Interesting the amount of sudden interest in Friendlyjordies from the libs and the media. They're finally cottoning on that a viewership of a half million young voters is something to actually be concerned about.

Jordies is new media who they cannot control, reaching an audience they does reject old media and does not care for them. Plus he is also giving exposure to independent journalism in the country and exposing corruption.

11 cases today. Dan reckons big announcements coming on Sunday.

Surely they speed up the easing of restrictions or develop a new road map.

He's going to be on the conservative side. He's one more wave away from being cooked.

It's probably for the best anyway. Not sure how people would cope having to go into a third lockdown.

Eliminating the virus in the state is now a very good scenario, cant blame Andrews for being conservative.

Covid free December and 2021 will beat whatever crap is going on in the rest of the world.

Good luck with that. It’s like ground hog day 4 months later.

Agreed mate

We are nearly there compared 2 months ago, lets kill this bastard and leave in behind us.

As a state we should be happy with ourselves, we have done something very rare in the world

Much rather do it slowly and do it right than rush anything.
Unfortunately, people make that difficult. I had hoped that people would have learned from last time, and wouldn't treat a small relaxation in the rules as 'free reign' again.
From what I've seen so far in the past week, I'm worried. Parties, packed shops, social distancing ignored and people already getting slack with masks.

What have we done better than any state in Australia let alone worrying about the rest of the world. It’s just a waste of time discussing it because liberal people think labor are responsible for the second wave and labor people think they have done a great job getting the numbers low on the second wave. I know where you stand and I’m sure you know where I stand.

Exactly. Compare now to stage 3 the first time. It’s like a carnival Now. People sitting on seats relaxing. I thought things like that were against the rules. Still think it’s caused by lockdown fatigue.

Think we are doing a great job. Liberal media criticise Andrews early on for being too strict, then they criticised for not doing enough, now they criticise for being too strict again. Can't win. Can't believe people buy the nonsense.

Agreed. Can’t believe people don’t think his government were not responsible for 99% of COVID cases the second time around. Must have some facts to it because it’s never been denied. What I find funny is person who thinks this thing is way overblown all of sudden thinks getting rid of it is the way to go.

What is funny is people who use numbers to back up their argument and then criticise those same numbers for being incorrect to also back up their argument. Convenient. You've made a funny comment so I will clarify. I don't think the virus is spreading as much as they say it is, but they think that, so if what it takes for us to come out of lockdown is for them to see this fudged number drop to a point where we don't have to go back into lockdown, then I am all for it.

We will be fine though, our good economic managers will steer us out of this.

What numbers are you talking about? Making it up as you go. I make a joke about my numbers ability but that was the only thing I was good at with school. English is like a second language to me. I wouldn’t suggest numbers are your high point. I think that’s been proven lately. Happy to hear that numbers story though just so I can explain it to you because I honestly don’t know what you are talking about. You might be fine. Bad luck for the many business that won’t be. Waste of time these conversations. As I said previously if you barrack for one party then you will be against the other.

You said 99%. That's the number I was referring to. Making it up as you go.

Not against one or the other but it is so one sided it may look that way. Especially when Liberal run media do whatever they can to censor independent news in this country. Control the narrative, control people who think the party in charge is any good at managing anything let alone money. It's a shame that so many have bought into it but thankfully that is changing.

Overall yes but there seems to be a pattern of behaviour in some people who asasume reduced restrictions means we can stop taking it seriously.
I just hope we've done enough where these types don't compromise everything.

And yes I have 'acquaintences' who somehow are on the 'Dictator Dan' and the 'Pushover Dan isn't doing enough!!!' bandwagon. At the same time.
We live in a time where people get their facts from the Herald Sun, Facebook and their weird echo chambers. Not a day goes by that this doesn't depress me

That number? I didn’t make that up. It was said by experts. No wonder you follow the saints. Now everyone is against labor. Constant theme of people is the chip on the shoulder. By the way isn’t it strange that labor have said that 99% is wrong.

not against one or another? Didn’t your parents point out lying is bad. There is nothing wrong with barracking for labor. I barrack for libs or nobody and unless the libs get a new leader before the next election it will be nobody even after the covid debacle of this government

Think it's just fatigue which is understandable but you look at what the other Labor run states have done and it's clear hard lockdown is required.

Or they just use their own brain to make a decision.

Chip on my shoulder for what exactly haha

I support Labor but not because it is Labor but because I agree with more of what they do than I do with the Liberals. If the Liberals had policies that I agreed with I'd side with them. I don't take things that personally. From the bushfires to the land clearing to the debt I think I'm well justified in who I support.

Good luck to them if their big brains decide to disregard safe practices. Good luck to everyone else, too

Does anyone know what scomo is actually responsible for.

Seems he bobs up to take credit.

When shit hits the fan the states front the press and take the heat.

When its at its worse he bobs up crticising them saying their responsible for implementing everything.

Hes like the worst senior manager you've ever had.

Cant wait for all states to have this under control and then put some serious pressure on the feds to actually manage the international border including quarantine.

So far everything the feds have touched here has been a ****in disaster.

Just out of interest what a huge mistakes that have had long term benefits. I don’t know why I do this to myself. It appears it’s one lib person unhappy with the vic bozo compared to 10 labor people happy with him. Now we have a guy unhappy with scomo. I reckon everyone Yes everyone including federal and state did a great job in the first wave. A few mistakes but a once in a lifetime pandemic can do that
