Commissioner Stephen Leane wrote that while traffic in metropolitan Melbourne dropped between 37 and 44 per cent from March 31, speeding infringements fell 23 per cent. The inquiry probing Victoria's hotel quarantine program has been granted almost two months of additional time to hand down its final report, which will now be delivered just days before Christmas.
In a statement, the inquiry chaired by former judge Jennifer Coate said more time was needed to examine evidence more inquiries may be made. The inquiry made the request for more time on Wednesday and Mr Andrews granted the request today. "As a result of this additional material, the Board has issued several further notices to produce and requests for affidavits. Several documents and affidavits are presently outstanding and may lead to further enquiries."The interim report into Victoria's hotel quarantine system will be delivered on Friday, November 6.
