cooker eh?The loss of a myriad of arguments around our COVID response.
I could give two ****s about politics; I with a few others, were interested in at least scrutinising some of the more draconian measures, the lengths and severity of lockdowns and Victoria's apparently limitless budget.
As an prime example, Dan taped up playgrounds like there was a murder there, all because he had a tantrum one day about parents getting too chummy at a safe distance outdoors, chatting over their flat whites while the kids played.
And if you dare questioned the Supreme Leader, you got made to feel like you being against the measure was that you were basically in favour of putting a flame thrower through every aged care facility in Melbourne.
This line of argument against those who were in favour of health measures (ie. we weren't anti-vaxxers), was relentless. And all the while all we asked for was a little measured scrutiny and have been proven to be correct in this report, various admissions by Sutton (who was used as a pawn) and via our eye-wateringly high debt.
A cooker shill.cooker eh?

How on earth has that audio of the phone call come out?
Many middle aged women were devo when he stopped doing his pressersGood on him.
Err, that's not the end of my body you reside. But I bet you love it nevertheless.I love that I live in your head rent free!

And just for the lols I'm gonna take off the 'ignore' tag on your posts for a while.
They are not a major secret, recordings can be obtained for any call through FOI
Err no.They are not a major secret, recordings can be obtained for any call through FOI
Err no.
Section 63 of the Triple Zero Victoria Act 2023 sets out clear restrictions on who can access those recordings - they are unable to be released without the express consent of any other relevant person(s) or organisation(s) identified in the call.
To request a triple zero call audio recording, you need to be:
There are obvious confidentiality reasons for these restrictions.
- the person who made the call (or their legal guardian or agent), or
- the lawful guardian or next of kin of a person who made a call, who is either a child or is deceased, or
- a person who is a subject of the Triple Zero Victoria call where the caller has provided consent or cannot be identified.
For example, a politician using Parliamentary privilege to publicly release details of a 000 call for political reasons might reduce the chances of people in future calling the 000 number to report an accident, fire or crime knowing that their personal details and recording of the call could become front page news.
The question of how this particular recording was obtained by a politician and then read into Hansard and provided to particular news organisations (or maybe it happened the other way around as we have seen in this country before) seems to me to be a legitimate and important question.
Was Catherine tending to the kid and calling 000 at the same time with an accurate address description after supposedly being the driver who hit the boy (or had the boy hit him) and potentially in some shock herself?
If so, what the hell was Dan doing and why did he double up on the call?
Or was there a mystery third-party witness?
Yet I’ve completed FOI requests for them in the past…
But you’ll also hear them on TV shows
Clearly someone at the 000 call repository doesn’t like Dan and has illegally shared the recording.Err no.

Triple Zero Victoria has Ministerial authorisation enabling it to release information under the FOI Act that would otherwise be confidential under the Triple Zero Act I quoted previously.
But those authorisations are within strict limitations and purposes, namely:
- educating the community or any section of the community about the role of and the services offered by the Authority
- promoting public health and safety
- responding to complaints, enquiries or compliments about or relating to the Authority, a Member of or acting Member of the Authority or an employee of the Authority
- support for the staff of the Authority, which may include commendations or other recognition
- responding to requests for access to records under the FOI Act so far as the exemptions contained in that Act (other than that contained in s 38 of that Act) do not apply to the information.
I don't see how releasing the Andrews accident 000 call meets those authorisations (maybe point 3 but that would require a public statement from the authority outlining the justification) but I freely admit I don't know the detail of its release.
I've also not seen a statement confirming how Libertarian MP David Limbrick came to hear the recording made by Andrews that he read into Hansard yesterday. His parliamentary statement yesterday calling for the recording to be publicly released suggests to me that it was not an FOI release but was accessed from other sources.
Can you confirm that this particular recording was released under FOI? And if so who made the FOI request and what were the reasons that deemed that release justified?
Because, outside of the obvious political interest, imho this information (how the recording was released for political gain and why) is more important to the public interest than the recording of call itself.
