What can you say how a premier has got no idea 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
They have both sides of the argument when i watch it
Teflon Dan has done it again! The Somyurek & Co scandal, which would've brought down any other Premier, is all but forgotten amid the - largely self-inflicted - COVID 19 "flare up crisis" noise.

THE FUTURE OF LANDCOX PARK.
Landcox Park is a wonderful place; it is a much loved park in our community. Over two hundred local residents have petitioned Bayside Council to install an all weather covered structure near to the existing playground.
They should sign a 21 year lease on the park for a private school. This way they can get the all weather covered structure. They are considering a 21 year lease on Wilson Reserve in Brighton, maybe that’s how they will operate from now on. Privatisation of public land.

More snouts in the trough! When will it end? It’s so easy to spend other people’s money.
Hit the 4 eyed prick with a bill to pay us back.
😡😣😣😣
A man of the people
It's your money so who cares.
HES A FLOG !!!!!!!
The Chinese Communist Party must be ordering the high-end cocktails.
This man will send Victoria bankrupt
What to you expect from a socialist government. This is why they promise the voter everything who receives nothing in return but they receive what they want which is to keep their high paying jobs and perks on the side.
Thieving bastards.
ha, Dutton (one department) spent half of that in 3 months. Look to your own party (I know, they're federal, but still the same) before throwing stones.
I wonder what Abbott's bill was? waaaaay more than this I reckon.
A Roman gorging party while every body has to tighten their belts.
Its time to go
This prick is a grub , China can have him for nothing
They get paid more than enough so they should pay for theirselves.
Vote this bastard out
Pauline Hanson's Please Explain Craig Kellycraig Rita Panahi - Columnistpan Robbie Katter MP

Traitor..spending Chinese money.
How much has the opposition charged us?
Drop dead Andrews and do everyone a huge favour we hate you here in Victoria you are the most inept Premier we have ever had and that is saying something may you rot in Hell for what you are doing to our once lovely State of Victoria
He looks like a stroke victim.
