I know and understand that. We’ll do everything we possibly can to support you. I’m grateful to each and every one of you. Premier Daniel Andrews: (46:35) Yeah. And that’s what it comes down to. And what that means is that every single positive case will be door knocked multiple times random and repeat door knocks. Yeah. Anything short of a massive reduction in movement around the community will mean that virus will keep spreading; anything short of a massive reduction in movement across the community will mean more virus, not less, more restrictions, not less. It’s about which setting you attribute those to and there’s work going on right now to try and clarify that. We use them to ascertain from people, when they’re working with us and they’re assisting us they’re entitled to speak to people and ask the questions, “Why are you out and about here?” So it gives us, if you like, a workforce multiply from our perspective, they assist in that regard. Professor Cheng: (01:30:13) But what I can say to you, Rachel, and to all Victorians, know if it is being spared, everyone is working as hard as they possibly can. Yeah. Latest in Lifestyle. Because we know the upper house is, against the advice of the CHO direction. Premier Daniel Andrews: (01:23:21) You can’t ever have enough people to provide that care. But again, thank you to those who are doing the right thing. The results are a $200 penalty for not wearing a mask when you are out of your home. Premier Daniel Andrews: (01:32:29) As she did … Speaker 18: (01:28:00) That’s the key point here. How much movement will that add? And it’s not too much to ask that you wear a mask in order to avoid that nurse having to treat more patients than they otherwise would. Will that be changed now? I’m grateful to you. How much will that movement then undermine our general push to try and have as little movement as possible? Rachel: (01:00:40) They’ll be out there enforcing whether you can go to work. So I’m not in a position to say that, nor is is a concern for Victoria police as to how many pay the fine. And that is of course, taking you to the magistrate’s court where the maximum penalty that can be applied to you is $20,000. Shane Patton: (45:12) That’s what you’re going to have to do. But one common framework is probably easier so the Victoria police are not having to interpret whether something’s genuine or not. I am proud of each and every one of you. Professor Cheng: (01:31:22) The advice is there. That was not something that had been drawn to my attention, but I’m more than happy to follow that up. And that’s why I can announce today a new on the spot fine. Oh, Shane. But we will do that, because it’s not about those issues. I’m not sure what about the reasons, but I do know that it is being used now. So there’s very, sometimes a fine line, but from our point of view, yes, we take action if there’s criminal offenses of incitement, we haven’t seen that to date. It is very, very difficult. It’s absolutely necessary to assume that you’ve got it. So the level they were operating at, because again … and if you think about it, that makes complete sense. Okay. Including today’s figures, that would be 124 aged care in Victoria. … in a two parent household, do both parents need to be contributing workers? I apologize to those who were doing the right thing, but we simply have no choice, but to move to that setting. Sometimes between that and expressing a view about, an opinion about, what people might or might not be able to say to try and get out of an infringement or to potentially get through a checkpoint. And that’s why dramatically reducing movement, not just in Melbourne, but in regional Victoria as well, it’s a big cost, but there’ll be a commensurate benefit if we can get beyond this. Masks are contributing to that. And I’m confident that Victorian businesses, employers, will step up and give people that added flexibility if, for instance, the absence of childcare makes the kind of working from home that’s been a feature of the last few months really, really tough. We will have now because of the curfew, we’ll have significant police and PSOs out there, not just in vehicles and doing if you like to static checks. It’s not so much about whether it’s a yes or no. A bit like the point that the chief commissioner made about discretion, there won’t be a heavy-handed approach. No, we haven’t asked Facebook to remove anything. The vast majority of people are doing the right thing and for those who are, I thank you. Speaker 17: (01:26:07) Speaker 28: (01:36:32) When the ADF and the police go out to enforce the CHO’s directions, why do they have to go out in such a large group? Professor Cheng: (01:31:48) That’s why the lead in period was so important. Dan andrews press conference mp3 & mp4. Premier Daniel Andrews: (46:44) Premier Daniel Andrews: (01:14:49) More than 800 of those homes, the person who should have been isolating could not be found. But you’ve got to also use that data to assume that there’s more of it out there than you think. Shane Patton: (40:47) Those matters aren’t settled yet, but I’ll leave it to the prime minister to make those announcements. Speaker 23: (01:32:13) Oh, look, clearly if there was anything that was offensive, that was against the law, we would engage with Facebook as we do in