Upon further reflection I think these comments are so grotesque that this woman must not be awarded an AM, which was announced on Australia Day. I hate saying that, but she must not be recognised in any way as an outstanding Australian.

Andrews calls today’s anti-lockdown protesters “selfish, dangerous, and unlawful” - fair enough. Why then didn’t he use that commentary in June to describe that selfish, dangerous and unlawful BLM protest? Ridiculous double standards.

Note to media. Andrews 6th lockdown is NOT ending in Melbourne at 70% double jabbed. A 25km travel limit, compulsory masks everywhere, a ban on indoor retail and hospitality, and no visitors to your home - they’re the rules at 70% in Melbourne- is still a lockdown.
