Nelly Yoa, a convicted perjurer who rose to prominence after a series of false public claims, triggers an internal government investigation after he was hired by the agency running hotel quarantine.

The Victorian government has ordered a staffing review after a self-promoting perjurer, who was yesterday convicted of assault, was hired to work in the state's hotel quarantine system.

Government Services Minister Danny Pearson said the man was employed by COVID-19 Quarantine Victoria and did some training, but did not work a shift. "All staff are required to declare at that employment process if they've been charged or convicted of an offence when applying with CQV," he said. "CQV have informed me that a show-cause notice will be provided to this particular individual and the resolution of that matter is underway."According to News Corp, Yoa's lawyer Hazel Whalley told the Ballarat Magistrates' Court Yoa was hired by the Department of Justice to work in hotel quarantine facilities on a 12-month contract in December.

AustralianStory Still contracted to CQV until November? Why & How ?

AustralianStory So much for your privacy if people of this calibre can work for the Gov't. Should not matter if he did or did not disclose his past on the application, as the police check would have picked it up. So was there a police check done or not on this applicant?

Gold standard.

Any vacancies in the Andrews cabinet.

Good to see our checks and balances working well in the Victorian Govt 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Why on earth would they not require a Police check?
