A GP has lost his legal battle to stop his practice’s medical records being handed to the police after he was accused of writing fake medical exemptions for anti-vaxxers.

Dr Mark Hobart, a vocal opponent of social lockdowns who has promoted ivermerctin as a treatment for COVID-19, has been championed by activists opposed to vaccine mandates.

Last week, officers from the Victorian Department of Health raided his Melbourne practice, seizing an undisclosed number of his patient records.

Yesterday, he fronted the Supreme Court of Victoria asking for an interim injunction to ban the department from sharing the records with AHPRA, the police and other regulatory bodies.
