The root cause of what's happened in Victoria has been the flaunting of the widely publicised rules following calls from the likes of Clive Palmer and Scott Morrison to end restrictions and to open up borders. Andrews was reluctant to do so and cited residual data to support his stance.
But Sam Newman and imbecilic footyheads were gifted prime television coverage by irresponsible television stations to demand that Andrews terminate Victoria's restrictions. they painted Andrews as Victoria's Darth Vader.
As for what Liberal leaders including Morrison and Victoria's O'Brien demanded - together with those above they undermined Andrews.
Indeed; people took their lead from Morrison, O'Brien, Newman and Murdoch Mouthpieces as even security guards began having sex with quarantined travellers in defiance of the restrictions; leaving Andrews no choice but to restore Stage 3 restrictions as soon as data indicated that Genie was again out of the bottle.
