Daniel Andrews is an 'elected dictator, and nobody can control him' | Sky News Australia

Jim Penman, founder of Jim’s Group, says for Premier Daniel Andrews to claim that opening pet grooming services while keeping private lawn mowing companies closed has anything to do with health is "garbage ... this is grubby, rotten politics.” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Sunday pet grooming services would be able to operate, despite the fact that bars, restaurants, and private lawn mowing services could still not run.

” Premier Daniel Andrews will not let private lawnmowers work, having declared them a non-essential service, he has however, been allowing council lawnmowers and gardeners to continue working. “He’s refused to give a justification, he’s refused to explain why council gardeners can work safely in groups, and our guys can’t work singularly doing the same job,” Mr Penman said.

Thejimpenman Prepared to sacrifice lives so you can make a buck? Shame on you, you grub!!

Jin Penman must b pretty thick if he cant tell the difference? These greedy people dont care about the elderly, only about their money!

Penman should probably consult a PR firm as he has done serious damage to his brand and his poor franchisees.

Unelected fascist complains of elected dictator.... FknIrony

Just saw a Jim's mowing outfit mowing and trimming at Cardiff nsw. Funny that the trailer had been resprayed with no sign writing and workers had no logos.

MatthewGuyMP Of course it’s politics! Someone should take him out with the garbage🙄

spoken by a grubby rotten person

An animals health us more important then a freaking lawn! Get over it!!

EugenicsJim would know all about being a dictator.

Is he still going to sue the state govt, or was he all mouth

True

Well he made a deal with the Animal Justice Party to get their vote for continual extensions of the SoE. Andrews looks after his mates. No one else.

have to agree on that one. Gardening services can supplied with almost no physical contact at all. Dan just wants Jim to 'beg'...after his war of words recently

100%...all about politics and nothing about public health or the economy.

I’m a supporter of lockdown while we get cases very low, but I’ve never understood why parcels, food, etc can be delivered contactless, yet lawns can’t be mowed. Saying it’s “grubby, rotten...” won’t help though. Keep the debate logical and without names and we may get change.

I wouldn’t use a Jim’s service if it were my last and only option. This guy is putting his franchisees livelihood in jeopardy not Daniel Andrews

Jim has many unhappy franchisees

Just another example of the on going incompetence of the Andrews government. I will never again vote for state Labour, the hole machine is corrupt and out of touch.

He takes a cut of the wages of those 'private lawn mowing companies', coz all he is, is a labor hire parasite for business, has destroyed any chance a REAL small business can operate as they cant compete with Jims EVERYTHING!

To be a successful politician, you have to throw logic out the windows. That is for business people

Irresponsible reporting by Skynews. The fact is the lockdown in Victoria is working and thankfully we are not in the same mess as the USA, Israel, UK and other countries who opened up too early.

Is Jim’s still closed?! That’s ridiculous considering councils allow this work to take place. DanielAndrewsMP applies zero thought when creating policy. Vic is in deep crap w him at the helm. covidvic springst

All those commenting against Jim should confirm that they are fat lazy bastards, sitting on the couch all day, being paid by government with Jim workers tax money. And no intention to work for the rest of their lives.

JumpsFrog I'm off on workcover due to injuries and my gardener and cleaner can not attend which affects my health. The gutters can not be done which will lead to damage and coming into the warmer months in a bushfire area this is not good enough.

Well, he was the one who engaged in politics and partisan grandstanding rather than private lobbying like a proper business person - you get what you get, and you don't get upset.

protect_the_CFA Wasn’t outdoor maintenance soon to be reviewed?

Looks like it 💩

💯% These bastards made a deal remember? So Mad San can get his SOD extension. He is a compulsive liar and his gift of the gab will only get him so far. People have woken to his treachery.

It's the reward for the 3 traitors who supported his SOD bill. So absolutely political.....it makes me sick. He does not care one bit about most Victorians and it makes me ill

You'd have more chance of catching something off the Victoria POLICE than the Jimsmowing team. I would not want Vic Police anywhere near me but Jim's team, no problem at all

Everything Jim says is spot on

Ahh the RingWormRight

Damn right.

That's awful. What the hell are they thinking. How about some common sense.?

This 'man' is an unAustralian. An absolute disgracecwho just wants people's money. Doesn't give a crap about anyone but himself. He should not be given a platform. ThisisNotJournalism

Jims Mowing has been know as a penny pinching greedy man. their are many others suffering worse than him.

Bad luck Jim. Time to find another grift.

Business to crumble as Dan Andrews forces hospitality sector to 'toe the line' | Sky News AustraliaOwner of the iconic Botanical Hotel, Rabih Yanni, says the hospitality sector in Victoria is in dire need of a “management plan that is proportionate to the medical risk”.\n\n“We’re asking for something that is reasonable, something that’s honest, something that will enable us to re-engage with our customers, our guests, our community and more importantly provide work for the people we employ,” he told Sky News.\n\n“It appears as though we are expected to toe the line that no other industry has had to accept and move forward on the proviso of limited and narrowly focused modeling.\n\n“This is by no means profit before people. This is about livelihoods.'\n\nMr Yanni said economic forecasts indicate 40 per cent of businesses in the hospitality industry might not make it through the current lockdowns. \n\n“I would suggest that’s a conservative estimate,” he said \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
