Victoria's opposition leader is calling for the government to reveal the health advice behind the extended lockdown.

Michael O'Brien says the decision to extend the lockdown today has taken Victoria from a circuit-breaker to heart-breaker."

It's also going to go for more than seven days than the government has announced, because they've already said Melburnians won't be able to travel for the Queen's Birthday long weekend.

So it looks like we're facing up for a lockdown until at least that Monday of the Queen's Birthday weekend, and that's a real concern.

It's not good enough to simply have a press conference. Victorians are seeing their lives turned upside down by this lockdown, and we need to see the health advice on which it's based.
