Daniel Andrews is planning to extend Victoria's state of emergency until December to keep coronavirus restrictions in place.
The government will introduce a bill on Tuesday to push the emergency powers past its 12 month limit.
The state of emergency which was introduced last March is due to end on March 15 but Mr Andrews is hoping to extend it until December 15.
The state of emergency allows the government to enforce rules such as hotel quarantine, laws around masks as well as restrictions on indoor and outdoor gatherings.

The Victorian premier said even with the roll out of the Covid-19 vaccine, strong restrictions would need to remain in place.
'It's very heartening to think that we'll be able to protect people from really significant illness, but the notion that people could still have the virus and pass it on will mean that things like hotel quarantine will for quite some time, be a feature of our COVID normal,' he said.
It comes as Victoria recorded its 27th day with no new locally acquired cases.
Mr Andrews also announced on Tuesday both public and private sector offices would increase to 75 per cent capacity.

This is not about the virus any more - some would argue it never was - it's about money and control.

When the people in power saw how easily the general public complied to random, nonsensical rules, that were created with no scientific reasoning behind them, they immediately began testing the limits of their power.
Sadly, not many people pushed back for fear of being labeled a science denier or a grandma killer. Freedoms given up willingly are almost impossible to take back.________

Its almost like the lockdowns were never about the virus.
But that's just crazy talkSurvival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.
