Hslfway down this story comes the acknowledgement that the inquiry lawyers clear @VictorianCHO of the cover-up allegation. But ... Health Department lawyers in hotel inquiry firing line https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/health-department-lawyers-in-hotel-inquiry-firing-line-20201202-p56jzj.html

... even this story misses the fact that the @VicGovDHHS submission goes even further "That letter does not state that Sutton directed Minter Ellison not to
produce exhibit 230, but refers to Sutton providing factual information as to
the bearing ...on his earlier evidence"

In other words about the only thing DHHS and the inquiry lawyers agree on is that the accusation against Sutton of cover-up was a misreading of the Minter Ellison letter. This should be more prominently acknowledged by the media who headlined the cover-up accusation.
