FACT CHECK: Did Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews Say, ‘Insisting On Human Rights Is Not Only Selfish, It’s Stupid’?

An Instagram post claims Daniel Andrews , the premier of Australia ’ s Victoria state , once said , “ Insisting on human rights is not only selfish , it ’ s stupid.
” There is no record of Andrews making the statement .
It appears to have originated in a satire article .

An Instagram post claims Daniel Andrews, the premier of Australia’s Victoria state, once said, “Insisting on human rights is not only selfish, it’s stupid.”
Verdict: False
There is no record of Andrews making the statement in the post. It appears be a hyperbolic embellishment from a satire article based on an actual quote Andrews said.
Fact Check:
Andrews, the leader of the Australian state of Victoria’s government, instituted measures meant to help curb the spread of coronavirus effective 11:59 p.m. local time Sept. 13, including issuing a curfew of 9 p.m. and restricting travel to essential purposes, per Victoria’s Health and Human Services website. Some Victorian citizens have protested these restrictions, and Federal Liberal MP Tim Wilson has reportedly asked for an investigation to see if the restrictions violate human rights, according to SBS News.
An image shared on Instagram claims Andrews has openly disparaged those protesting the restrictions, saying, “In fact, you’d be surprised at how much can be avoided if people stop insisting on their personal freedoms. Because insisting on human rights is not only selfish, it’s stupid.” (RELATED: Did Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison Tweet, ‘I’m So Glad We Don’t Have Any Racism Here In Australia’?)

While the Spectator article includes a clear disclaimer that reads, “Drongo alert: what follows is satire,” the Instagram post does not include such a warning, presenting the quote as factual.
The fabricated quote from the satire article appears to be a hyperbolic embellishment of one of the state leader’s actual quotes. During a Sept. 13 press conference, Andrews said, “Protesting is not only selfish, but it’s stupid.”
Andrews’ office did not return a request for comment.
UPDATE: This article has been updated to add the factual quote that the hyperbolic embellishment was based on.

Flynn’s lawyers released the documents in a court filing in his federal criminal case on charges that he lied to the FBI.
The messages show that some FBI employees questioned investigative steps that the bureau took in the investigation. The FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation against him and three other Trump campaign advisers in August 2016 over their possible ties to Russia.
The messages were culled from the FBI’s internal “Lync” messaging platform. The employees are not identified in the document dump, though they appear to have had detailed knowledge of the probe.

“These Stalinist tactics mandate immediate dismissal of this case,” the lawyers said.
The FBI’s Washington Field Office drafted a memo on Jan. 4, 2017 recommending that the counterintelligence investigation of Flynn be closed down. The memo said that the FBI investigated several leads on Flynn’s possible ties to Russia but found no evidence showing that he was working covertly as a Kremlin agent.
Peter Strzok, who was deputy chief of counterintelligence at the time, intervened at the last minute to keep the investigation going, according to documents released in a previous court filing.
The FBI had obtained a transcript of Flynn’s phone calls on Dec. 29, 2016 with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the U.S.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows criticized FBI Director Christopher Wray on Friday morning for comments he recently made regarding the security of mail-in election ballots.
Wray testified Thursday before the Senate Homeland Security Committee. During the hearing, he specifically stated that the FBI has “not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it’s by mail or otherwise.” (RELATED: President Trump Doesn’t Rule Out Replacing FBI Director Wray Over Antifa Comments)
Meadows, discussing the 2020 election during an interview on CBS This Morning, stated that the FBI director “has a hard time finding emails in his own FBI, let alone figuring out whether there’s any kind of voter fraud.”
“This is a very different case. The rules are being changed,” he continued. “So what I’m suggesting is perhaps he can drill down on the investigation that just started. Others that we’re seeing in North Carolina and other places where multiple ballots — duplicate ballots are being sent out — perhaps he needs to get involved on the ground and will change his testimony on Capitol Hill.”
WATCH:
Earlier in the interview, Meadows expanded on the recent report from the Department of Justice detailing how authorities had discovered less than 10 mail-in ballots — voting for President Donald Trump in the 2020 election — discarded in a ditch in Pennsylvania.
