"Under law, unlike a court, there is no general restriction or prohibition, which would prevent a person from commenting publicly or answering questions to which they know the answers on matters which are the subject of examination by this board of inquiry."The inquiry has received 106,000 pages of documents from government departments and private entities so far, Justice Coate said.
An 11th-hour sitting of the inquiry began at 2pm on Wednesday, where Justice Coate said it was impossible to make sufficient new arrangements to conduct hearings remotely by 10am on Thursday. "I am acutely aware, as are those assisting me, of the community's need to understand what has happened in the hotel quarantine program and the ramifications of it for all of us."Three epidemiologists and genomic sequencing experts – the inquiry's first witnesses – were due to give evidence on Thursday.
"Comments made by the Chief Health Officer to the media have suggested that it may even be that every case of COVID-19 in Victoria in recent weeks could be sourced to the hotel quarantine program," Mr Neal said on July 20.
Dickhead Dan and his useless team of cretins will be thinking how to dodge this one. No doubt they'll come up with some bullshit excuse as to why they can't answer. They're responsible for killing far more than just the oldies now. Lockdown should not be tolerated
Nothing preventing Fed Parliament from sitting via Zoom, Skype etc.
There is,guilt and embarrassment 😹😹😹😂😂😂
I am just disappointed by the government

Time for Dan and friends to open their golden mouths.
So much corruption unbelievable
Quarantine issues led to every case of corona? What about those who wandered around city and were at work after being told they had the virus. Surely they would have passed on the infection to many. Look at overseas - the virus spreads for a variety of reasons - big numbers.
Except for the small problem that they’re hiding behind the inquiry....
Other than they are trying to manage the pandemic in real time. Truly, this is as good as it gets? COVID19Vic
Focusing on that is a distraction we can do without. It’ll undermine the effort to get this contagion under control & give the RW political rabble oxygen to a trial by media. I’m happy to let it take it’s due course & of course every1 asked, must front the inquiry & answer Q’s.
But still watch run and hide
She should be DEMANDING their answers...

Victoria's hotel quarantine inquiry delayed by stage four lockdownThe inquiry into Victoria's bungled hotel quarantine program that could have led to 'every case' of coronavirus in the state's second wave has been delayed and will not release its findings until November We expect Dan to play politics but for a judge to do so is beyond disgusting. She ever here of video meetings? No wonder Dan handpicked her Now we know why Dan handpicked her. A disgrace. There is no such thing as a second wave, and in Aus. our minor ripple over all = 1 week of flu spread over 6 months, do you have no sense of proportion.

Leaked emails show Victoria's hotel quarantine system was stretched, cobbled togetherWas it the Department of Jobs who had hastily engaged the security guards for hotel quarantine? Or was it the monolithic DHHS? Victoria looks for answers to an inquiry starting on Thursday. Karens slept with guards, hold them accountable too! Well, seeing as it was such a fuckup, no one wants to admit it was their mess!!! Money and profit is what is at the heart of this debacle. Security companies undercutting each other to gain contracts and not having the required staff to fulfil the contracts. In fact, it sounds a lot like the aged care industry. Government subsidies and not enough staff.

Palaszczuk to ban diplomatic exemptions from hotel quarantine in QueenslandThe Queensland Premier is moving to stop overseas consular staff skipping quarantine when they return to Queensland, after a Federal Government contractor tested positive for COVID-19. Good. Now make it for EVERYONE. No exemptions! Shouldn't these loopholes been thought about and closed by now? Reactive as usual. She should implement a 1km rule.
