Victoria Premier DanielAndrewsMP has been unwilling to elaborate on why he believed the resignation of Health Minister JennyMikakos was 'appropriate'.

Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews has been unwilling to elaborate on why he believed the resignation of Health Minister Jenny Mikakos was "appropriate". The Premier was challenged as to how Ms Mikakos' resignation was appropriate despite comments made by Mr Andrews "all his ministers" had his confidence.

"Ms Mikakos is not a minister any longer. She has made a decision. She has resigned," Mr Andrews said. "As to details pertaining to the facts of the matters they are rightly the province of an inquiry and my job is to wait for the findings of that inquiry and to take the necessary actions to ensure the mistakes made can never occur again."

DanielAndrewsMP JennyMikakos He won’t say until the independent inquiry puts forward its findings. I think Dan and Neville are ultimately culpable

DanielAndrewsMP JennyMikakos can you not read her statement that’s in English and quite understandable?

DanielAndrewsMP JennyMikakos It was her decision. She explained it. What’s hard to understand about that

Let me help you. It's nuanced. However, fwiw: Mikakos statement says she strongly disagreed with aspects of Andrew's statement to the Inquiry and thus cannot stay in cabinet. Hence her resignation. In those circs Andrews said Mikakos had taken the appropriate course of action.

Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos resigns | Sky News AustraliaEmbattled Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos has resigned from Cabinet and will quit parliament after Premier Daniel Andrews named her accountable for the failed hotel quarantine program at Friday’s inquiry.\n\n“I take responsibility for my department, the buck stops with me,” she said in a statement.\n\n“I have never wanted to leave a job unfinished but in light of the premier’s statement to the Board of Inquiry and the fact that there are elements in it that I strongly disagree with, I believe that I cannot continue to serve in his Cabinet.\n\n“With the benefit of hindsight, there are clearly matters that my department should have briefed me on.\n\n“Whether they would have changed the course of events only the Board and history can determine.”\n\nMs Mikakos said she didn’t believe her actions led to the bungled hotel quarantine, firing a shot at Mr Andrews.\n\n“I am disappointed that my integrity has sought to be undermined,” she said. \n\n“I am deeply sorry for the situation that Victorians find themselves in.\n\n“In good conscience, I do not believe that my actions led to them.” JennyMikakos still refusing to accept blame in her statement saying that decisions made by her have not led to the shit storm Victoria is in today! JennyMikakos and DanielAndrewsMP should be charged with manslaughter of 750+ people at least. COVIDVIC19 When can we see LisanevilleMP resign Now let’s see the leftard bots attack, it’s all Murdoch’s fault.

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 .
