I was dissapointed McGowan at the time didnt lay out his thinking on what steps would allow things to reopen, what scenarios would preclude it etc. Mostly done that now apart from the State border.

Anyone watching the presser? He is completely contradictory in his speech.
On one hand he is saying the numbers are unacceptably high:
But then that this will be with us for a very very long time. We need a new Covid Normal.
So which is it? We can't keep locking down every time there is an uptake. The damage is nuclear. This thing won't go away next year or the year after.
So what is the overall strategy? The end goal? If it is elimination he just admitted that won't happen. So then what?

My problem with Andrews were how fine happy the police were due to his lockdown
Had a friend get fined because they went one town over because there wasn't a target in that town

I dont think there is a govt in the world with any certainty or knowledge as to how to get out of this.

I know. No one is accepting him to cure the ******* thing. Diseases exist. Just show us the data have a workable strategy and let people assume risks. Like we do everyday in life.
like the bushfires, anything seen as political, my mob is triffic, the other mob is hopeless ......

“I’m not going to lecture or criticise Victorian s”
Yeah, other than the hundreds of times you have throughout this process
Newsflash for the people who blame lifting of restrictions, if that’s the case why no sharp rises elsewhere? Victoria was the slowest to ease any restrictions
Also you cannot expect to keep people locked up after you allow 10k to gather legally. At that stage all credibility is lost. You can all bullshit about it wasn’t the protests, you’ll probably hate the other reason even more, but at that moment no one was going to stay home anymore.

It would be nice if he could do one press conference where he wasn't so politically defensive, and deflecting blame onto easy targets like large families and individuals.

1) Scott Morrison thread That way man--> Scott Morrison - How Long? Part 3
2) Nah. More fun watching you get hot and bothered.
3) I am living rent free in your head. Nice views. Seems this place could use a bit of a clean though.

Never gonna happen. Too much hubris and arrogance.

Didn't other states have protests as well?
Depends, has he laid the blame on the reason For those large family gatherings which are very confined to a certain group, or is he still blaming all Victorian families?

Think it was "Rich" who was the only journo to throw a grenade about the hotel quarantine. Just the sort of press conference that I'd expect from a skilled politician - deflection, time buying, avoiding answers etc.
Demand responsibility for each other, the lowest common denominator is a FAIL.

He is using broad sweeping language which doesn't correlate with where the actual "hotspots" are IMO.
His press conference was infuriating. Openly blamed Victorian's for "not quite doing the right thing".
What I didn't hear was a response as to his decision to refuse AFP and military quarantine help and use private security firms instead, which directly led to key outbreaks and community transmission.
He also spoke about finding a new normal and that this will not go away. What we didn't hear him explain is why in most other states has it gone away and they are largely soon to be able to get back to a normal normal?
It was pathetic his blame shifting and complete total unaccountability for his stuff ups.

Because if he targeted the rich they would take this to court and a lot of this wouldn't stack up.

Imagine the cost to the state due to his mismanagement. Now he is expecting the public to drink more of his kool aid. Begs belief.
He is not wrong, I'm out in the CBD every day and the amount of people who don't wear masks or social distance are terrifying, despite advice/warnings displayed everywhere
Yet if he puts up more rules to get these selfish gits in line, they cry and call him a dictator
Australian society isn't organised enough to deal with a pandemic through self-moderation
