The results results indicated only 42 per cent of Victorians now rated Victoria Police highly for their ethics and honesty compared to to a record high 76 percent in mid-2017.Īs Victorians emerge from their fifth lockdown to the 'wanted posters' of Victorians most likely at wits end, many will rightfully wonder: 'what isn't batsh*t crazy anymore'.Ĭara's at it again! Delevingne looks worse for wear after being dragged out of star-studded party. It's little wonder a Roy Morgan snap SMS survey on Victoria’s Stage Four restrictions last year suggested Victoria Police had suffered a public relations nightmare amid disturbing allegations of heavy handed tactics. On Wednesday, he again presented as if he was reading from a script delivered directly from Daniel Andrews' office. 'I mean it's just crazy, it's batsh*t crazy nonsense.' 'They're taking every opportunity to leverage the current situation to serve their ridiculous notions about so called sovereign citizens, about constitutional issues and about how 5G is going to kill your grandkids,' he said of a previous protest. The rant came as Dandenong residents all decided to take walks at the same time. 'I'm sick of it.'įlinders Street Station in Melbourne became a meeting place for Black Lives Matters protesters as Victoria entered lockdown last year 'I feel a bit like a dog returning to eat his own vomit,' he crowed last year. Since then, Victoria Police has embarked on a massive show of force on Melbourne's streets.Įach time, it has been Mr Patton's assistant commissioner, Luke Cornelius, behind the microphone. 'But look, police made the call that the notion of trying to arrest 10,000 people was just not something that could be practically done.'
'I don’t think you do your cause any good by going out and protesting. 'We indicated to everybody involved that they should not be protesting, it’s not time for a protest, make your point some other way,' Mr Andrews told Triple M radio on July 8. Police stood back and watched on as thousands marched along Melbourne's streets following the death of Black American George Floyd at the knee of police.Ī month after it happened, the premier blamed the protest on police. On June 6 last year, as Victorians went into what would be the longest lockdown in human history, thousands of protesters hit the streets of Melbourne in the 'Black Lives Matter' protest. The same might not be said of his underling Mr Cornelius, who has a long history of seemingly towing the political chain of the Victorian premier. Mr Patton - a no nonsense cop admired for his street cred among members - has made it well known he doesn't get involved in political games. 'We’re all human and it is challenging and, you know, everyone’s got an excuse for not doing this and perhaps doing that,' Mr Andrews squeaked.Ĭommissioner Shane Patton claimed police were only ever assisting the health department with its investigation.Īn anti-lockdown protester waves a flare during the protest last weekend

Roll forward to Tuesday - the day before Victorians were to be set free - and the matter was quietly put to bed.
'The book would be thrown at them', Victorians were promised. The premier and his cronies had talked tough back then as they justified the breach to lock down Victorians. This was despite footage showing them breaching their workers’ permits by not wearing masks and failing to socially distance outside Maribyrnong’s Ariele Apartments on July 8. In fact, they walked scot free with a $200 fine from Premier Daniel Andrews' health department. On Tuesday, it was revealed the New South Wales removalists who sparked Victoria's fifth lockdown would not be charged. This lot faced fines of up to $18,174 and would be charged under the Dangerous Goods Act. Police warned those that set off flares at the protest 'endangered not only police but people in the vicinity'. 'Flares burn at more than 1000C and pose a serious risk when discharged in crowded spaces,' the spiel went.
