Premier Daniel Andrews hits out at roadmap critics amid tense COVID press conference

almost 3 years in news

Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews has hit out at critics of the state's roadmap saying – "if you pretend you've got an alternative plan, please provide me with the modeling that backs that up".

It comes as people within the state's business community have said it is a “roadmap to nowhere” as multiple owners are frustrated over the plan, particularly in the hospitality industry.

Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Sally Capp, expressed her frustration over the roadmap as some industries have been left off – including those from the arts industry.

"Everyone's got different views and they are perfectly entitled to their different views," Mr Andrews said at a media conference on Monday.

"But if you pretend that you've got an alternative plan ... please provide me with the detailed modelling that backs that up.

"I don't think that is an unreasonable thing for me to say – this is the plan, we have released the modelling."
