Andrews and his ministers ‘should be facing justice’ over charges against Vic health department

Premier Daniel Andrews and his ministers are the ones who should be “facing justice” over the charges laid by WorkSafe against the Victorian Department of Health, according to Opposition Leader Matthew Guy.

The Victorian health department has been charged with 58 breaches of the Occupational Health and Safety Act over the Andrews government's hotel quarantine program.

Each of the charges carries a fine of up to $1.6 million.

Mr Guy told Sky News host Peta Credlin the situation is a "complete farce".

"What we have is a government statutory authority charging a government department for ministers' decisions," he said.

"The taxpayer will pay the fine."

The Victorian Opposition Leader said "the buck stops" with Premier Andrews and his ministers.

"They are the people who should be facing justice, not the Department of Health," Mr Guy said.

"There is no accountability left in the state of Victoria.

"The Premier should have resigned a long time ago; his ministers, a number of involved, should have resigned a long time ago."
