CV and mad panic behaviour

Quarantine was Dan again doing it his way instead of taking up the offer of military/police help

Police help? The police commissioner made it clear the police were only prepared to be the 2nd line of defence, i.e. if someone escaped from quarantine, they’d find them and bring them back. Other than that, they were involved in the “ring of steel” to keep Melburnians from fleeing to regional areas. As for the military, it seemed Scotty from Marketing was quite willing to use them as political pawns, threatening to pull them out if Victoria didn’t toe the Federal government’s line on lockdowns and the like. He refused to honour a request for a nominated number of soldiers at one stage to man the borders.

And yes, there should be more funding for health and in particular pandemic preparedness. That’s what happens when Jeff Kennett’s Razor gangs cut things to the bone in the health system.
