The Victorian government has 'broken all rights to stay in office': Murray

Sky News host Paul Murray says the Victorian government, by it’s own standards, has broken all rights to stay in office.

His comment comes after it was revealed 768 people contracted and died of COVID-19 as a result of the spread of the virus through mismanagement of hotel quarantine.

Mr Murray said the Andrews government had “passed laws which said the suits in the boardrooms of Melbourne would be held personally responsible if someone died as a result of a safety problem on a construction site.”

“Well, 760 people have died as a result of the decision not to put police or the ADF on guard in those hotel rooms,” he said.

Mr Murray said Daniel Andrews had sat in National Cabinet, where other states discussed what they were doing to manage the virus.

“For some reason, he never realised or ever brought it up that Victoria was doing something different - and Victoria was doing something different because the police said they didn’t want to do the job,” he said.

“Ministers did not question that decision.

“The premier did not question that decision.

“768 people are dead as a result of that decision.

“The same parliament, the same cabinet, the same ministers, the same premier, who passed a law that said, if you’re a suit, in that building company, you’ll be personally responsible if someone dies on your watch.

“Well what does accountability mean when its 768 people premier.”
