The Australian’s Gerard Henderson says Daniel Andrews is allegedly responsible for the decision in 2009 to stop testing for the flu outbreak along with the lack of investment in testing infrastructure.
The ABC’s Dr Norman Swan said on Tuesday, in 2009 during the swine flu pandemic, Victoria “stopped testing because their public health system couldn’t cope with it, and not a lot was invested after that”. Mr Henderson told Sky News host Andrew Bolt, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews was the health minister for three years during that time, but nobody in the media has reported it.

First Australian COVID vaccines could be administered by February: Health Minister | Sky News AustraliaHealth Minister Greg Hunt has told Sky News the “best in class” vaccines secured by the federal government will likely be rolled out in the first quarter of 2021 and will provide multi-year protection.\n\nA $1.7 billion agreement confirming the supply and production of over 89 million vaccine doses has been spruiked by Prime Minister Scott Morrison as another significant step towards protecting the health of the nation against COVID-19.\n\nA media release outlining the onshore manufacturing agreements for the two COVID-19 vaccines candidates said: “Under the agreement, the University of Oxford\u002FAstraZeneca and the University of Queensland\u002FCSL will provide more than 84.8 million vaccine doses for the Australian population.”\n\nMr Hunt said the Oxford University vaccine is expected to arrive and be produced in Australia from the first quarter of next year, allowing the first vaccinations to potentially occur in January and February.\n\nHe said the Oxford team has indicated that their vaccination is “multi-year protection, (but) not necessarily lifetime”.\n\n“We’re in a fortunate position to have access to these because we have the manufacturing capability in Australia,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\n“It means we don’t have to wait, it means we can choose the best in class, but then be able to produce them here and deliver them to the Australian people on a free and voluntary basis.\n\n“My expectation and belief is that we will have a successful vaccine.”\n\nImage: Getty

Daniel Andrews has 'lied to Victoria' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says one of the 'biggest lies that was told to Victorians' yesterday was the promise that regional Victoria would be able to step out of the virus restrictions faster Melbourne.\n\nMr Murray said under Premier Daniel Andrew’s plan to recovery, regional Victoria should enter stage three now, considering they have hit the benchmarks set by the Premier. \n\n“Under your plan premier, that you said would be applied, in regional Victoria if it hit the marks is that they would have the restrictions come off,” Mr Murray said. \n\nMr Murray today sent a very specific question about this issue to the premier and the chief medical officer, but heard nothing in response. \n\nThe only response to his inquiry came from the Department of Health and Human Services which replied with 'gibberish', Mr Murray said. \n\n“Forty-Eight councils right now in Victoria have 10 or fewer cases and they have for weeks, 29 have had zero for weeks – why are they being punished?” he said. \n\nImage: Getty

Andrews ‘secretly changes COVID strategy’ from suppression to eradication | Sky News AustraliaNationals Senator Matt Canavan says there has been a “secret change in strategy” in Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ approach to managing the coronavirus.\n\n“Effectively the Victorian government adopted a strategy of elimination,” he told Sky News.\n\nIn 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. \n\n“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”.\n\nMr 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\n“It just seems completely crazy to set these very low thresholds before people can get out and about in Victoria”.\n\n“If Dan Andrews wants to stick with Dan Andrews plan, well Dan Andrews should be sent the bill. The bill shouldn’t be coming to Canberra and all Australian taxpayers”.\n\nImage: Getty mattjcan The_Nationals FANTASTIC Great Work Well done Mattie 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 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?

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 DanielAndrewsMP Chris Kenny says lots of things, few of them are true. DanielAndrewsMP If Dan was so concerned about the virus and “keeping everyone safe”, he’d allow HCQ to be used so that we could move on. Clearly, it’s not about the virus at all. DanielAndrewsMP If the whole world and not just Victorians had to follow this plan, every country except Taiwan and a handful of Pacific Islands would be at least at stage 3 restrictions, so no retail, no restaurants, no school, businesses, a curfew, stay within 5 km and 4 reasons to leave home.