relation to those matters, but people are entitled to their views, but not when they’re unlawful. I’ve had a number of very lengthy exchanges with the prime minister this morning. Rev › Blog › Transcripts › Press Conference Transcripts › Premier Dan Andrews Press Conference Transcript as Victoria Returns to Lockdown August 4 Daniel Andrews, the Premier of Victoria, held a press conference on August 4 to address new coronavirus precautions in the state. Premier Daniel Andrews: (50:03) There are literally hundreds of people that are taking calls and clarifying advice. And that’s what’s happening at the moment. And then you’ve got to isolate at home while you wait for your test result. Do we have an update on how many of them are being fined? Well, they’re COVID free to the best of our knowledge. I have my official Australian government press credentials. And it also tells us that if we continue to say people who should be at home not being at home, then we won’t drive these numbers down. Sure. There are provisions in place to deal with those who think that police and other emergency services can be treated that way. Just on tradies, we know there’s a lot of people who work by themselves, they do outdoor work, so they literally have zero contact with anybody else. Eight vehicle checkpoints right around the restricted area, those permanent ones where we’re checking the access and egress right throughout the state. So there’s literally apart from getting emergency medical care, so going to the emergency department, most likely in an ambulance. Just on stage four restrictions, what does success look like? I think people, and I’m grateful that people I’m sure appreciate that this is a big task and this is absolutely unique. Close contacts is obviously a bigger challenge because you’ve got to get that data from the long form interview. Are there any more for me before I have a momentary break from your questions? That’s 439 more than yesterday. Everybody all right to go? Is it only for looks? There is a process to avoid a fine ultimately, but it’s against a very high threshold. Yes, they will be teams of people moving around, making sure that everybody complies. And if there are any insecure work issues, if there are financial issues, then there is that $300 payment. Beyond that though, it’s also about providing support, providing information, providing clarity. “I had sufficient symptoms to get tested.” Therefore, it is not unreasonable to assume that you’ve got it. What’s changed? Speaker 5: (01:03:34) Every police officer, right throughout our organization in any patrol car has I responsibility for COVID-19 enforcement and that’s what they’ll be doing. It’s entirely a matter for them. So that’s why there’s not a specific penalty. Thanks for joining us for the daily update. I would hope that it would be, yes, in single figures, but we need to see how we go over the next couple of weeks. If you are supposed to be at home and you are not, then you face the prospect of a fine of up to $5,000. The Premier looked his best against a pretty green backdrop which I now know to be the Parliament House gardens. I don’t know everyone’s names, but I do have an answer for that question. That’s the key point. Rachel: (59:51) And that’s why the permit system is so, so important. State of disaster provisions put that matter beyond doubt. Premier Daniel Andrews: (01:04:07) And I apologize to those who are doing the right thing. … Victoria and they are growing, then you have no choice but to make the really difficult decision to come down on this hard and to try and make sure that we do everything we can to keep those numbers low and to stop the position in regional Victoria deteriorating. So parliament is a matter for the presiding officers. But it is around, the laboratories have confirmed around 21,000 tests that were conducted yesterday. Thanks Minister. If not, we’ll hold them to account. And I’m pleased to say that those arrangements, the JobKeeper and JobSeeker at the higher level, that continues well beyond this six week window. It’s why we’re putting in place additional police and the chief commissioner we’ll talk about the additional police that are being tasked to the enforcement role, as well as the additional PSOs that are being tasked to the enforcement role. And I do make the point again, that the vast majority of Victorians, regardless of their virus status, regardless of where they live, what they do for a living, their income level, all of those things. Thank you to everyone who’s doing the right thing, but they no doubt if you’re not, Victoria police have the powers and the ability to enforce these directives, whatever that takes. Shane Patton: (01:37:10) It just costs too much money? Candice, let me follow that up. In the last week, we’ve seen a trend in emergency if you like of groups of people, small groups, but nonetheless concerning groups who classify themselves as sovereign citizens, whatever that might mean. But, again, if we thought that there was widespread instances of that, then we can take further steps. So it’s on childcare, occasional care, babysitting in the home, those arrangements, we will have more to say and we’ll do it as soon as we possibly can. I just have one last question for you. Premier Daniel Andrews: (51:58) It is not too much to ask. Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews held a September 27 press conference on COVID-19 & quarantine updates. That’s what the science tells us. Wouldn’t they be more effective if they could split up into smaller groups and work in different areas? Get a weekly digest of the week’s most important transcripts in your inbox. This is clearly the biggest job, the biggest commitment that we have at the moment. Premier Daniel Andrews: (01:18:17) I think that people have got a right to know and understand what’s going on in different settings. For heaven’s sake. But if we don’t, then we will never get to the other side of this. It’s a one in 100 year event and we’ve got to get this job done. I think that’s a really, really good thing. The police officer’s been concussed. If you’re not at home, then you will be fined. 'There have, I am sad to say, been 683 Victorians who have lost their life due to this global pandemic. This matter was drawn to my attention this morning, that there is … the numbers down the line between the federal government website and the numbers that we’ve given you. Have you asked Facebook to take any pages down at all? And I’ve heard a few reports of that. Shane Patton: (41:20) Lisa: (36:29) There will always be a need to clarify things as well. We don’t have an update today, but as soon as we can provide you with any further information about what’s happened, we will. Speaker 16: (01:25:13) I’ll see you tomorrow. Do you know why there’s this discrepancy in numbers and why Victorian Health Department’s figures are so much lower? You will finish up in a situation where you’re closed, incurring considerable expense. Is there any penalty for it though? Thank you. The curfew is obviously significant because we expect to see much reduced movement right around the state. Premier Daniel Andrews: (01:37:38) But at the same time, it’s also an opportunity to explain, to provide information, to provide clarity. Or you’re doing urgent maintenance, a pipe has burst, you’re a plumber, you come to the home to fix that. It’s not just about compliance. I would hope that it will be much substantially lower, further down than now. Shane Patton: (42:13) So they have to reduce their operations by 33%. Is that an indication that masks are having some effect towards [crosstalk 00:01:25:47]. But the advice is, and it’s not just advice from our public health team, although that would’ve been enough, but it’s advice that’s confirmed by the Federal Public Health team as well, that that’s a very difficult, heartbreaking, but proportionate and necessary decision to make, and that’s why we’ve made it. So there’s an engagement. Shane Patton: (41:43) First things first, there are 12,335 cumulative cases of coronavirus in Victoria. Not off peak base, but off what the base was last week, because at that level, it was still too high because we’re seeing far too many cases. There’ll always be issues where it’s not quite clear. The chief health officer has provided advice, we have followed that advice. It’s a pretty simple process. We saw people last night, someone who was driving to a bottle shop at three in the morning to get alcohol. We’re looking for ways to try and do that. And I appreciate that there is significant concern about this. Speaker 12: (01:20:12) Speaker 24: (01:32:29) I mean, people will make applications for review on occasions, people will contest them, some will just pay them. Premier Daniel Andrews: (01:21:44) I’m going to take any questions you have. And to the extent that we can over time, if we can provide you with updates on what the consequences of that further police work is, then we’re more than happy to do that. And then to react like that is just completely over the top. And this has been a very difficult year for members of Victoria police. So that, that part of the is within that 24 hours. And I think that’s very, very important. And I want to thank each and every one of those Victoria police members who are out there putting their lives on the line in enforcing these penalties and enforcing these directives. So why do they need to be with you? That’s exactly what it is. I spoke about the CBD. James: (01:07:00) Otherwise we won’t achieve what it is we’re trying to achieve, less people moving around the community. Speaker 27: (01:35:59) Lisa: (39:10) Speaker 7: (01:09:36) Well, obviously we have … to the best extent possible, we followed the eligibility criteria that JobKeeper has followed. I can’t rule that out. In fact, they’ll be wearing multiple masks, a face shield, gowns, and gloves. That is not acceptable. Premier, of the 800 that were found to not be at home, how many of them have been referred to Victorian police? And police are out there putting themselves in harm’s way. Is there someone in business who can go [inaudible 01:01:36] been set up to? In advance of questions, I’m happy to take any questions. And for particularly selfish behavior, the opportunity to take you to court where the maximum penalty is in fact, $20,000. And thank you to the vast majority of people who are doing that. If you don’t, we will be enforcing those. And I think are getting quicker, can it get quicker again? We’ll inform people and we’ll try and, but might get a simple and as easy to understand as we possibly can.
