Former premier Jeff Kennett says he feels “let down” and has blamed alcohol and hubris for alleged inappropriate behaviour against women by Robert Doyle. Mr Kennett, who initially supported the ex-lord mayor, weighed into the issue as real estate agent Kharla Williams became the first woman to publicly identify herself as one of several women who have complained to Victoria Police about Mr Doyle. Ms Williams was allegedly touched inappropriately on the thigh at a Melbourne Health dinner in 2016, and said she went to police because investigations by the City of Melbourne and the Health Department could not be resolved. Mr Doyle has denied any wrongdoing. Mr Kennett said he felt “let down and disappointed”, and “terribly saddened” for the women. A City of Melbourne spokeswoman said the council had always sought to ensure its investigation proceeded as quickly as possible, having regard to the interests of all parties.
