A seven-day state-wide lockdown in Australia was not based on science but a lie that COVID-19 was found in wastewater, an official admitted.
Australians are airing their grievances with Victoria Premier Dan Andrews after he admitted he cited non-existent coronavirus-tainted sewage in his decision to lock down the state.
Andrews announced a seven-day statewide shut down on August 5 in response to the “wastewater detection” of Covid-19 in Wangaratta, a rural city about 236km (147 miles) from Melbourne.

The discovery creates the “potential that regional Victorians have been exposed to Covid-19,” Andrews explained.
The decision to widen restrictions to include the whole state was designed to “keep regional Victoria safe,” the premier added.
