Victoriaâs Acting Premier James Merlino has taken a savage jab at the federal government, saying it would be âincredibly poorâ if the commonwealth did not support businesses struggling in lockdown.
Small business owners and casual workers were dealt another crushing blow on Wednesday when the Victorian government announced an extra seven days of lockdown for Greater Melbourne.
Stubborn case numbers and the threat of the Indian variant of the virus âexplodingâ led health authorities to its latest decision after six new local infections in the past 24 hours.
The government has made a stunning admission over the bungled vaccine rollout in nursing homes, admitting they don’t know how many workers have had the jab.

Subscriber only I was vaccinated on Friday. And, the damnedest thing, now a little voice in my ear keeps whispering: This is Bill Gates. Buy Microsoft. No, wait. The thought in my head is actually: Enough! There s no excuse left for another Melbourne-style lockdown. This must be the last, no matter how many unvaccinated conspiracy theorists then die, crying: The virus is a hoax! It is not for governments to force these people to take the vaccine. Our governments had one job: to make sure they offered protection to people most likely to be killed by this coronavirus.
