Mr Sutton was labelled a 'scumbag' and a 'f**king rat dog' by the furious protesters on Tuesday as he left the building with two police officers by his side. Vision shared on encrypted messaging app Telegram showed one officer pull a woman away who confronted the state's top doctor at the bottom of the steps. The insults were joined by a chorus of boos as hundreds rallied in Melbourne against Covid vaccine mandates and new legislation which would give Premier Daniel Andrews unparalleled new powers to declare a pandemic. The laws - which are set to pass through the upper house this month - would give the Victorian premier the power to make 'any order' he deems 'reasonably necessary' to stop the spread of a disease. Victorian Shadow Treasurer David Davis addressed the protesters on Tuesday evening, telling them the state leader had become 'too powerful'. He had been billed as a headline speaker by protesters organising the rally on Telegram. Mr Davis also hit at the state government for refusing to release confidential health briefings used to justify sending Victoria into lockdown in February. Mr Andrews has refused to release the documents to the state opposition under Freedom of Information laws. 'What on earth do they have to hide?' Mr Davis told the gathered protesters.
