Daniel Andrews Approves Of Drone Surveillance By Victoria Police

Video Transcript:

I'm just going to ask you about the police plague this morning. They're going to use drone surveillance over Grand Final this weekend. Are you okay with that? And how, I mean, if I could drill down to a personal level, how would you feel about a drone flying over your nearest park or near your home? Well, I can fly drones over my place because now what I'll be doing anything wrong will be following the rules. And no one should have any problem with that, frankly. But that the police don't ring mean so, they can't premiere, can we use these drones? That's a matter for them. They make those decisions and roadblocks and all that stuff. My job's to give them the resources and the rulebook that they need. I think they've done a great job in very challenging circumstances. And they will use technology to make sure that we can open up. That's what these rules are for. Nothing more, nothing less. It's about using technology and old-fashioned community placing as well. You know, the number of people, this is the thing. In many respects, the most important thing. I will get you the number. I don't have it to hand. There are literally hundreds of thousands of Victorian two-run police assistance line because they've had a suspicion that next door or across the road or down the street are doing the wrong thing. And they're doing the right thing and they're angry about it. And some people have said, look down there and knows that that. I'm dobing in your neighbour. Well, no neighbour has the right to do the wrong thing. We've all got to see this through. I've called out Saturday night. I know it's a special day. I know, normally, we'd all be gathering in lots of different places. I might have a drink with us, I mean, to eat. We'd enjoy the game, whether our team was playing or not. This is a different grand final because it's a different year. And if we want a summer that looks much more like a normal summer, then we can't be going round to our friends' houses or gathering in unlawful groups Saturday night. We just can't do that. It's not worth it. It's just not worth giving back everything we've done and putting it at risk things that I will announce hopefully next week. And then more than come weeks after, we don't want to give that back.
