Below is what the ABC reported on the 10th July 2020.
14 days after the BLM march in Melbourne new Covid infections reported rose to 25.
On June 9th Andrews gloated new reported cases were zero.
In my opinion that decision to not stop the BLM illegal protest was the start of the worst lockdown in the history of Australia. And the hotel quarantine fell apart. All on the watch of Daniel Andrews.
The link and damage caused is irrefutable.

One month and one day ago was the last time Victoria recorded zero fresh coronavirus cases in a 24-hour period.
On June 9, the state's Premier Daniel Andrews declared it "a very good result",
but warned the situation could change rapidly.It did.
On Friday Victoria recorded 288 new coronavirus cases, the worst daily increase of any state or territory since the pandemic began, breezing past the previous record of 212 cases in NSW in late March.
This is the trajectory new cases took since the last day of no new cases in the state:
Signs of a cluster beginning to emerge in the state appeared by mid-June.
"A day like this can make me nervous", Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said on June 17, announcing 21 new cases of the virus, most of which were in hotel quarantine.
By the next weekend, Mr Andrews
was announcing a pause on the lifting of restrictions, and reimposing a limit on the number of people Victorians could welcome into the homes.
On the evening of Sunday June 21 the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC)
advised against travel to six local government areas where clusters were thought to be.Over the next week the number of new cases dipped slightly, but officials maintained that stay-at-home orders for affected areas were on the cards.
Cases began to rise rapidly from then.
At the end of the month, the Premier warned that if he did not take action and lock down 31 suburbs in Melbourne —
home to more than 300,000 people — he would have to lock down "every suburb".
In the evening of July 1, those suburbs went into lockdown, in just a week the rest of Greater Melbourne and the neighbouring Mitchell Shire would follow.
But in an attempt to stave off a city-wide lockdown,
the harshest restrictions in Australia were imposed on the residents of nine public housing towers, with people in the apartments confined to their homes under police guard.
