It’s been a busy few months on Spring Street. Lockdowns, vaccine delays, leadership tensions in the Coalition and Premier Daniel Andrews out of action following a fall in March.
These unprecedented times have highlighted the importance of delivering accurate and timely information, and forced me and my team to focus on our promise to hold the state’s decision makers to account.
