Luke Darcy Challenges Daniel Andrews Over The Handling Of The Extended Lockdown

On the Hot Breakfast.


7 September 2020

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews joined the Hot Breakfast this morning following yesterday's announcement about the roadmap out of lockdown.

Luke Darcy challenged the Premier about the handling of the extended lockdown and questioned if a number of aspects of the roadmap were the right approach. 

Darcy held the view that the impact on people's mental health and wellbeing outweighs the pay off of a hard lockdown to eradicate the virus. 

He also questioned why other independent experts weren't consulted in the drafting of the roadmap so that other approaches could be considered. 

It was a fascinating debate, catch the full interview below.
