The government has made no announcements about a new quarantine program, and will not do so until it receives the inquiry's interim report.Unified won the bulk of hotel quarantine work in Melbourne, earning more than $30 million in less than four months. But guards working for the company were infected with COVID-19 in the Rydges on Swanston, which has been linked to at least 90 per cent of cases in Victoria’s second coronavirus wave.
Mr Round, a deputy secretary at the Justice Department, worked in the Premier’s office between 2017 and 2019. Before that, he was an adviser in the office of Julia Gillard while she was prime minister. Neither he nor Mr Kamenev have been asked to give statements to the inquiry.
This was stated from the get go in March! People are seriously suffering memory issues in this country!
What a great idea let’s use a company that hires people who don’t even know how to wash their hands and put them in charge of quarantine during a deadly pandemic. This is why you need to be charged and sentenced to jail. Chairman FUCKTARD Andrews needs to be first to go to jail.
IBAC will be calling
Unemployed...😂 You mean deals with Labor’s union mates....
Yet unified were also used in NSW. Obviously they were on scomos list.
Wonder if anyone noticed that Mr. Moses, the lawyer representing Unified Security at the Coates hearing was the same one representing Premier Gladys at the ICAC hearing. To me that seems strange.
Why the hell is this shit DanielAndrewsMP government providing edited evidence to the inquiry? I thought we wanted to get the the bottom of the hotel quarantine failures, not cover them up.
Kickbacks to Labor $$$$’s
So the priority for this shit DanielAndrewsMP government was not keeping the virus under control but finding jobs for a few unemployed people. Didn’t that work out well!?
This sort of 💩💩is mind blowing. Shows this mob of clowns have no idea.
Whenever I feel like giving Dan a pass for the hotel quarantine debacle you hear about muppets like this appointed for their ideological purity and no common sense. They are the ones who need to be exposed and publicly shamed and have their careers destroyed.
Thanks for continuing to highlight this appalling and obviously corrupt decision from the Vic Govt. It is unacceptable that these emails are largely redacted and Coates is a stooge if she does not demand the full versions. And if everyone “does not know”, Dan should go to jail
So 800 people died because the Dan Andrews govt ministers and senior bureaucrats wanted to feel good about itself. There needs to be a criminal investigation and where found, charges laid all the way to the top. andrew_lund rachelbaxendale SkyNewsAust theheraldsun
If only the Federal Government could find jobs for the unemployed
