Had lunch with a business associate of Lindsay Fox. Not sure how much of his account I can relate... suffice to say it involves Mr. Fox, incoming Carlton CEO Luke Sayers, and Dan getting tipsy and amorous.
Here it is, the debunking of all this bullsh1t.
Unfounded claims about the Victorian premier’s hospitalisation were first aired by an obscure blog which pushes conspiracy theories

Since then, conspiracy rumours have centred on trucking magnate Lindsay Fox and a former PricewaterhouseCoopers executive, Luke Sayers. Different iterations of the theories have centred on the false beliefs Andrews was with Fox at the time of the accident or that he was involved in an altercation with Sayers.
Andrews is a friend of Lindsay Fox’s son, Andrew Fox, and some of the early posts on Telegram linked to a February article in the Age which
examined the links between the premier and the family. The relationship was also subject to questioning by Staley in the Victorian parliament earlier this year.
The rumours that Andrews was with Fox at the time of the accident, though, have been roundly discredited. This week the Age reported Fox was considering legal action over the rumours – which he flatly denies – while the Australian Financial Review reported that Sayers was
at an entirely different location having dinner with his wife on the night in question.
Staley’s questions also prompted Victoria Ambulance to release a statement this week confirming the timeline Andrews had previously given for the accident. The state’s police commissioner, Shane Patton, also confirmed police did not attend the home where Andrews fell, or interview him.
Outside of Telegram, however, the unfounded claims that Andrews’ fall was the subject of a cover-up were first aired by an obscure Queensland blog which also pushes Port Arthur massacre conspiracies, QAnon theories and baseless claims that Covid-19 is a “psyop”.
