After the resignation of Victoria’s health minister, Jenny Mikakos, on Saturday morning it is interesting to look at contracts records on the Victorian government’s website. The $30m contract between Unified Security and the government for “security services at accommodation during Covid-19 isolation” has the jobs, precincts and regions department listed as the public body involved with the contract.
The starting date on the contract is 29 March, but the contract was signed on 9 April. The signatures are redacted.
British prime minister Boris Johnson will tell the UN general assembly that the coronavirus pandemic has frayed the bonds between nations and will urge world leaders to unite against the common foe of Covid-19.
He will use his speech on Saturday to say that nine months into the pandemic, the very notion of the international community looks tattered, Associated Press reports.
