They'd just wear a mask..
Selfish idiots will always find a loophole.
That's a start. They then need to put said loopholes over their ears. It's not that hard
Mikakos refusing to answer questions or surrender documents. Surprise, surprise.
Toothless tiger of an inquiry.

They already do provide this data. Its why I use this website. Way more detail around cases than just the high level numbers given on most websites.
3,011,288 Coronavirus Cases and 1,432 Active in Victoria - COVID Live
Live tracking of coronavirus cases, active, tests, deaths, ICU, hospitalisations and vaccinations in Victoria

Yeah, not a bad website but the number of unknowns in the source of infection means we still don't have all the detail.
Anyway, after today, here's where we are:
And, as a graph:
That is not a nice curve.
Noticed less cars on the roads today and less people walking around at the beach. But the local shopping street is still quite busy, everyone wearing masks though. I went to the supermarket just to grab a few things and people still ambling about. I just get in and get out. I suppose if they are ding a large shop for a week or two it is ok.

Seriously? The Government call an enquiry and then refuse to hand over documents. Hard to see how Mikakos can survive/ PRE's own resident doc Joe G should be able to provide some insight.
I am no Mikakos fan but this is not correct
She was asked a series of questions in parliament which she didn't answer on time but they were submitted 5 hours late. In those answers she wouldn't answer questions about Hotel Quarantine because she said that detail had been provided to the inquiry, which is true.
The LNP were playing politics but asking those questions. All it would have done was have some people at DHHS spending the day preparing the answers rather than doing what they should have been doing.
Don't take that as a defence of her from me because personally I believe she is a very weak Health Minister.
Mikakos and her staff have had time to compile information for this inquiry. I doubt she then had DHHS staff scurrying around yesterday afternoon, she was just trying to avoid giving answers ie playing politics.
Also, Justice Coate came out and said yesterday that the inquiry in no way prohibits anyone from answering questions outside the inquiry itself. Andrews and his sycophants have been bullshitting us all along. They know how damning the evidence of the hotel quarantine *smile* up is and they are trying to avoid it by whatever means possible.
Basket case.

It doesn't say. May well be because that date puts Victoria highest on the list. They could go back a day or two and the change is 580% or 592%.
More important to be paying $650 million per year (2018) and keep the unions happy down at the desal plant and of course we obviously needed the pipeline from the Goulburn to Sugarloaf which allegedly won't work, for $1Billion to guarantee the water supply. Let's not worry about the $1.1 Billion to cancel a tunnel project.
To have a half decent government you need an equivalent opposition. .. Sadly, I think we're rooted!

What she didn’t provide was information for parliamentary questions not for the inquiry. The information for the inquiry has been supplied
Yeah, the Libs keep throwing up lightweights in Guy and OBrien.
The best person they had by far was John Pesutto who took Ted baillieus seat and lost it at the last election. He is far and away the best person to lead the LNP In Victoria imo. Classic “small l” liberal.
They need someone to stamp down on idiots like Smith who does far more harm than good with his childish barbs.
You're spot on Sin. Pesutto is a very good operator and a small l liberal. He would be a perfect choice to lead them and it's a real shame he lost his seat at the 2018 landslide election. I heard him on ABC radio last week and he was very reasonable.
Hopefully they can get him back in at the next election. It's a much better state of affairs when both parties have decent leaders. A very rare occurrence these days I know.
Agreed, John Pesuto was definitely one of their better candidates.
The grace that he showed when it was revealed live on-air that he had lost his seat was very impressive, and showed he is all about the community rather than personal ambition.
Tim Smith is an insuferable Gobshite.
