Wow how fantastic - you clowns. When is the manslaughter case against the Dictator

I still stayed home today.

Big deal Dan, you’re the dick playing politics 🤬

Are we supposed to be grateful?

You GO! Dan IStandWithDanAndrews ThanksDan for attacking COVID19 and putting people before money and politics. I vote DanForPM

That is a false accusation Daniel Andrews has saved small businesses by suppressing the virus in the short term so that in the long term all of the customers to those said businesses are alive and healthy enough to work and earn money then spend it. Andrews also froze rent.

Lockdown extended by 2 weeks, but some see being able to travel an extra 20km to do nothing as a win?!

PETROL PRICE SHOT up to rake in the profits from FREEDOMS?

Thanks Dad
