I thought he was doing a fairly sensible job. Some of his ministers suck (eg: health minister). But other wise he is doing ok in a difficult situation.
Let us spare a thought for our Victorian ASF Members

After the Herald Suns attacks on Andrews
"Recent headlines include “Dan’s defence shot down” on the front page, Campbell’s “The mad decisions Dan Andrews’ team keep making must stop” and Bolt’s “Victorians shouldn’t have to put up with Andrews’ nonsense”."
Then this poll a real kick in the groin

Do you have a link cannot find it?
Found below on another site.
So...on the frontline.
As of last night, in the hospital where I work, there is a palpable sense of anxiety the moment you walk in the door. We have 3 locked down Wards, ED on bypass (only taking Cat 1 or Mental Health patients) and staff testing positive (>30). This **** is real!!
For any of you sceptics /doubters/deniers/wilfully ignorant out there - research 'long COVID' or 'long-tail COVID'. These are the cohort who have been positive but without requiring hospital admission, generally 30-50 year olds. Despite the initially presenting with fairly benign respiratory/viral symptoms, 2-6 months later are still having on going issues. In 10% of cases these individuals are having cardiac problems (for example, myocarditis-inflammation of the muscles of the heart) despite being negative for months after their initial positive test. For a balanced and not overly medicalised description of long COVID, try Radio National "The Naked Scientist" broadcast Friday 14 August. There are a myriad of other post viral symptoms such as cramps, migraines, rigors, and fatigue on going, for a large number of people who are now negative for the virus. It appears that this virus 'tricks' the bodys' immune response system into reacting despite the individual being negative.

It was a joke, I was trying to show how easily an image/news can be manipulated, if you look at the number 9, it is not perfect in representation to the image, I am a hack when it come to graphic design.

Crap, it is 7.51pm, I am in Balaclava, Vic, need to get home before the 8.00pm curfew, all 2.8kms away.
What happens if I am still walking home at 8.01pm, am I a criminal?
Am I threatening the lives of others, could I be accused of manslaughter?
Maybe not, I left the guns at home, the machete is blunt and I am walking.

But my office is the world. Employees in the philipines, vietnam, Bangladesh, and Ukraine. Have to deal with time zones.
I assume you understand?

Perhaps the sun is shining in Vic.
Excellent drop in COVID cases today. Hopefully the trend continues.

No sunshine and lollipops, the damage has been done.
So many businesses just closing the doors and walking away, it is surreal.
People are starting to resent the govnuts more and more each day.
Rumours growing of massive marches and protests if Stage 4 is not lifted when scheduled to be.
The numbers are falling as we are being treated like prisoners.
The scare campaign worked, but only for so long.

CCP Dan @ it again.
"
Premier Daniel Andrews has announced the restrictions associated with Victoria's state of emergency will be extended and could be in place for the next 12 months.
Victoria’s state of emergency is due to end of September 13 but Mr Andrews said the state cannot afford to have the restrictions that go along with the state emergency end.
“That is the legal instrument that allows rules about face masks, about COVID safe work plans in workplaces large and small, that is the legal instrument that sits behind density limits in pubs and cafes and restaurants. Things like a positive person, someone who has got this virus, and required to isolate at home,” he said.
“Before September 13 (we) will extend the state of emergency provisions within the public health and well-being act for a maximum of a 12 months. So that means it will be a total of 18 months. The six months we have already been through plus a further 12 months.”

My prediction is that Victoria will see violence over this.

He is behaving in the style of a true megalomaniac.
A meek leftie commentator:
"Andrews’s push for a 12-month extension to Victoria’s state of emergency makes no sense … unless the purpose is to hand the Premier absolute power during, and perhaps even beyond, this pandemic."

I'm not sure what the fuss is. We clearly need to continue with COVID health restrictions for the foreseeable future so at least 6 months and 12 month is not a stretch.
Are we suggesting that the Government either lift all COVID health restrictions or find some other legal instrument to legislate to protect public health ?
I can't see why the mask/isolation/density limits will not be reviewed earlierif circumstances improve.

bull****, getting tired of this crap, as a previous poster mentioned, it will result in voilence.
Lets address the facts
Worst case scenario, 0.1% of people die, so for the other 99.9% of the popluation they are meant to suffer.
F---k you and the govnuts.

The Andrews ALP government can be blamed for the current impositions on the Victorian population, arising from their manifest incompetance in the Hotel quarantine program.
They cannot however be solely blamed for the basic strategy, which is to lock down as hard and as prolonged as necessary, until public contagion is reduced to near zero: that's a national strategy with all the states and territories on board, and interestingly enough is being more or less followed by most of the worlds' governments - even those undeveloped countries which cannot possibly endure such a policy.
So here we all are on planet Earth, waiting for a vaccine.
If the first bunch of trialled candidates perform poorly, or fail outright, then surely the strategy must be rethought. In other words: S W E D E N
Meanwhile, in Victoria: once the borders open enough, my scratched and blury crystal ball foresees a mass emmigration out of Victoria the likes of which this country has never seen.
Melbourne will never - and I mean never - recover.
Maybe.

Isn't it funny that the very same ideology who has been banging hard against the 1pc for decades is now ready to sacrifice the 99.9 for the 0.1pc
Think about it. ROL
