Pandemic bill
The Victorian government's controversial pandemic laws have officially passed through the state's parliament.
The laws, which will replace the state of emergency powers due to expire on December 15, passed the Upper House on Thursday afternoon, 20 votes to 18, with the support of four crossbenchers.
It then returned to the Lower House for final approval.
The legislation will give the Premier and Health Minister the power to declare pandemics.
The bill sparked widespread protests, some using violent imagery directed at politicians including Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews.
