LIVE: Tim Smith in trouble for reading his speech off a piece of paper (against the rules). Smith has warn a suit today, presumably trying to look like a leader - fooling no one. #SpringSt
Oops, he's been called out again, and is now in meltdown. Smith, screaming: "WOULD YOU SHUT HER UP"
This is the first time I've seen Smith speak in the house. He is not built for this. Whiny, angsty, scripted and unable to deliver his speech without a script - voice now trembling.
Tim Smith ended up finishing his 'speech' well under time, as he could not continue to read it off his piece of paper, and had nothing to deliver off the cuff.

Peta Credlin is back. Her first statement is 100% false and mistaken. Dan Andrews having none of it, calls her out on the 'simply not correct' statement by Credlin, 'whatever the motivation.' Credlin upset now, raising her voice at Dan, angry at being called out. #IStandWithDan
Credlin just now cut off Dan's response to another journalist's question. Appalling behaviour. Rambling again, drawing her own flawed conclusions, making strange claims. She's raising her voice again, Dan calls her out again for being inaccurate.
Credlin now showing her Liberal Party ambassador colours by defending the Ruby Princess disaster. You can't write this stuff, she's really digging a hole here. Bit of a Qanon feel to her ramblings.

BRUTAL BACKFIRE: Michael O'Brien's doomed no confidence motion has failed. The Victorian Parliament backs #DanAndrews💯.

O'Brien's failure is seen as the last straw for frustrated Vic Libs, as he flails and fails to land a blow, despite months of effort. #IStandWithDan #SpringSt
The performance in the house was a SCREAM. Labor used the opportunity to detail how Andrews Government actions have limited damage, saved lives and stopped spread. Liberals were torn to shreds and weren't able to land a single blow.
Victorians are now confident any other absurdly distasteful time-wasting stunts planned by the opposition will be placed on the back-burner as the Victorian Liberal Party no doubt turns its attention to knifing its leadership problem.

In Victoria there have been 637 #Covid19Vic deaths in #AgedCare so far. Minister for Aged Care Richard Colbeck said there was a plan to prevent this - the Aged Care Royal Commission reports there was #NoPlan. Time to step up, Morrison. Image
The Aged Care Royal Commission special report outlines that Aged Care services are a federal responsibility. It’s clear from the report that the federal government failed to learn from the Aged Care outbreak in NSW in April - it should have created a plan, but did not. #NoPlan Image
It also stated the AHPPC (chaired by the Australian Chief Medical Officer) provided no written guidance during the most critical time (when cases were rapidly increasing). Critical opportunities to slow spread and save lives were missed. Image

In the spirit of #ThisIsNotJournalism, I give you this #AccuracyMatters mega-thread. I will add journalists and flag their misdeeds over time to give us a look at how #COVID19 reporting has failed to the public interest test, particularly in Victoria.
First up, @samanthamaiden who famously gave us 'findings' from the Hotel Quarantine Inquiry months before they will exist:
Next we have @Adam_Creighton who tried to make a point by quoting a political activist known for his extremist views, and who bashed his spouse with a chopping board. Creighton has not retracted or apologised.

HUGE misinformation coming from News Corp this afternoon, I will correct it. The #HotelQuarantine Judicial Inquiry *has not handed down findings* today. Earlier News Corp's Samantha Maiden posted claims the Inquiry had made its findings. This is not true. #ThanksDan
The Judicial Inquiry is expected to deliver its findings in November 2020. Maiden has since deleted the tweet (below) and the story has been changed since these errors were pointed out. Check out the before/after headline and summary below.
Samantha Maiden's tweet (which she has since deleted).

As the world turns to Dan Andrews on how to beat second wave, our media is busy lusting for his scalp, despite overwhelming public support for our democratically elected government. Aged care? Crickets. Ruby Princess? Ruby what? Scomo lion share body count ignored. #IStandWithDan
Every journalist covering #COVID19Vic will have to reflect on their work and ask themselves if they delivered for public interest, or the interest of their employer (or budget allocator). I'm not sure many could honestly say they got this right.
Anger at the media in Victoria is white-hot. Most Victorians (and this has been thoroughly demonstrated) support their government and are working hard to do their bit to fight #COVID19Vic. The media antagonises the public daily with its batshit crazy pitchfork mob mentality.
