In comparison, the NSW presser "we're asking the community to take personal responsibility".
Dom is coming across confident. Tells journos to make sure they report on hospital numbers, not just cases.
"We trust our health system in NSW, we've invested in it heavily and we have confidence in our people".
This is like watching something from another country. Surreal.
He's openly hammering the media to stop focusing on case numbers and instead focus on hospital and ICU numbers. Talks about the importance of living alongside the virus and 'people taking personal responsibility'.

This is WILD.
Between watching the VIC presser and NSW presser it is outrageously blatant how hard the media froth hard reductions 😐

New Pandemic Orders are up.
Brief notes based off the main questions received.
In short - other than the under 18's being exempt now they changed very little except the fines, which are pretty outrageous.
Bizarrely, they did the exact same penalty units for 'failure to comply with an Order'. For ALL the orders. It's 60 units for a person, 300 units for a company. That's $10,898.4 and $54,492. The govt will now fine you over $10k for not wearing a mask. This is not a joke.
This is outlined under the Movement and Gathering Order which relates to mandating masks. The only exception to this is a 'restricted retail premises', which are defined as just beauty and hair - they're exempt from the mask mandate on site.

Comments on the Pandemic Bill/ SOE ending, etc.
- yes, they will have something in place before midnight tomorrow, they didn't dog half of Parl getting the bill through to not use it.
- a lack of a clear plan and/or info 24hrs before is ridiculous, unnecessary & sloppy goverance.
- reminder that Dan is away so it'll be Foley & Merlino announcing whatever happens.
- had the first 🐦 come in about the mandates getting dropped. General rule is 3+ for validity. Stay tuned.
- NSW saying they won't change their plans only adds to the pressure for VIC to follow.
- dropping it all at high vx rates was always meant to be the national plan, not that this gets brought up very often 🙄
- under sect 165AP every Order must have docs published online (for the public to access) within 7 days that outline the following:

Bach asks Stitt, Min for Workplace safety, why they allowed MPs to run the debate for so long.
She tries to blame the Libs for delaying the debate.
'Those who elect us would expect us to do whatever it takes to pass legislation to protect health & safety'. #qt
Follows up asking if there's any workplace laws that allow for 25hours of work straight.
Stitt says 'well you care about health so much you should vote for everything we present in future on this'. Yes that was the final response.
Ondarchie *asks very short question if Min for local Govt supports renaming Moreland*.
Leane *yelling for 5min about slave plantation history in the state*.

Pandemic Bill officially kicks off. Comments below.
This stage kicks off with no running sheet, which is unusual. Davis makes a point of this, as well as the continual lack of wider consulatation in the community (again).
Davis listing off all the people in the community who have been affected, and will be affected, by these new powers who have not had the chance to speak and be heard. Wants a proper Parliamentary enquiry into the bill.
