Simone (it may be Simaya?) is asking some very good questions.
What are they?
Sumeya (sp?)
It was about Hotel Quarantine.
There are no answers though.
And rightly so. No point saying for so long that he’s not commenting on other evidence given or anything to do with hotel quarantine and then start commenting on it.
He won’t comment until a report comes about.
Honing in on DHHS being the lead agency, whereas DHHS witnesses saying that shared responsibility. Does that mean more heads will roll.
It’s Someya, from the Rage
This is the hardest sumeyya(actual spelling) has gone from what I’ve seen.
It’s rather simple…
If you want him to answer a question, don’t frame it around the inquiry. Just ask the question without reference to it.
But it’s far better…
To ask the question…
Get him to not answer…
Repeat all reports from the last few months and keep them rolling on for clicks.
The one with the hoodie, I mistook her for Simone yesterday.
Head scarf but yeah
Something about reassignment of a DHHS official.
A matter for DHHS Secretary, not Ministers.
Q for Merlino - can kids go back to school earlier.
Not yet, depends on developments.
Journos getting instructions to ask more about schools - readers may be parents
She had her first job as a Journalist with one of our local rags. Nice kid, she was honest, polite, diligent and had integrity.
Then she joined the Age. …
Did Rachel have toys as a kid?
What about all the suffering inflicted by the argy bargy between Feds and State on financial support?
Jobkeeper is Federal. Frydenberg is a Victoria… Why don’t you ask him about Jobseeker Jobkeeper - he’s out and about a lot.
No current plans for international flights. Not getting pushback from other States, Vic took far more travellers than most others.

I’ve only just noticed her in the last week or so.
She usually doesn’t ask loaded questions.
Today she asked, how can you have confidence in x when at the hotel enquiry she said y.
She got the normal response that’s had since the inquiry was established.
She then back pedalled and said, all I’m asking is how is your confidence in x. He corrected her and said, that’s not what was asked.
There was another part where she said you can answer questions about hotel quarantine. There’s no law against it (or something along those lines). So why don’t you just answer the questions.
He answered that normally. If he answered them at the podium there’d be no need for an inquiry…
Anyway…
She’s more likely to ask well formed questions without appearing to hang someone on the answer.
He’s a stand up human being.
Feels like she’s gonna tee off with a massive hit piece soon.
To Sumeyya
You have drawn conclusions at what went wrong in hotels. I will wait for Inquiry conclusions. Up to them to issue interim findings before November.
Qs to Merlino on managing Al Taqwa - a special case. Other schools involved one or two cases.
Dan steps in, refers to policy people embedded in public health teams, NSW impressed with that.
Chip Le Grand has written an article on Mikakos.
It’s likely a question from others to try and get that article into a constant cycle.
A sort of…
Getting in early on the Mikakos is at fault line.
