Premier Andrews 'the Houdini' must resign amid latest ADF support revelations

Sky News host Peta Credlin says Daniel Andrews "is Houdini" and if it was any other premier they would have to resign amid the latest revelations to surface showing Prime Minister Scott Morrison had offered the Victorian Premier ADF support.

It has emerged Prime Minister Scott Morrison pressured Daniel Andrews to accept 1000 Australian Defence Force troops to Victoria in July to help the state fight the deadly second wave of COVID-19, according to a series of letters released through Freedom of Information laws.

The letters, obtained by Sky News Australia, were sent from Mr Morrison directly to the Victorian Premier and detail the pressure the Prime Minister placed on Mr Andrews to accept Defence Force help.

Ms Credlin said the close proximity of the letters sent throughout July to the Victorian Premier shows the “escalation of concern in Canberra” as the coronavirus pandemic continued to take hold.

“It’s also important to note that these letters are quite clear to document what was offered, so that if, and when, there would be an inquiry … that there would be a paper trail that would hold the Victorian government and the premier to account.

“I am very intrigued with how this marries with statement after statement after statement from Daniel Andrews that there was no offer, or the offer isn’t as the prime minister said when it's very clearly legally black and white”.
