Prominent Australian lawyers Brett Walker and Michael Wyles are backing a Mornington Peninsula hotelier to challenge the Victorian government’s controversial COVID-19 five-kilometre travel restriction.
Walker, who was part of the Ruby Princess Special Commissions inquiry earlier this year, will team up with Wyles, a vocal critic of the Andrews government’s lockdown measures, to represent Julian Gerner the owner of a bar and restaurant in Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula.
