Victorian premier Daniel Andrews has taken a swipe at the lockdown measures implemented in New South Wales as his government tightened restrictions for people applying for permits to enter Victoria from red zones throughout Australia. ‘They’re not locked into Sydney so they must be locked out of Victoria’, Andrews said. ‘I remind you all we had a ring of steel around Melbourne last year and it didn’t just protect country Victoria, it protected the whole country.’ When asked by a reporter if he would like New South Wales to introduce a ring of steel, Andrews said ‘That’s a matter for them. I don’t want to see more cases from Sydney.’

Typical. He’s such a glaring disappointment.
im confused, the video ended before i could even see daniel andrews take a swipe at NSW.
This is from Google in regards to "State of Emergency"
A state of emergency derives from a governmental declaration made in response to an extraordinary situation posing a fundamental threat to the country. … States of emergency are not uncommon occurrences, particularly in dictatorial regimes where the state of emergency may endure as long as the regime lasts
This is unedited, uncut and just coped and pasted from Google. Victoria may come out of this lockdown, but the SOE?… Probably not. It's already been extended for another 12 months, so—- figure it out for yourself. The State of Emergency can also override the Constitution and common rights [such as rights to free movement for example].
My hero saving the whole country single handed you go dan.
Victoria had a peak of 700 cases while NSW with the Delta Variant is at 117 peak. and is looking like it's coming down.
Victoria will be out of lockdown most likely end of next week. NSW will still be at the same case nunbers as when they started. Someone tell Glady that doing a bit here and a bit there doesn't work. The whole state will be closed by end of the month!
You mr big ears are as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
Wheres all the news articles on all the deaths this killer virus is causing?
EVIL people destroying our lives
the devil in disguise
Gladys single handedly stuffed up the entire country with her arrogance.
Dictator Dan Jung Un should keep dictating his own state. I think he is a disgrace to our country.
It’s official. You can now be a refugee within your own country
States not even working together, Classic Australia 🇦🇺
The image of both makes me thow up
And yet Andrews managed to fly in and out of QLD and ACT during last year's lockdown many, many times while the rest of us remained trapped in our homes and the only people who died were in aged care where no-one was allowed to visit. You're not a hero Dan.
I never thought I would see such indifference in State leaders. It makes me imagine the prospect of an Australian Civil war. Absolutely unprecedented.
Why stay in lockdown especially when there's so much at stake here..in terms of people's genuine well being..I'd say this is a very heavy handed type leadership
YOU WILL BE IN STEEL SOON, STEEL BARS
Too true Dan, he didn't let any cases slip out of last years lockdown and we were all the better for it.
Children playing games with peoples livelihoods
We’re on day 178 of lockdowns here in Melbourne.
Three simple steps to get rid of covid; 1. walk in to your lunchroom. 2. Get your TV of the wall. 3. Throw your TV through the window.
Deceptive headline. Andrews didn't do at all what the headline states.
