The COVID-19 Hotel Quarantine Inquiry board declared phone records that prompted the Victorian government’s former Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) secretary Chris Eccles to resign would be released Friday afternoon.

During the final public hearing on Nov. 27, Assisting Counsel Tony Neal told the inquiry that phone conversations between Eccles and former state Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton would be uploaded onto the official website.
