The resolution I moved was carried indicating the Chamber’s view that the curfew was not grounded on health or policing advice. Victoria’s Upper House has called for Daniel Andrews’ curfew to be lifted immediately.
The Chamber has also called for Daniel Andrews’ secret documents on the curfew to be delivered to the Upper House by Friday.
The community knows the Chief Health Officer and the Chief Commissioner of Police have disowned Andrews’ curfew.
Andrews has also not explained where the curfew came from and whose ideas it was. It’s time he came clean.
Labor’s curfew is not based on health evidence nor on a request from the police. It appears to have been dreamed up by Daniel Andrews in his bunker at 1 Treasury Place.
Given Daniel Andrews’ arrogance and disdain for the Parliament it is likely he will seek to ignore the legitimate democratic expression of the peoples’ representatives.
