Housing Minister Richard Wynne has angrily defended the snap decision to place about 3000 public housing residents into a hard lockdown in July, in tense public hearings at Victorian Parliament on Friday.
Mr Wynne repeatedly declined to say whether the government had followed the advice of the then deputy Chief Health Officer Annaliese van Diemen in its decision to lock down the towers with no notice to residents.
