Mr Andrews said on June 30 "a number" of Victoria's second wave could be linked to hotel quarantine but a fortnight later, Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said it was "conceivable" security guards were responsible for most, if not all, of Victoria's second wave.
Mr Andrews said "at least a significant portion" of Victoria's cases had come from hotel quarantine but it was the Health Department's prerogative to release the genomic sequencing report, not his.Darrian TraynorOpposition leader Michael O'Brien said Victorians deserved clarity on who was responsible for "what will probably wind up to be the biggest public policy failure in this country's history".
"The Premier says the buck stops with him. Well it's not just him. It's his government ... we need to know they are up to the job and until those questions are answered, Victorians don't have confidence and won't have confidence."
MayneReport But Sutton didn’t know before the media that their were problems with the security of hotel quarantine. Mr Sutton first rule of management is monitor policies and procedures that have been implemented. Why? Risk management. Now you have not done this you are incompetent, RESIGN.
Dictators never give answers COVID19Vic disasterdan
He said it was his fault. What else do you want? Who sneezed on whom in a hotel? I don’t understand.
Hang on a minute. Is it refusal if you don’t have the answers? How can someone who claims not to have the knowledge be accused of refusing to answer? He did answer but didn’t have the answers you wanted, so that’s called refusal?
Similarities between New York and Victoria scary
Combative? It was like a Lynch mob. Those Murdoch hacks need to apologise - Rachel, Alex, Jon and James
Let’s draw a line under that and move on in solidarity to focus on controlling this virus.
redshirts I know nothing, branchstacking I know nothing, hotelquarantine stuff ups I know nothing, you have been labor leader for nearly 10 years & premier for nearly 6 years, just what do you know DanielAndrewsMP? ResignDanielAndrews resignDanAndrews
Morrison uses the same excuse and receives no heat - this one has been left in the bubble why the double standards?
Lies lies lies
We are all in this together ANDREWS, l want to know if hotel quarantine debacle and public housing towers are related ? I've heard they are so stop the rumour and talk about it.
Wow that’s what you took away from it! I saw a man stand there answering question after question, genuinely, and to the best he could.
Meanwhile ScottMorrisonMP just flat out ignores questions and you're ok with that?
Where's Dutton ? Andrews is facing up to his responsibilities, unlike many others I could name. This conference lasted 90 minutes, that's what happens when the press ask the same questions over and over and over again. This was a political beat-up and it was disgusting.
Dan Andrews was not combative, the journalists were.
DanielAndrewsMP is neck deep and 🇦🇺 will remember him for his actions and his lies CCPVictoria
Good. Let the media obsess about something else. They're stirring up community dissent and provoking non compliance with necessary COVID restrictions.
Same everyday, figures, crocodile tears and I know nothing..........no regard for the families of the dead whatsoever, with no closure. Political manslaughter.
HE DID NOT REFUSE. He is holding inquiry to get answers. He does not have time to do that himself. I wonder why he doesn’t have time. Oh yeah, THE PANDEMIC. You are pathetic The Age. Victorians are watching these pressers now and media is now exposed for the liars that they are..
Cause the Premier is supposed to be perfect. Right?
The CCP is responsible for the virus. Hear it from the doctor who investigated on behalf of the WHO reference lab:
Victoria has a Trade deal with China.. Trump says China started Virus!.. Victorias 'Virus' spreads ( 'out of control'.. Not!.. a few thousand cases.. Still a very small number! With a 99% survival rate!.. Trump declares war on China!! No2WW3
He's just waiting for that convoy of buses to arrive so he can throw everyone else under them...
Or: “Daniel Andrews further confirmed he would allow the inquiry to run unobstructed from political commentary” Don’t be the Herald Sun.
Dan’s playing this all wrong! He should listen to Morrison’s press conferences. Take 2 questions don’t answer Bring on a nobody to answer the 3rd Walk away job done go to the footy drink beer everyone thinks I’m great 👍
If you don’t have the answers, how do you know the problems have been fixed?
What happened to you The Age? You used to be cool 🙄
That headline is a complete misrepresentation of the press conference, and the sensationalism is beneath you!
He will provide some answers by Christmas!!!
the media were just plain rude today.. what he says is fair enough.. I want to know about the big picture.. which will be what comes out of the inquiry. not just some sensationalist media grab anyway
Dicktator Dan will fight all Victorians on the beaches and in the trenches, cafes and parks!!!!
Can you ask DanielAndrewsMP & VictorianCHO why all state MPs who are assisting their constituents at this time are being told to close their electorate offices? Meanwhile horse racing is essential?
Is he Sgt Saunders from Combat now
I found it appalling that journalists would ask a politician questions? How dare they try and hold to account, the one person responsible for the single biggest blunder in Australian history? IStandWithDan auspol qanda BlackLivesMatter Hillsong RubyPrincess Twitterati
See journalists trying to write themselves out of a job. ThisIsNotJournalism
ThisIsNotJournalism This is
HOTEL ISSUE!! ANCIENT HISTORY in todays situation!! Get up to date MEDIA!! 👎🤪😷😡👎🤪😡
ThisIsNotJournalism
How come there has been no question of the NHPC this is the agreed legislation. They are to for take all responsibilty for all National health emergencies.
I trust you DanielAndrewsMP I hope Victoria does you proud.
australian public discourse at its apex of stupidity. instead of discussing the best solutions for the problem, the discourse is about how can we blame somebody to the max.
i wish ppl would just leave the guy alone, hes got a touch enough job as it is, and seems in an instant ppl forget the LNP pushed and pushed for all borders to be open
MayneReport So. You have your answer - a report will be provided in November. Can we now remove that appallingly abrasive Rachel Whatsername from future press conferences? That way, they'll both finish earlier and be less stressful on everyone, including the viewers.
Delaying his admission of failures
MayneReport “Refuse to provide information” is a dramatically misleading characterisation.
I’d like to point out that the Premier never said that he was legally prevented from answering any questions relating to hotel quarantine. His contention was that he didn’t want to preempt any findings as a result of the inquiry, as he deemed that to be unhelpful to the process.
MayneReport This is not true. Do better michaelfowler08 .
I thought the press went way to far during this press conference. While I am not a resident of Victoria I was impressed that Daniel Andrews did not waiver even though most of us would have been tempted to just say 'stuff it' and walk away.
He's NOT accountable to YOU or your trash 'journos'..(who quite frankly l wouldn't give a job to digging drop dunnies) ....when the Enquiry is finished you will get you answers so until then just FO!!
If Andrews doesn’t know what the lines of authority/responsibility are, how is he going to provide useful evidence at the inquiry? Will Coate have to reconstruct that hierarchy for him?
Well that is a completely inaccurate representation of what happened. He provided answers to what he could. Getting a new editor clearly hasn't help the quality of 'reporting'. NewIdeamagazine has more factual stories these days. 🤦♂️
I'm surprised he didn't tell them to get stuffed..youre no longer reporters..just partisan cheer leaders...next time you cry press freedom don't expect much sympathy
