[A thread] Since Dan Andrews' announcement of the lockdown extension and roadmap out, there has been an outpouring of abuse towards him from some elements of the Victorian business community. 1/10 #auspol It was allegedly an attack coordinated by the PMO via its business networks, the BCA and AIG aided and abetted by the usual sycophantic Costello, Murdoch and Stokes media cartel. 2/10 #auspol

[A thread] The @LiberalVictoria branch stacking scandal, along with its associated corruptly-funded party hacks has glaringly exposed the profound gulf of leadership ability between @Scottmorrisonmp and @DanielAndrewsMP. 1/10 #auspol When Labor's Somyurek affair broke in June, Morrison publicly branded it as "corruption" and "a real test for Albanese". Andrews acted quickly, sacking Somyurek within 48 hours from the Labor Party and cabinet, and calling in administrators to audit party memberships 2/10 #auspol

[A thread] When nations face disasters or other existential threats, such as bushfires, terrorist attacks or war, generally politics is put aside and the population strives together to overcome the event. #auspol 1/9 There are many examples - NZ's Christchurch earthquake and mosque shooting, the twin-towers terrorist attack in New York and London in the blitz. In Australia's case bushfires are the most common example. #auspol 2/9

[A Thread] Murdoch press is running a story today that Dan Andrews "ignored" advice from the Fed CHO to stop elective surgeries and moved federal aged care residents into hospitals. It's simply untrue. #auspol 1/7 Andrews is receiving advice from many sources and prioritises actions to ensure all the resources at his disposal are allocated to save as many lives as possible. The Fed CHO is just one of many sources. Not ignored, but not prioritised as Murdoch would have liked. #auspol 2/7
