The Covid-19 Hotel Quarantine Inquiry wrapped up this week with counsel assisting submitting that the Government's failures were responsible for 768 deaths and the entire second wave in Victoria. Ken Phillips from Self Employed Australia has triggered a prosecution request by writing to the OHS authority - WorkSafe - under section 130 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic).
They are now required by law to take action or detail reasons why they failed to take action, by late December 2020.
Ken asked me to conduct this interview so the true and balanced story could get out. It's a doozy.
