Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews will be the final person to take the stand at the state’s hotel quarantine inquiry on Friday after Health Minister Jenny Mikakos became the third minister this week to deny responsibility for key elements of the botched program.
Mr Andrews will on Friday have the last word in the $3 million hotel quarantine inquiry he established in July when counsel assisting Rachel Ellyard cross-examines him from 2.15pm.The Premier, one of the main proponents of the program to the national cabinet, will be asked to shed light on the discussions in the hours leading up to the decision on March 27 to authorise hotel quarantine and the use of security guards.
“But plausibility is the key thing,” Associate Professor Strangio said, “and it goes back to: does the public accept that explanation?" However, she said her department’s proposal to enlist ADF help was rejected “by other parts of government”.
I am a firm believer that he will tell us all the truth today... i am also of the belief that santa, the tooth fairy and easter bunny are real
No govt accountability, equals corruption, covered up... Just like the death in aged care, are the elderly dying from covid-19 or gross incompetence?
Legit question - what happens if he also says he doesn’t know?
Aren't they meant to be under oath giving their evidence? Surely if they can't be held accountable for their 'memory loss' while under oath, I hope a higher power has the final say on their judgement day. Hell is reserving a special area for them all.
I hear nothing, I see nothing. Will be the saying of the day
A Nightmare on Spring St continues...It's all a blurry dream to the Victorian ALP. basalted DictatorDan IStandWithDan springst danliedpeopledied
I still know nothing MikakosOut
Dans testimonial : None of us saw anything, it's just one of those things. Pakula was reading a magazine... Mikakos was taking a piss... Sutton was washing his hands... Eccles was watching a bull ant crawl across the table... And I was watching Eccles watch the bull ant.
Let me save everyone the trouble: 'I don't know, I can't recall that, well you can make that assumption but I don't accept that, let me be clear - and then not being clear or accountable at all'
Andrews believes Victorians are here to serve him and that he is not here to serve Victorians. Greatest misuse of Governmental powers in Australian history. DictatorDan IStandWithDan springst auspol basalted
Will DictatorDan become AmnesiaDan today
He will say nothing he is the last one and maintain the same bull as his other underlins
Hahahahahahha
A Federal responsibility.
We will find out today that no one knows who hired security guards, or who was responsible for hotel quarantine and contact tracing debacle.
I think I know what Andrews will say

Premier Andrews is ‘delusional, dishonest and loose with the truth’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson the daily blame shifting by senior bureaucrats and senior Cabinet ministers in Victoria over the hotel quarantine fiasco “would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious”. \n\nMr Gleeson said integrity is one thing in politics that can’t be faked. \n\n“You’ve either got it or you haven’t and the Victorian and Queensland governments right now don’t have it,” he said. \n\n“It is literally eye-watering to see grown men and women running away from their shared responsibility, which has specifically resulted in the deaths of hundreds and hundreds of people. \n\n“Jobs Minister, the hapless Martin Pakula, Police Minister, the hapless Lisa Neville and of course today, the hapless Health Minister Jenny Mikakos, they've have created a triple dead heat for the worst ministers in Victorian political history”. \n\nMr Gleeson said the ministers “need to go”. \n\nHe also said Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has been exposed as a leader “wholly loose with the truth”. \n\nMr Gleeson said Premier Andrews is “delusional' and dishonest. \n\n'Victoria and Queensland, both run by Labor governments, both with integrity questions,' he said. Truth is so many people have lost loved ones, businesses and we rely on an idiot to get us out of the mud who can’t remember if he is Arthur or Martha and relies on a super computer that can’t be argued with Just taking a leaf outa ScottyFromMarketing play book .
