Police are investigating whether Daniel Andrews breached his own Covid rules by walking outside without a mask as state reported a record 1,838 new infections.

Victoria Police revealed on Friday morning that officers are probing video which showed the Premier heading to a news conference on Thursday.

'As the incident is being reviewed by investigators we will not be providing further comment at this stage,' a spokesperson said.

Video filmed by Seven News journalist Paul Dowsley showed Mr Andrews walking up to a microphone stand with his briefcase and passing a small group of media.

The footage sparked outrage with talkback radio hosts and social media users condemning the Premier for his missing face-covering.

This is the person who is making Victorians wear masks outside. I don't think anybody should have to, but if he's going to make such rules, he should damned well follow them himself.

The Covid-zero delusion is unmasked.

“wear masks outside”

I see it here and people alone in their cars and riding bikes.
Insane karens.

Do as I say,not as I do. In the US stories like this are a dime a dozen...Governors and Mayors demanding that the population hide under their beds while they're vacationing in Hawaii or Mexico...Speaker Pelosi spotted at a hair salon despite the Governor of California have ordered all such establishments closed. And when the video was publicized she demanded that she was set up.

Many Western politicians live their lives knowing that the rules don't apply to them.

Make them live up to their own rules.

Of course he did.

It’s SOP for leftists to exempt themselves from the rules and restrictions they impose on the unwashed.

In the socialist paradise the nomenklatura don’t have to live like their slaves have to.
