Victoria’s low case numbers and improved contact tracing capabilities have placed the state in a position to reopen on the same track as New South Wales, says Health Minister Greg Hunt. The state’s 14-day rolling average dropped below seven cases, while the rolling three-day average dropped below three. “That’s what really matters,” Mr Hunt told Sky News. “It gives us a chance to help Victoria return to a predominantly open environment on the same basis as NSW with similar case numbers.

Inquiry into Victoria's hotel quarantine 'doesn't have that desire to uncover truth' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi says the inquiry into Victoria’s hotel quarantine “just doesn’t have that desire to uncover the truth that you would expect a board of inquiry to have.”\n\nHer comments come after the inquiry into Victoria's failed hotel quarantine program held an extraordinary hearing on Tuesday to unravel conflicting evidence.\n\nChief Health Officer Brett Sutton has come under increasing pressure to produce a coherent narrative after he testified before the inquiry saying he had nothing to do with the hotel quarantine scheme and specifically was not aware private security guards were being used until July. \n\nEmails from the department of health indicate he was aware potentially as early as May and is likely to be hauled back before the inquiry to provide further evidence.\n\nMr Sutton has been asked to submit an affidavit as the hotel quarantine inquiry seeks an explanation as to why key emails weren't tendered.\n\nThe inquiry on Tuesday “was something better than what we’ve seen in recent weeks,” Ms Panahi said. \n\n“They’re close to doing their job. \n\n“It just doesn’t have that desire to uncover the truth that you would expect a board of inquiry to have.\n\n“There’s plenty of people who should be called back.\n\n“And when they’re there, they should be questioned forensically and strongly, not just have their statements read back to them and have them agree with it.”\n RitaPanahi RitaPanahi spot on as always.
