PoliticsVictorian minister breaks with premier and seeks answers over alleged hospital-project wrongdoing

Victorian health infrastructure minister Melissa Horne has publicly diverged from premier Jacinta Allan over allegations linked to the CFMEU. Horne called claims of improper government interference in a hospital project “alarming” and sought assurances from a senior official that no wrongdoing had taken place. Her Facebook statement signals growing divisions inside the government over corruption allegations involving infrastructure projects. The dispute comes less than five months before Victoria’s November state election.
