Andrews under pressure to resign over hotel coronavirus bungle

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is under pressure to resign, after the hotel quarantine inquiry found no-one was to blame for the decision to hire private security guards.

Mr Andrews has insisted he is not going anywhere and will be on the ballot in 2022.

The pressure has piled on Mr Andrews after the final report from the hotel quarantine inquiry was made public yesterday.

Mr Andrews' former health minister Jenny Mikakos, who resigned in September after the Premier blamed her for the debacle, has slammed her former boss and the report.

She said key questions remain unanswered - namely, who made the decision to use private security guards instead of the Australian Defence Force.

"I believe Victorians deserve to know the truth about an event that has so profoundly impacted them," she wrote.

"They do not need another masterclass in political deflection from the Premier."

The Premier admitted mistakes were made and he has issued an apology.

"I am sorry. We are sorry. Our commitment and my commitment as the leader of the government is to learn those lessons," Mr Andrews said.

The premier said in hindsight he would do things differently, but was still unable to say who made the decision to use private security in the hotel quarantine program, which ultimately caused the state's second wave of coronavirus.

The report found the final call to use private guards was made at a 4.30pm meeting of the state control centre.

Ms Mikakos said a series of Mr Andrews phone call transcripts could shed further light on the matter.

She called on the inquiry to release Mr Andrews' phone records from March 27, the day the system was set up.
