Former Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos has taken to twitter to pull Premier Daniel Andrews up for not taking responsibility for the state’s failed hotel quarantine scheme.
Ms Mikakos published a statement on the popular social media platform accusing Mr Andrews for ‘political deflection’ following retired judge’s Jennifer Coate findings into what caused the second coronavirus outbreak.

Former Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos has responded to the hotel quarantine report, saying it failed to answer some key questions about the program.
In a statement on Twitter, Ms Mikakos took aim at Premier Daniel Andrews, criticising the inquiry’s decision to redact some of the premier’s phone records.
“I believe Victorians deserve to know the truth about an event that has so profoundly impacted them,” she wrote.
“They do not need another masterclass in political deflection from the Premier.”
Ms Mikakos quit parliament in September over evidence given to the inquiry.
