It’s shameful and unjustifiable that Victorian bureaucrats can deny an exemption to crowd limits for a child’s funeral while granting them for film crews and construction sites.
Health Minister Martin Foley is not up to the job.
On Tuesday he again indulged in the most infantile politicking by repeatedly blaming South Australia for Victoria’s latest lockdown.
I don’t recall the Victorian government taking responsibility for the large cluster of infections in Sydney in July and August that were traced back to Melbourne, and I don’t recall NSW blaming Victoria for the outbreak. Nor did NSW lock down the whole state.
By far the most shameful episode under Foley’s watch has been his department rejecting a grieving mother’s request for an exemption to the 10-person limit for her eight-year-old son’s funeral. The decision to refuse an exemption for Cooper Onyett’s funeral was needlessly cruel and unjustifiable.
