TOTAL LOCKDOWN: More than 3,000 residents unable to leave their homes as COVID cases in Victoria surgesVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews has taken the unprecedented step to lock down 3,000 residents in nine public housing estates in the suburbs of Flemington and North Melbourne for five days from Sunday. The extraordinary measures come as Victoria recorded 108 new coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, the highest since March 28. The number of postcodes now under lockdown has risen to 12.

Approximately 500 police officers per shift will enforce the lockdown in what Mr Andrews called an "unprecedented" police response. Premier Andrews acknowledged the logistical difficulties providing food for over 3,000 people. "Can I just say to all Victorians these numbers are a very real concern to all of us. That’s why it is so, so important that if you have symptoms you come forward and get tested," he said.

Commie Dan is a hypocrite he tells everybody to stay at home, but he allowed mass gatherings of BLM protests 98% of them not practicing social distancing. And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Daniel Andrews, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'

... and paying hush money and free rent to all long term unemployed living there, why? Support the ones that can’t get to work, but why paying the ones who would never think about looking for work...

DanielAndrewsMP I hope your corporate sponsors are paying you enough to overcome the retribution that’s coming to you! Perhaps you could just move to China and save us all the hassle?! We know who you are loyal too.

Meggone2 China called--they said he followed orders very well

3,000 residents in public housing locked in their homes. Is this Vic or China? Dan Andrews is a joke of a Premier foisting mismanagement debacles on us. He should resign & take his dodgy ministers with him DanielAndrewsMP springst

We ARE NOT FOOLED that ComradDan is exerting his Totalitarian AUTHORITY.. everything he’s doing is unconstitutional!! And he knows it BUT he’s in BED with China & he’s taking down the state of Victoria!!

All very sad 😔

Pick on the powerless for politics & optics. Go Dan the Man! ehh mean 'person'.

Gulags.

The whole of Victoria will be contaminated before long, then the whole state will be out of bounds. Oh dear 😱 😂😂😂😂😂

Two weeks ago SA didn’t open it’s borders to Victoria and Dan is like, ‘Look I don't want to be offensive to South Australians but why would you want to go there?'. Then the Karma bus pulled up 🤣🤣🤣

booooooooooooooooo!

If people practiced physical distancing and stayed TF home, isolated or self quarantined when they should have, we would not be here. 100% grateful to Dan Andrews trying to control the FU of stupid people. Sky news, get off Dans back.

Ppl is a fucking flu why are you listening to unlawful foreigner corporation pretending to be our government!!!

Daniel Andrews is a leader. Protecting Melburnians despite the pressures. Putting healthcare first. Victoria auspol

Why the panic when there are only 25ppl in hospital?

Lockdown will illuminate the multitude of criminality dwelling in these towers of despair. How will narcotics dealers prowl the hallways? How will rampant domestic violence proceed uninterrupted? How will culture prevent thorough testing? DanielAndrewsMP VictoriaPolice

Yes, let's lock them all in together like the 'RUBY PRINCESS' just on land............................. because that worked out great for NSW.

All this Covid talk but no talk of yearly flu So, no flu because COVID has all the flu suspects? Not one mention of yearly flu Australia wide, BTW flu killed 900+ here in 2019. But, COVID has killed 103 and the world goes into panic mode. What is really going on Truth pls!!

Why 5 days of quarantine All isolation has been for 14 days… what’s the point

Imagine if a Liberal Premier specifically licked down social housing. The protests will be never-ending. This is Zali Steggall type hypocrisy

I feel sorry for these people but poverty is not an excuse for being unhygienic.

If you not open the infection and death toll of 'Corona virus 19' in self-proclaimed Israeli and Jewish of nations. Europe and all countries can be more cruel and dangerous.

If covid spreads in nsw I can see protests demanding resignation of Gladys and her government.

But they can protest if they wish

Dan Andrews on the run chasing his tail to plug the holes created by his own fuck ups. The mess you have created on CV-19 will be your legacy!

I noticed he had locked down 3000 people, now he’s sending 3000 Chinese to do the security in that district and then possibly sleep with some of the locked down residents . Now when the Chinese finish that they’ll then bend Andrew’s over re belt and roads .

If there is a protest planned for next week that is all they are allowed to go out for right😂

Sell it to china

You are ruining the state honestly Victoria is in a pathetic mess

This falls directly at the feet of dictator Dan, this is under his watch, he wanted the glory earlier, now take the brickbats..

A leader profile that others in other states could well learn. Look after your own first, over populist outsiders playing political party games.

I will never keep to lockdown again. It is Dan's fault and I won't listen to him unless he sacks the responsible person.

For info CDF_Aust It is not about a virus.

Almost time to send in the Stazi to weld the doors shut

Horse racing went ahead today in flemington. Lock down a suburb but ok for horse racing and gambling ?

I have been very critical of DanAndrews, but seriously what else can you do, there is no script to follow ? Herdimmunity ?

Dumbo Needs To Resign ! BLM Protest In Melbourne Was His DownFall.

Melbourne, as of 04/7/20 you are living in a totalitarian state.

Residents are hoping the Victorian government uses the same private security guards to monitor the lockdown lol.

Is this a form of racism ? Very ethnic diverse neighbourhood and low socio economic demographic

Welcome to Fvckedville, Mexico.

Wouldn't happen to be the same communities which would have been well represented at the blm protest? Just asking.

Effective Leadership on display! Watch & learn.
