Chilling new reality for Victorians with Dan Andrews to confine 6.8 million to their homes or leave them facing jail or bankruptcy with $90K fines, cutting them off the dole, freezing bank accounts(?)

Daniel Andrews will be able to lock down Victorians at the drop of a hat under ‘extreme and dangerous’ new laws. 

The premier is giving himself the power to declare a pandemic for an unlimited period of time even if there are no cases of a virus. 

The chilling move means if a new variant of Covid arises, the State Government could issue pandemic orders ‘by decree’ to confine Victorians in their homes once again. 

The health minister will have the power to make ‘any order’ he deems ‘reasonably necessary’ including lockdowns, vaccine mandates and enforced mask-wearing. 

Lawyers have even raised fears the Government will use the law to target people for their ‘political beliefs’ in a repressive clampdown more familiar to communist North Korea or China than Australia. 

Victorians can also face huge fines of up to $90,870 for breaking the rules by taking off their masks or leaving home for a non-authorised reason, while businesses can be fined up to $454,350 for serious breaches.
