Journalist Peta Credlin is putting Andrews ”on the ropes” over the Private Security Contract awarded to manage Lockdown Hotel Security.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has dodged questions from Sky News host Peta Credlin about why Victoria did not use ADF staff for the bungled hotel quarantine program.
Ms Credlin said Victoria, NSW and Queensland were offered ADF support by the Morrison government in March.

But according to evidence from Jenny Mikakos – the state’s former health minister, who recently quit – Professor Sutton was among officials who were sent an email that mentioned the use of private security, more than a month earlier.
The March 27 email said certain points relating to hotel quarantine had been “agreed” at a National Cabinet meeting, including: “enforcement by S&T [state and territory] governments keen for police not to babysit, but called in as needed (e.g. use private security)”Ms Mikakos said in her statement that the email was provided to the inquiry but never tendered, and no witnesses were ever questioned about it….
