Daniel Andrews (pictured) has been nominated for a political leadership awardDaniel Andrews has been nominated for a political leadership award despite presiding over three lockdowns and a coronavirus disaster which killed 801 Victorians. Liberal MP James Newbury said Mr Andrews' nomination for the award was a 'disgrace'. Referring to Victoria's current five-day lockdown, Mr Newbury added: 'Without warning, and because of his incompetence, he has shut down our state. During the four-month lockdown, residents were only allowed out of their homes to exercise for an hour. The McKinnon prize judging panel noted that Mr Andrews was 'criticised for the devastating failings of Victoria's hotel quarantine system'.
