A MUST-READ from @DaveMilbo "This newspaper has editors. Important people who sign off on every one of these stupid, wrong, quite often racist pieces. These aren’t mistakes, they’re decisions... It was life & death this year & The Herald Sun chose death."

"As the Premier said, he ignored the loudest voices. Their sense of entitlement amidst an emergency was troubling and wrong, and they ought be mature and honest enough to admit it. Again – don’t hold your breath," writes Jon Faine. | OPINION https://t.co/Cx2jIqYzIw
I'm not Victorian either and I didn't hear all of this, but I found Frydenberg's 40 decibel screeching and histrionics deeply, deeply offensive.
Victorians deserved a bit of grace but with Josh Frydenberg's outburst, adolescent rancour prevailed https://t.co/4pi2SYAmVF
The folks at @TheNewDailyAu have republished my column from this week (minus a few words, most of them of the swear variety). Give them some love if you are so inclined; they do good work!

WHERE is Liberal Party ambassador Peta Credlin? She dramatically promised Melburnians on Friday night she'd be a daily fixture at the Dan Andrews pressers. She's skipped 2 out of 2 since then. #WhereIsLNPeta#COVID19Vic
The Big Smoke's @mattreddin has shown up the Guardian and other independent outlets with an honest look back on #ThisIsNotJournalism and the troubling media coverage of #COVID19Vic. This is how it's done 👇 #ThisIsJournalism#auspol https://t.co/r4KwHkm1fo
Worth reading this interesting SBS piece on Murdoch coverage in Victoria ahead of watching part 3 of the ABC doco tonight. Such a charming family and culture: https://t.co/ODxhfx5HHn
FFS! In response to 62% approval in polls for @DanielAndrewsMP this headline by The Australian: “Voters not ready to slam Andrews for his errors just yet”. 🤣😩 “News Corp slammed for ‘unbalanced’ reporting on Victorian Premier” Ya think? #auspol https://t.co/snXyxBiWIk
I dont care what you think. BUT.
Let's look at some evidence. Victoria. Was 700 cases per day, and doubling ever 4 days!! On the brink of catastrophic!
Today, 21 cases on the brink of post-covid normal.
Next to no where on earth (democratic country) has done that in ~5wks
70% of Victorians approve of the way Premier Andrews is handling is job, but 76% say the Victorian Government should compensate small business. The third Roy Morgan Snap SMS survey on Victoria’s Stage 4 restrictions shows 70% approval of Premier... #vicpol https://t.co/Xbo3koiFAJ
YET AGAIN
Murdoch's News Corp goes full frontal in the Herald Sun with false and misleading information.
Daniel Andrews:
The documents "Are Out of Date and Have NO Status"

@NickMcCallum7@3AW693 I saw a photographer with a giant zoom lense camera presumedly from the H/Sun given today’s cover being spoken to by police at Ocean Grove beach for not wearing a mask. Only person they spoke to. I also saw lots of happy kids & parents swimming, surfing and socially distancing.
Getting back to normal won't ever be an option if we can't protect what we've already achieved.
These changes are about saving lives and keeping Victorians safe - nothing more, nothing less.
