The timing of the decision to end Melbourne’s curfew is absolutely cynical, according to state opposition leader Michael O'Brien.

The curfew ended at 5 a.m. on Sept. 28, the same day that Mornington Peninsula cafe owner and aspiring Liberal MP Michelle Loielo is challenging the curfew in the Supreme Court.
