Ex-Health Minister Accuses Victorian Premier of ‘Political Deflection’ Amid Calls for His Resignation
Victoria’s former health minister Jenny Mikakos has accused her old boss Labor Premier Daniel Andrews of “political deflection” and said the hotel quarantine inquiry failed to answer key questions.
“I believe Victorians deserve to know the truth about an event that has so profoundly impacted them,” Mikakos said in a statement on Monday night. “They do not need another masterclass in political deflection from the premier.”
Mikakos released her statement hours after the inquiry released its final report into the scandal that led to her resignation.
