‘I’ve cracked the code…’ the post proudly read on Twitter, before explaining what he believes the difference between the suit and jacket meant.
Another person commented: ‘So that means if he wears a tie we are stuffed.’
Others have stepped in to defend Mr Andrews and shoot down the conspiracy.
‘The North Face comes out on weekends,’ one person said.
Another one added: ‘I think we have bigger issues than the fashion rotations of the Premier.’
One person chose to make light of the situation with a tongue-in-cheek response.
‘If he turns up in his pyjamas… I think it means we are LOCKED DOWN for real… as in this is NOT a drill.’
Other conspiracy theorists claim the time of day is an indication of the type of news Mr Andrews will deliver to the public.
When the second wave was beginning in Victoria, Mr Andrews moved his daily media updates to the afternoon instead of the regular 11am timeslot.
‘We’ve been trying to crack the code at work for a few weeks,’ one person commented.
‘Before lunch … Bad ish news. After lunch s*** gets serious and we fear the worst. Now this ads [sic] another layer to it.’
Another one added: ‘Any presser after 2pm. Ain’t good news.’
