Under-siege former minister Leesa Vlahos went to ground on Thursday, refusing to answer questions about her handling of the Oakden crisis or address damning criticism of her evidence to an ICAC inquiry into the now-closed nursing home. Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Bruce Lander QC this week heavily criticised Ms Vlahos, who was formerly responsible for the state-run aged care home, labelling her “sullen, belligerent and aggressive” when giving evidence. A day after Mr Lander ruled the former Mental Health Minister had blamed others for failings and took more credit than she deserved for key decisions, Ms Vlahos called police to evict the media.
