800 Deaths – Social media campaign to prosecute Victorian Government
800 deaths – The facts are clear. The Vic government must be prosecuted
It would be dangerous to forget or ignore that 800 people died due to the Victorian government’s hotel quarantine disaster. We cannot simply ‘move on’ and pretend that 800 people did not die. That’s dangerous. That’s unsafe.
That’s why today we’re launching the next phase of our campaign to push for the prosecution of the Victorian government under work safety laws. More...
Scary! Victoria’s second attempt at hotel quarantine starts today. Will it be safe????
Today, Monday 7 December, is a rather scary day for Victorians and all Australians. Today is the day that the Victorian government restarts the hotel quarantine program for overseas travellers. The big question is: How safe will this quarantine program be?
The three hotels to open immediately include the Park Royal Airport, Transit Sunshine and Airport T2. Another six hotels are planned to be opened over the next two weeks leading into Christmas. In addition, The Alfred is running two ‘MediHotels, the Novotel Southwharf for complex care and Holiday Inn Flinders Lane for Covid-positive people. One hundred and sixty travellers are expected to arrive daily. More...
The Andrews government should stop picking on the Islamic community over Covid
In the latest of a series of swipes at the Victorian Islamic community, the Dan Andrews government has blamed a Somali family and their Islamic school for the spread of Covid. The family, backed by the community, has hit back saying it’s the government’s fault.
The government’s attack against the community is occurring because the government is trying to deflect blame away from itself for causing the latest Covid outbreak of last week. This has resulted in the continuing Melbourne lockdown. More...
Victorian Labor – The politically walking dead
As a group, the Victorian ALP is politically walking dead. It cannot win the next state election in November 2022.
That is a pretty big claim. Predicting an election outcome two years out is foolish by any measure. But here’s the reasoning.
In Australia’s current political environment each major party can only rely on a locked-on vote of about 35 per cent each. The task at every election is to grab enough of the remaining 30 per cent swinging voters to end up with 50 per cent plus one on election day. More...
Your Vote is your Power – Put Labor last – Victorian Council Elections
Victorian’s feel powerless. But we say: use your VOTE this council election.
Whether you believe that the lockdown is necessary or not, the Victorian Covid-19 mess is the direct result of the huge failures of the Andrews’ Labor government. They admit this.
Politicians only understand your VOTE. More...
We seek prosecution of the Victorian government – Criminal failures
Today we have lodged with the Victorian WorkSafe Authority a letter requesting that the Authority prosecute the Victorian government over failures in relation to the Hotel Quarantine Containment Program. These failures have resulted in 765 deaths to date. More...
We seek investigation of union involvement in hotel quarantine breaches
This morning we released our analysis that explains ‘nothing’—that is, why all senior Victorian government people say they ‘know nothing’ about who made the decision to use security firms for the hotel quarantine program. Yet evidence from the Coate Inquiry points directly to Victorian Trades Hall Council (VTHC) unions as the probable decision-maker/s.
Given the government’s ‘know nothing’ excuses, the possibility that unions made the decision is the most plausible explanation ‘left on the table’. Evidence submitted to the Inquiry points directly to VTHC. More...
We explain ‘nothing’: Why every Victorian Minister and bureaucrat says they ‘know nothing’
“I saw nothing. I heard nothing. I know nothing.” This is the recurring theme that has been the hallmark of the Coate inquiry into the Covid-19 Victorian hotel quarantine failures.
Every senior responsible bureaucrat, Minister and the Premier himself has said, under oath, that they have no idea who or how the decision was made to use private security firms to manage the hotel quarantine. Yet this ‘nothing’ decision resulted in the Victorian Covid-19 outbreak and some 765 deaths to date.
Given that everyone knows ‘nothing’, this ‘nothing’ needs an explanation. More...
