Slow WorkSafe investigation into hotel quarantine failures ‘completely unacceptable’
Self-Employed Australia CEO Ken Phillips says the slow investigation into the failures of hotel quarantine by WorkSafe Victoria is ‘completely unacceptable’.
Mr Phillips wrote to WorkSafe Victoria last September demanding they investigate and launch prosecutions over failings in the state’s hotel quarantine system which led accounted for over 800 deaths in the state's second wave of COVID-19.
Speaking to Sky News host Peta Credlin, Mr Phillips said WorkSafe “say that they started the investigation into the hotel quarantine deaths some three to four months after the event".
“Very simply, to wait that long before they admit they started investigation is really of itself a very, very high concern.
“It raises questions about the operation of WorkSafe, about the integrity of the justice system in Victoria. Everyone should be concerned.
“Remembering the largest mass deaths from one event in Victoria’s history - they should have a massive team working on this."
