BREAKING: Victoria’s State of Emergency could be extended for another 12 months, Premier DanielAndrewsMP has said, under legislation changes that will be introduced in September.

, Premier Berejiklian said.

"The rates of community transmission in Queensland are very low. We should really be careful when we take those big decisions, because it does adversely impact communities."New Zealand has recorded another nine cases of COVID-19, including eight cases linked to the Auckland cluster. Of the eight community cases, one of the new people infected came into contact with another person who had the virus while travelling on a bus, while another new case was contracted at a church.

“People will be able to see, in their local area, whether there has been an exposure to a known case in their community,” she said. “I think we are going to engage with all parties in the Victorian Parliament quite soon to talk about those changes and hopefully we can both have a very important agreement about how and when the Parliament sits and then we can have an orderly process to make those necessary changes,” Mr Andrews said.Sally Rawsthorne

DanielAndrewsMP Dan love your work and commitment to the state of Victoria - Dan put a bit of money into the crunch triage workers at the pointy end this crisis not the crap but the area of mental health services that provide the real interventions.

DanielAndrewsMP Victoria government not scrutinising the first quarantine properly now another serious lock down Could see some people not coping, you wonder what the government is thinking?

DanielAndrewsMP Why are people surprised about death toll in Victoria. Over 70% are elderly patients with pre-existing conditions, as was the case in Lombardy Italy where the toll consistently was 90%+ elderly. And again New York, elderly made up 70%+. Same result had they caught common FLU.

DanielAndrewsMP DanielAndrewsMP will save the lives of Victorians, no matter how many he needs to kill to do so!

DanielAndrewsMP cases dont correlate with deaths like they did in April-May, this smell very political

DanielAndrewsMP So many stupid people here ... FFS This is not an extension of Stage 4 lockdown restrictions. It's a change to the law governing State of Emergency / Disaster.

DanielAndrewsMP study by Insight+ concluded the impact of Covid on aus community forecast13.7% increase in the suicide rate between 2020-25, increasing the forecast suicides by 19,878,self harm cases by 173,123 &ppl accessing mh services 1.6m.When r these s going 2b taken into consideration?

DanielAndrewsMP Tell the Chairman he's dreaming.

DanielAndrewsMP IStandWithDan

DanielAndrewsMP Good luck with trying to enforce any further lockdowns as I don't think many intelligent people will be taking any notice

DanielAndrewsMP Another power mad progressive. This was always going to happen.

DanielAndrewsMP It’s a sad time for Victorians. Very scary and I can only dream of brighter days

DanielAndrewsMP Stop this Andrews has gone Mad

DanielAndrewsMP Not necessary.. our state is in enough shit already

DanielAndrewsMP vicexit springst auspol

DanielAndrewsMP Dump Dictator Dan

DanielAndrewsMP Y'all should run for your lives DanielAndrewsMP and his Jewish masters are drunk on power. runforestrun COVID19Victoria

DanielAndrewsMP Daniel... I think it should be extended longer... the more they complain the longer it gets... and stage 5 just to stick it to em...

DanielAndrewsMP BREAKING: thousands take to the streets demanding the resignation of Chairman Dan. 14/09/2020

DanielAndrewsMP Lockdowns are pointless. Problem isn’t going away. How about this: - Concerned about covid? Take precautions as you see fit. - Not concerned about covid? Get on with your life - Protect the vulnerable as necessary - Remove Andrews and accomplices from office auspol Freedom

Progressive_Con DanielAndrewsMP IStandWithDan

DanielAndrewsMP Sick and tired to listening to panic pushers

DanielAndrewsMP No plan B...shit premier

DanielAndrewsMP

DanielAndrewsMP Dan Andrews wants to extend the State of Emergency for another 12 months. The Premier, Health Minister & CHO should all resign because they obviously have no faith in the current Restrictions they have imposed on Victorians.

DanielAndrewsMP Absolutely Rubbish, if the legislation is passed DanielAndrewsMP has the power to enforce it. Who’s to say he’s going to extend it🤷‍♂️ Stop trying to scare the nuffies on here for fks sake!

DanielAndrewsMP Nope

DanielAndrewsMP WHAT A FAR LEFT SOCIALIST DICTATOR!!! THIS CANNOT HAPPEN WE ARE NOT A COMMUNIST COUNTRY DanielAndrewsMP JUST CANNOT LET GO OF THE POWER. HE MUST BE STOPPED michaelobrienmp ScottMorrisonMP

DanielAndrewsMP What justifications can there be to change the maximum from 6 - 12 months? How can this be seen as anything other than an attempt to avoid limit accountability?

DanielAndrewsMP All the catastrophizers! State of emergency and disaster allows the Gov to implement quicker strategy and funding to help both people and businesses. It isn’t just about restrictions. Also, people saying they’d rather get Covid, look into long term health issues.

DanielAndrewsMP Govt or parliament ?

DanielAndrewsMP Goes to show we in Aus, don’t have genuine leaders that care for the state of their own people! People will start commit suicide because of mental health! Can’t wait to see the back of Andrews. I understand wearing masks for longer but lockdown has to be lifted.

DanielAndrewsMP DanielAndrewsMP 'The Premier Who Cried Wolf'.

