Health Minister watches television while Victoria goes through a medical emergency

Shadow Minister for Health, Mary Wooldridge

Today in Question Time it was revealed that during the evening of Monday 21 November while Victoria was going through the Thunderstorm Asthma attack, Jill Hennessy was watching television.

In a series of posts on her Twitter account on that evening, Jill Hennessy seemed more absorbed about television programs rather than being fully across the scale of the medical emergency.

It is becoming more and more apparent that Jill Hennessy was not on top of this emergency at the critical time.

With the Minister being evasive on the key timings, as well as decisions and communications she and her Department made on the night, the review looking into this issue needs full public disclosure.
