60 mill could have been spent on the hospital workers getting proper PPE gear and not the cheap Chinese shizen carp they ended up with..source Frankston hospital staff.

Among a number of others, I was right there with this govt when they slammed the brakes on the initial outbreak. Ripper. But the 2nd outbreak has revealed incompetence and lies. As I posted earlier, FFS the Federal Govt must assume central control of future pandemics and hand control to the military and science/medicos. When real leadership is required, pollies have shown they're not up to it... and ScoMo needn't be so smug, remember him holidaying whilst lives were being lost in fires? He apologized... good, and got into action. Now, Dan, you've apologized... but now you have to act, decisively and with clinical objectivity, unless you're a part of the problem - and if you don't act, then we know you likely are.

Yes, there has been a serious and incredibly stupid betrayal of public trust and there must be accountability. But your obvious political bias is blinding you I suggest. The Victoria economy has not been destroyed to isolate just one of your dramatic assertions. Damaged? Yes, but never, ever, underestimate the indomitable spirit and resilience of the Australian people. Despite the stupidity and incompetence of many politicians (all sides) and many greedy banking/corporate leaders, we've recovered from their breathtaking inabilities, and will again.

Park your emotive disdain for Dan Andrews for a moment. And your obvious personal hatred for the bloke is obvious, however... have a bit of trust in those who will rebuild, over time, the VIC economy - us. There's a challenge in front of us, well, two... firstly, isolate and reveal exactly who the liars are in this state Govt, then let's get on with rebuilding the place.

It was pretty obvious from yesterday's statements this was going to happen, but it is a good thing, because she was absolutely inept.

And it it... she was pretty damning of Andrews, making it clear she felt like she had been thrown under the bus by him
