The Victorian Chamber of Commerce has criticised the state government’s roadmap out of lockdown, calling it a “roadblock” to prosperity.

This follows an announcement by Premier Daniel Andrews, who said lockdowns would remain in place until 70 percent of Victorians over 16 are fully vaccinated, which is expected to occur by Oct. 26.
