‘There are questions that need to be answered in Victoria’

Maribyrnong Mayor Sarah Carter says she feels let down not by federal or state governments but by everyday Australians who flouted restrictions and refused testing. “We have to live with this virus until such time there is a vaccine and we need to manage it,” she told Sky News. “The world has changed, our lives have changed and I can’t see us getting back to normal anytime soon. “We have a part to play in managing that and in keeping our community safe and well, that’s why I’d just encourage everyone; if there’s a knock at your door, take the test.” Although she said she didn’t blame the state government for the resurgence in coronavirus cases across Victoria, Mayor Carter said “there are questions that need to be answered”. After it was revealed hotel quarantine failures led to at least 50 cases of coronavirus, Mayor Carter said the system needed to be reconsidered. “Obviously there has been a weak link there and that has contributed in part to the position we find ourselves in now,” she said.
