Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan faced hostile protests during a visit to Alexandra Hospital in the state's bushfire zone. Approximately 40 angry locals gathered to confront her about internet outages, blocked emergency fodder supplies, and ageing CFA trucks breaking down on fire grounds. The Premier was escorted out through a back door after being inside for 45 minutes, while Treasurer Jacinta Symes' car was surrounded by protesters before police intervention.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
