Premier Daniel Andrews has endured a storm of criticism since announcing on Monday that he wanted a 12-month extension of Victoria's state of emergency powers, which he says are needed to get through the prolonged crisis and would put the state in line with arrangements in other states, which are in effect open-ended.
The minister, who needs four crossbench votes to pass the legislation, also offered to extend the term of the parliamentary committee, which has majority Labor membership, examining the government's COVID-19 response.
He also cited hotel quarantine, poor communications of health messages to some groups, problems with contact tracing, mixed messages on isolation practices, and the management of the St Basil’s care home COVID-19 cluster, which has so far claimed more than 30 lives. Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister said he had a constructive relationship with the Premier and that he had expressed his concern to Mr Andrews about his plans to extend the emergency powers.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell This is all political talk and the politics is not considering the fast car crash we avoided.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell You call it a backdown' because that's a lovely inflammatory word bound to get the Dan haters salivating. I call it a 'negotiated agreement'. It all depends how you look at it and what agenda you are pursuing. I am developing a deep seething ugly hate for journalists per se.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell The AMA is essentially a political party representing only 30% of Australian doctors.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell mmmm.... pandemic vs. car crash .... something is wrong with the scale of things that are compared here ? I would be interested in the full statement of AMA. The little quote here is either totally pointless (scale?) or missing a whole lot of context.

DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell good to hear from the hotel enquiry today that trades hall were consulted on security companies to be used. Had no idea they were specialists in quarantine matters.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell There is not a state of emergency, there is a rush of blood to brainless gen X heads over a fake maths model they used to justify this bullshit, the so called new virus has never been found in the world, only a minor genome on a cold virus,
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Maybe. Could of been worse, maybe a slow train crash instead. Hindsight is wonderful.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell That's because that is exactly what it is. A spot on assessment by the AMA.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Just going to say it again: A SLOW CAR CRASH says the AMA. AndrewsMustGo
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Andrews negotiates a deal to keep Victoria safe 👍🏻
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Dr.Rait failed for nomination as Liberal candidate for Kew was beaten by Tim Smith. Ps that's as fake news as the rubbish Dr.Rait is spewing. Stick to doctoring and get out of politics pal.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell AMA in the pocket of Newscorp and Liberals. Unless they have something constructive to say then say nothing.there seems to be a large disconnect within the body they represent.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Dan Clusters in Covid 19 Victoria!!!! Clusters Last Stand!!!!! Covid 19 Dans--- Victoria's Special Victims Unit!!!! VSVU
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell VicGovDHHS JennyMikakos I believe VIC gov shouldn’t give any concessions to crossbenchers if we have only 6mths extension.We don’t want them have opportunity water down/compromise CHO’s health responses which were already too soft in many cases.Hold your grounds, Dan/Jenny,plz
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell So sorry for Victorians living under a Dictatorship
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Finger pointing is unhelpul, says amavictoria by pointing their finger 😂
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell More labour bashing. The LNP are relentless and so are their supporters and the media.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Bye bye, Andrews. You’re done.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Can the media cover the aged care fiasco led my federal aged care minister?
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Numbers are heading back down rapidly in Victoria - Dan seems to be doing a good job. Why did Morrison abandon his quarantine responsibilities and leave it up to the states to do his job for him ?
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell That should help amavictoria
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Clearly the state AMA President is pro-Libs. Calling for Royal Commission?He’s nuts.Obviously he’s more interested in politics and nitpicking on VIC gov than genuinely helping VIC heath response.PPE g’lines were FedGov’s failures.Blame them.Vic stepped up beyond G’lines
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Unrelenting negative running commentary in The Age. Today they've dragged up the conservative AMA to throw pebbles. Any RC needs to include role of the media in undermining public confidence and public health messages. Who's your Chairman again?
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Why don’t the State Government focus on a plan to get Victoria going again rather than trying to implement more fucking laws! We need hope! For fuck sake give us at least some HOPE!
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell 주님의 이름을 경외하는 자들을 그날에 데러가실 것입니다. 회개하십시오. 거룩하십시오. 메시아께서 오십니다. 회개와거룩함사역회 PrimeWednesdayService
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Labor negotiates and its a backdown. Liberals negotitiate and its an exchange of ideas. Give me a break IStandWithDan
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell The AMA... The organisation who said masks don't work. Must all be pissed they can't play golf right now
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Funny how he backed down the day after his deal with China got axed...
Even 6 months is insane. The economy and people's lives are being destroyed.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Isn't it great. Democracy in action, before our very eyes. All the hyperventilating fools, the 'dictator dan' idiots and simply those that did not understand what was actually being requested can now eat their hysterical words.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell A 6 month extension of the SofE powers is a **major** backdown? As a compromise, the government offered to accept a six-month extension of its powers ... Ch9's TheAge now with extra spin.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Dead man walking. I wonder which faceless drone will replace him
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Needs to back down completely and then resign for all the damage he’s done.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell You can correct me if I am wrong but wasn’t the AMA saying that masks were not effective against the virus? They have been attacking Andrews without any real world ideas or solutions do the question is who are they, who & what are they connected to and what is their real agenda?
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Andrews never wanted 12. Only ever wanted six. Brilliant face saving play for the independents to show they stood up to Dan. He will will now continue to manufacture emergencies to justify ongoing lockdowns. And yet the media gullibly report this as some major back down. Wake up
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell I can’ believe Dr Rait is stating that the Vic govt “allowed” the protests. Repeatedly stating “don’t go, stay at home” = you’re allowed to go ? 🙄 And Vic gov is responsible for St Basil’s - who notified Fed regulator day after CV pos case identified?
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell What garbage. The SoE can only be extended four weeks at a time anyway...
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell The greatest cheat and liar in political history since Tommy Bent looks to be in serious trouble. His becoming a liability to state labor now.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell About time the AMA called for a royal commission into the car crash Dan Andrews labor government
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Who is the chairman of ch9 again 🤔
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Another 6 months is too long. Even if it is terribly inconvenient having to debate your ideas and convince others.
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Finally some hope and good news in this crap
DanielAndrewsMP noeltowell Dan caring for Victoria’s on going safety .
