only 1 new case overnight, linked to other cases and has been in isolation so all good for the planned partial parole for Friday.

A private members bill being introduced to make the government put on the table what the "health advice" was that informs decision making.

Doubt it will get up but something like that should. It's easy for politicians and bureaucrats to say their decisions are based on the health advice but no one knows who is providing that advice or what it is. A bit of transparency might be nice.

In Victoria, 1 new local case and 0 O/S. 83 actives cases. 28,485 test results reported. The two local cases are said to be "linked to the current outbreaks". It is reported that the "new locally-acquired case is linked to the current outbreaks and has been quarantining during their infectious period."

The State has had to hold off its press conference. There's a bigger one happening at Club Headquarters.

So Merlino has exported the Melbourne virus to QLD, hopefully he doesn’t have the same effect as Dan did with his exporting.

You must have missed the press conference. The question was asked and specifically answered in the press conference. This is merely the opposition trying to score a political point & make themselves heard. It’s a nonsense unless ur a right wing nutter. The information is out there & is very transparent.

Welcome back, it's been so civil without you.

yes I missed the press conference, I don't watch blatant spin exercises.

Please enlighten us all about this transparent information on who provides the advice that noone knows about.

By transparent information, Merlino says they answer all questions at press conferences and that's all people need to know...

Of course ignoring the hundred times they answer, we'll get back to you on that and never does, I can't answer that, or just simply it's based on the best health advice line they use another hundred times a press conference but don't ever actually release it at all.

Typical government spin, for example last year Brett Sutton when he was finally allowed a press conference without Dan he openly admitted there was zero health advice to support outdoor mask wearing, yet we did it and still do...

I don't bother to watch the press conferences, I actually have work to do and it's easy to read the detail on proper media like the herald Sun, Age and ABC. If I want to know what's on Sky News it seems you could tell me, I'd have NFI.

So it's clear from your response that there is no transparent information and you spoke crap. yet again.
