Pt 1/5 A train wreck in five parts. Gladys Berejiklian scoffs at Victoria as she's pressed to define essential work for the lockdown.
"Victoria did it very successfully.
"No they didn't." #nswpol#springst
Pt 2/5 The media continues on the essential work definition subject. Why not suspend some government infrastructure projects to set an example for people? Gladys Berejiklian puts the responsibility back on citizens. #nswpol#springst
Pt 3/5 Media continues putting it to Gladys Berejiklian that by not defining essential work it makes employees powerless. Still not getting it. #springst#nswpol
The bond between Queensland & Victoria is much greater than we know. Qld's greatest premier was TJ Ryan. He was a Victorian. He died in office in 1921. So loved by the Qld people, funding was raised to erect this statue. There are no statues to any other Qld premiers.
Queensland Premier TJ Ryan rests in Toowong cemetery in Brisbane. He was Queensland's greatest premier & the nation's greatest premier. He instigated many of the rights Australians have today. 100 years on, he is with us in these difficult times.
What would Queensland Premier TJ Ryan think now? He'd be along the same lines as Victoria Premier @DanielAndrewsMP & Qld Premier @AnnastaciaMP. I don't think he would be very impressed by the PM or the NSW Premier at this point.
Pt1 of 5. "It says nothing about it telling me anything." Scott Morrison on the text message that indicated the PMO had been advised of alleged rape in 2019. Says PMC secretary investigation has been launched. #BrittanyHiggins#auspol
Pt2 of 5. "I've sought to be as open and honest as I can be about this matter. I've told you everything I know about this matter." Turns to issue of culture and workplace safety in media, legal firms and elsewhere. #BrittanyHiggins#auspol
Pt3 of 5. "That is not a matter that has been established." Scott Morrison says it is exactly as he said in the parliament, no advice to him about alleged rape in April 2019 but has asked department to look into the matter. #BrittanyHiggins#auspol
"Awh, Jesus Christ! I'm fucking Canberra bureau you dickhead!" A hot mic at today's Daniel Andrews press conference shows what Victorian journalists really think. #springst#auspol
"Have you seen my job title?" Victorian journalists don't like being asked if they've done their homework. #springst#auspol
"Have you seen the fucking paper?" Victorian journalists laughing at feedback to their stories. #springst#auspol
Pt 1 of 2 - The GST.
Journalist: I've been asked by Canberra to ask this question. @DanielAndrewsMP: I wonder who in Canberra has asked you to ask this question, Laurel? It's very interesting. #springst#auspol
At lunchtime on March 27, national cabinet decided to enforce mandatory quarantine.Vic police didn't want to staff hotels & the then police comm understood it that private security would be used. The AFP were his 1st choice. #springst#auspol#qldpolnews.com.au/world/coronavi…
In contrast to their southern counterparts, on that afternoon of March 27, the Queensland Police didn't hesitate. They went straight to the wall. I don't have all the info but there's a much greater story to tell here. #qldpol#auspol#springst#nswpolqldaah.wordpress.com/2020/09/26/qld…
