Outgoing well being officer Brett Sutton has been awarded Victorian of the 12 months regardless of being behind among the “merciless restrictions” positioned on residents in the course of the COVID pandemic, in keeping with Sky Information host Rita Panahi.
“This was a person who was behind Melbourne being essentially the most locked-down metropolis on the planet,” Ms Panahi mentioned.
“Behind playground closures, IVF bans, fishing bans, you understand that is simply logical stuff.
“Outside masks mandates, simply essentially the most illogical idiotic restrictions, generally downright merciless restrictions.
“Nonetheless we had the very best deaths per capita within the nation by some margin all through the height of the pandemic, and he’s awarded for that, he’s awarded for the massive financial, societal, medical prices.”
