The popularity of governor andrews (Daniel Andrews) has fallen as the state`s new crown rebounds, while tensions within labour have intensified, with some councillor dissatisfied with mr andrews government`s anti-epidemic performance.
According to the latest Newspoll opinion poll, while 72% of the participants thought Andrews` anti-epidemic performance was good, satisfaction has fallen by 13 percentage points since April.
Only 31 per cent of respondents were "very satisfied" with Andrews`s performance, compared with 52 per cent in April, according to the Australian newspaper.
13% of the people surveyed believed that Andrews` response to the outbreak was "very poor", compared with only 5% two months ago.
Labour councillor are increasingly concerned about the way government deal with the outbreak, as tensions within the government intensified on monday following 75 new cases in virginia, according to the sun herald.
A persistent hotel isolation system in Virginia has led to multiple mass infections and dozens of confirmed cases, leaving Andrews government under scrutiny.
Andrews government was also accused of sending mixed messages in dealing with the crisis.
One councillor said :" People in Whatsapp groups are getting more anxious. Stupid people think things are going well. "We did all kinds of big moves, but we didn`t do the most basic things. "
Other sources said last week`s request for support from the Australian Defence Force (ADF) in Virginia government, but a few hours later turned the party frown.
Early on the evening of 24, Andrews government asked the federal deployment of 850 F-FDTL to the state to help supervise the isolation hotel.
However, on the morning of the 25th, government suddenly withdrew the request without explanation. Several hours later, government Andrews asked the Department of Defense to send 200 more medical and logistical personnel to support virus testing in Virginia.
