, day two of the state election campaign, Meuleman secured an $80,000 compensation payout from the Transport Accident Commission, paid after he turned 18, but the family was concerned about the process.Justin McManushas confirmed that Meuleman, now 24, has engaged lawyer George Defteros, but Defteros said it was still “early days”.

Meuleman told News Corp he was unable to speak to officers who visited his house after he was discharged from the Royal Children’s Hospital.AdvertisementRyan told the publication he never gave a police statement to detail his version of events and felt he was “used as a pawn”.“He was absolutely T-boned the car he hit it at such force. It was literally inside the car. That’s how much the windscreen was depressed,” he told reporters at the time.

This failure – and a subsequent refusal by Victoria Police to release crash documents requested by media under freedom-of-information laws – prompted the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission to review police handling of the incident.

Daniel Andrews grilled from all sides ahead of state electionVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews has faced a media barrage today after being grilled on the anti-corruption watchdog's probes into his government and over a 2013 car crash that left a teen severely injured. On Friday, Mr Andrews dismissed questions surrounding the amount of IBAC probes into his state Labor government, saying, the work of the anti-corruption watchdog 'is a matter for them'. Mr Andrews also said his government holds regular dialogue with all of the state's integrity agencies. 'That's principally conducted between the attorney-general as the first law officer and those agencies – and that's why the budget for these agencies has increased enormously,' he said during a media conference in Melbourne. Presumable Sky News Australia has a subscription to the Herald-Sun? 'The detail of the incident suggests it was actually Meuleman who was in the wrong — the Herald Sun included a map that indicated Catherine Andrews took a right turn in her Ford Territory' Why did ndrews family make no contact with hospital to inquire how the injured boy was - probably had a hangover Lol drips not happy when Chairman is asked questions on integrity and corruption, if he was liberal they'd be upset not enough questions were asked lol tolerant left
