Calls to halt Daniel Andrews' statue over ‘unresolved allegations'
'A lot of it was based on a lie, it was just a lie, the problem is he claimed it was health advice and it wasn't,' Mr Davis told Sky News Australia.
'We would all say if you actually followed the health advice, we would have had a different outcome.'

‘A stunt': Fears work-from-home plan will empty Melbourne CBD
The CBD's fragile post-pandemic recovery is under threat from the state government's plan to enshrine a legal right to work from home, business groups claim, arguing it would derail efforts to revitalise Melbourne's economy. The city's office vacancy rate remains the highest in the country, though a new Property Council report shows it is stabilising with a slight decrease in empty CBD offices since January. But there is now widespread fear among the property industry and business groups that Premier Jacinta Allan's plan to give all workers the right to work from home two days a week will reverse the recovery of Melbourne's CBD. In a message to members on Wednesday, the Property Council's national chief executive, Mike Zorbas, was even more strident in his opposition to the new policy, branding it a 'stunt' designed to distract from the government's mounting debt. 'If only the Victorian premier spent half as much time cracking down on the actual criminals crawling all over Victorian government worksites,' he said. 'If only Treasurer [Jim] Chalmers would lend out the Productivity Commission so it could improve the Victorian cabinet.' The number of empty offices in Victoria had been increasing since March 2020 before hitting about 18 per cent in 2024. It has remained relatively steady since. Melbourne has the strongest supply pipeline nationally, with more than 300,000 square metres of new office space planned between 2025 and 2027, with major new projects including 800 Collins, 7 Spencer and 435 Bourke streets.

‘Desperate measures': Victoria's work from home policy to ‘punish' local businesses
Sky News host Sharri Markson discusses Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan's 'desperate measures' as the state government's work from home plan will punish local businesses. 'Bosses were banned from contacting employees after hours in one move by the Albanese government and now they can't even tell workers to come into the office,' Ms Markson said. 'Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has jumped the shark, she has been dubbed the worst premier in Victoria and this has led her to take desperate measures.'
