Victorian Labor Govt Wants Judge to Dismiss Lockdown Class Action Claims
The Victorian Labor government has asked a judge to dismiss legal claims of economic loss and mental injury by individuals and businesses who were impacted during the state’s second wave, describing the claims as “futile.”
The class actions, which workers and businesses have brought, claim that the state’s handling of hotel quarantine, which allowed the CCP virus to leak into the community, was negligent and caused foreseeable loss.
The claims, however, do not argue that restrictions should not have been imposed.
In the worker class action, the lead plaintiff, Jordan Roberts, who was made redundant from his job in Tullamarine on Aug. 14, 2020, during Victoria’s stage four restrictions, is filing a lawsuit against the state for economic loss and psychiatric injury.

“I think I might have started when I was ten and I played for a couple of different clubs. I played for Keilor Park before the NPL and Spring Hills and when I was around 14 I came to Heidelberg when the NPL started and since then I haven’t left.

It may be a small shop in on a quiet Keilor Park street in Melbourne’s north west but Theo’s Greek Cakes has long been a beacon for anyone with a sweet tooth, particularly for those with a hankering for unique Greek confectionaries.
The Theo who lends his name to the shop at 11A Foster’s Road, is Theologos Karanikolas and he draws on a century-long family tradition in the confectionary business on Leros in the Dodecanesse, starting with his grandfather who passed on that knowledge to Mr Karanikolas’ father who, in turn, passed on what he knew to his son.
