Ms Mikakos resigned from her role on Saturday after being thrown under the bus by Premier Daniel Andrews over the hotel quarantine scandal.
In a scathing resignation letter she said she took responsibility for the conduct of her department during thepandemic but took a swipe at Mr Andrews, saying she “strongly disagreed” with some of his comments to the hotel quarantine inquiry. The brutal manner in which her political career ended is said to have driven a wedge in the Victorian Labor Party, with some on the left saying Mr Andrews’ treatment of Ms Mikakos was a “disgrace”.
In the days since, it’s understood she has received a number of serious threats and her home address has been distributed.Former Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos appears before the hotel quarantine inquiry on Thursday, September 23 2020.

Oh the irony coming from
Not thrown under a bus. Full-of-shit-meter fully in the red. MurdochRoyalCommission
Politics is a filthy business.
Who leaked it and who publicised it?
Maybe she wouldn't have been harassed by the press if you'd left her alone.
Far out. You actually start a story about the MEDIA leaking Jenny Mikados’ address with Dan threw her under the bus! Pravda would be proud.
Not acceptable for any personal addresses to be leaked , my guess was definitely Journalist who leaked the address . Hopefully Police investigate and hold person accountable.
Despite her failure as a minister she has every right to her privacy and the leaking of her home address is a very low and classless act by those involved!
Ok as long as her haters live more than 5 KMs away.

Leaked? disclosed is the word you are looking for
