BREAKING: Victoria's hotel quarantine inquiry has published the final submissions from key witnesses, including former health minister JennyMikakos. More to come soon from TammyMills1.
Former health minister Jenny Mikakos says Premier Daniel Andrews' evidence about private security in Victoria's hotel quarantine program should be "treated with caution" in a stinging rebuke to the state's inquiry.
"With respect, such a submission has insufficient regard to the realities of governmental operation and decision-making," Ms Mikakos' submission reads."It is respectfully submitted that the Board ought to treat with caution the Premier's evidence where he sought to explain the reference to the use of private security in the hotel quarantine program."
Ms Mikakos said the Premier would not have announced the use of private security if a decision had not already been made. Ms Mikakos said the weight of evidence points to an actual decision being made during the course of, or soon after, the meeting of National Cabinet about midday on March 27.
