It s a little rich for Andrews government to brag about saving lives

It s a ‘little rich’ for Andrews government to ‘brag about saving lives’17/12/2020|3min Sky News host Rita Panahi says it is a “little rich” for the Andrews government to brag about saving lives after Victoria’s Ombudsmen recommended the state government apologise amid findings of a human rights breach. It comes after Ombudsman Deborah Glass found there was a breach in human rights when the Victorian government put nine public housing towers in lockdown on July 4 as a result of spiralling coronavirus cases. Ms Glass recommended the state government issue an apology to tower residents. “She has said the government should apologise but she is kidding herself because the Dan Andrews government is a law unto itself,” Ms Panahi said.

Melbourne s rushed public housing lockdown breached human rights, Ombudsman finds

Share on Twitter The immediacy of the hard lockdown of nine public housing towers in Melbourne was not based on direct health advice and violated state human rights laws, the Victorian Ombudsman has found.  The Ombudsman s report, tabled in parliament on Thursday, said the rushed lockdown of the towers in North Melbourne and Flemington on 4 July amid spiralling coronavirus infections was not compatible with the residents human rights , an allegation disputed by the state government.  Following an outbreak of COVID-19 cases linked to the buildings, about 3,000 residents across nine towers were prevented from leaving their apartments for any reason for at least five days, in restrictions that were significantly more onerous than the wider Melbourne lockdown.
