Daniel Andrews,Lockdown

A victim of Daniel Andrews’ snap decision to impose a lockdown on public housing towers in Flemington and North Melbourne in mid-2020 has called on the former Premier to hand back his Order of Australia award.

A victim of Daniel Andrews' snap decision to lockdown public housing towers in North Melbourne has called on the former premier to hand back his Order of Australia award.

One former resident of the North Melbourne public housing towers which Mr Andrews subjected – without warning - to a sudden two-week lockdown said the award was a dismissal of the struggles people subjected to the lockdowns had experienced. “We honestly we felt targeted, And, you know, like we were really different to all the other Victorians,” he said.
