This was reported in The Australian late this afternoon. Solomon Lew is one of the most senior and respected business leaders in Australia. He is a mate of Linday Fox who is close to Andrews.
Probably a taste of things to come.

Lew savages Andrews over Vic lockdown
Billionaire retailer Solomon Lew has savaged the Victorian government led by Premier Daniel Andrews for not acting more decisively and sooner in combating the coronavirus pandemic, saying the government could have prevented unnecessary illness and deaths in the community.
In a blistering attack on Premier Andrews, Mr Lew, who owns the multi billion dollar fashion empire under his Premier Investments company, said there will be significant economic consequences to the harsh restrictions announced today.
He said there would be considerable consequences to the initial inaction of the Victorian Premier in the early days and months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The situation in Victoria has escalated and public health needs to be protected above all else. While this is the right step, acting sooner could have prevented a lot of illness and unnecessary deaths,” Mr Lew said in a statement this afternoon.
His Premier Investments company owns chains such as Portmans, Dotti, Just Jeans, Peter Alexander and Smiggle while his family also owns a large portfolio of fashion businesses.
PMV shares fell 4pc in Monday’s session to $16.09.
