Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says there has been a “secret change in strategy” in Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ approach to managing the coronavirus.

“Effectively the Victorian government adopted a strategy of elimination,” he told Sky News. In Victoria’s newly released roadmap to recovery, the Andrews government requires the state to record zero cases for a 28-day period in order to transition to a COVID normal level of function. “Why would you be going for that target when we’ve all been saying we should be flattening the curve and we need to get our health system up to scratch”.

Mr Canavan said Victoria’s roadmap to recovery was “kind of friendless” and was not being backed by most public experts or the business community in the state. The Nationals Senator said the Victorian Premier needed to explain “why he has chosen certain thresholds” and he needed to release the modelling supporting his plan. “It just seems completely crazy to set these very low thresholds before people can get out and about in Victoria”.

From incompetent to hysterical ?

The ruby princess was a massive fuck up but since then NSW has done a reasonable job what I don’t understand is why Victoria are unable to do the same thing

Trump promised to hold the Chinese Communist Party CCP FULLY ACCOUNTABLE for the tragedies they caused all over the world. CCPvirus

陈薇:截至目前,我们的重组新冠疫苗对已经发生变异的新冠病毒能够完全覆盖。 陈少将,病毒也是你们研究出来的!绕那么大个圈子多费劲!你们共产党重新拾起来一门古老的生意!制毒、下毒, 卖解药!

Says the corrupt National whose brother owns a coal mine! His opinion is mute!

Fact- 1000s of cases in Victoria will inevitably bleed to other states putting the whole country at risk. Victorians are paying a huge price so the whole country wouldn’t have to lock down. The least the Liberals can do is to get out of the way.

Dictator Dans only strategy seems to be, to create sufficient suffering and fear as a smokescreen while he covers his tracks to wash so many peoples blood off his hands while no one is watching - while engineering a Stockholm effect - this man and his CCP/union thugs are evil !!

The pm is the one with the secret cabinet.

no there hasnt, Morrison changed to suppression weeks ago after failing to eradicate via his National Cabinet, Andrews know if u keep targeting eradication its more successful in suppressing the virus..next time talk to a Doctor not a miner?

SMH this morning states the modelling is based on 25 percent of new cases are contacted in the first 24 hours - this may have been the case when there was 700 cases but PM states 90 percent plus - make huge difference to modelling - more transparency
