THE HIGH-RISE LOCKDOWN
Governmentâs arrogance in refusing to apologise
Victorian Ombudsman Deborah Glass has found what any right-minded person should have thought at the time â the lockdown of the high-rise towers, which occurred with only 15 minutesâ notice to tenants, breached their human rights (The Age, 18/12). She did not find there should not have been a lockdown, only that the manner in which it was implemented was against the medical advice and breached human rights. When it occurred, I was appalled, both as a lawyer and an ordinary citizen.