DanielAndrewsMP ChrisCheney23 thelivingendaus This is not the end - State of Emergency

noeltowell DanielAndrewsMP Probably required, but I wouldn’t trust Andrews to run a primary school raffle! He and the DHHS have proven themselves clueless. Why wouldn’t they just concede this and copy eveything NSW are doing?! They already eliminated it once, and are doing it again! covid19australia

DanielAndrewsMP Dictator Dan wants to keep his powers, I hope parliament blocks the 12 months extension, 3 months would be a start but we cant have this dictator taking another 12 months of total control. What is next ?

DanielAndrewsMP the actual content in the presser was that the legislation will be amended to ALLOW for a state of emergency to be enacted for another 12 months, it's so interesting seeing how reporters twist what is said

DanielAndrewsMP what emergency

DanielAndrewsMP If you people allow this, it’s your own fault.

DanielAndrewsMP

DanielAndrewsMP Dictator!

DanielAndrewsMP Good

DanielAndrewsMP It would be good to get information that there isn’t another disaster lurking. Are checks being made on the 4,000 active cases to ensure they are staying home? Are these checks door knocks? How frequent? Random? What follow up is done if people aren’t home?

DanielAndrewsMP Who’s Still trust WHO? Not me

DanielAndrewsMP As if this is a bad thing? Literally the only logical course to stay safe.

DanielAndrewsMP Nanny state

DanielAndrewsMP Real percentage rates of cases per daily testing numbers instead of useless daily raw figures of number of cases thanks...!

DanielAndrewsMP How hard would it be to hold an online vote for Victoria in regard to this New stateofemergency It's clear the state Parliament passes any legislation put forth with fudged numbers and no opposition! fairisfair

DanielAndrewsMP People of Victoria time to rise march and kick this incompetent corrupt lying dictator out

DanielAndrewsMP What a fucking disgrace this pathetic power hungry Premier is who seems hell bent on destroying Victoria over something no worse than the Flu. We are being conned and royally screwed for nothing.

DanielAndrewsMP dictatorDan cannot be trusted with this power. We need our parliament back so he can be held accountable.

DanielAndrewsMP No bloody way!!!!!

DanielAndrewsMP Makes perfect sense! Eg. when someone tests positive to the virus, mandatory quarantine is what should still happen. As does maintaining ongoing Covid Safe Plans for any business. Keep it in context. To believe that life will go back to normal post stage 4 is ridiculous.

DanielAndrewsMP Holy CRAP! The stupidity train is out in force today!!!! Under what batty eyed belief is making you all think this means 12 months of stage 4 restrictions?! The state of emergency allows the government to enforce MASKS & MANDATORY QUARANTINE FOR POSITIVE CASES. THATS IT.

DanielAndrewsMP The time limit is there to protect us from this very situation

DanielAndrewsMP A desperate Premier that will finish off 50% of small business in Victoria. The guys a madman.

DanielAndrewsMP Anyone seen the movie “The Village”?

DanielAndrewsMP How are other states facilitating their continued restrictions on occupancy etc? Do they have ongoing States of Emergency or is it another provision? Do they have the same 6 month limit?

DanielAndrewsMP So our criminal government wants more power? You don't say......

DanielAndrewsMP

DanielAndrewsMP Do not be confused by “this does not mean we are extending the state of disaster or emergency”. It’s there as a provision in case the shit hits the fan again (my words not his)

DanielAndrewsMP HCQisTheCure . HCQisTheCure .

DanielAndrewsMP Victoria will never recover from the first 6 months, let alone another as yet undefined amount of time. I was behind you in the beginning DanielAndrewsMP but not anymore. Bring on the election now.

DanielAndrewsMP Power grab

DanielAndrewsMP Another massive lurch to the left from this shit government

DanielAndrewsMP Welcome to the Socialist Republic of Victoria under Supreme Leader Andrews.

DanielAndrewsMP

DanielAndrewsMP Seriously, has DanielAndrewsMP been studying the Stalin manifesto on how to inhibit individual freedoms and gain unfettered powers.

DanielAndrewsMP Can someone please explain what this means for my fitness regime thanks

DanielAndrewsMP

DanielAndrewsMP I thought there was laws put in place the prohibited the state of emergency lasting more than 6 months?

DanielAndrewsMP So all the people opposing this, I guess we are just going to go to a honesty system where individuals who are diagnosed positive are trusted to stay home? That worked well last time. What about our human rights of not being recklessly infected by selfish individuals?

DanielAndrewsMP Спасибо правда

DanielAndrewsMP Any MP that would vote against this shouldn’t be representing Victorians.This is Public Health not Politics.Don’t imitate imbeciles in the US. Put people before Party or Murdock Media support.

DanielAndrewsMP Here we go, people thinking state of disaster means restrictions. State of disaster just means we will be prepared for the next disaster in the making. Restrictions CAN ease within state of disasters.

DanielAndrewsMP Great headline 2read this am. Signals he’s still on right track & gone up a notch 👏🤞Don’t want our state 2open ‘till 0 cases4 least 2weeks. & borders until like that all over🌎✊🤞Been watching 🌎😰& am furious w NLP & MSM interference😡& individual disinterest & ignorance😡

DanielAndrewsMP If this gets through we are packing up and moving. Which also means closing our family business that we love and have poured our hearts and souls in to.
