Police stop an investigation into Melbourne gynaecologist Dr Simon Gordon, with multiple reports saying the inquiry ends about seven months after he was referred to police. The allegations concern surgeries carried out on patients treated for severe endometriosis.
Both outlets report that the matter follows a referral made by then-Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, who directed police to consider the concerns in February. The Daily Mail says the concern is that pathology findings from some patients showed little to no evidence of endometriosis despite being treated as having severe disease. ABC Australia similarly describes allegations that Gordon performed unnecessary surgeries.
While the outlets broadly agree on the core premise—unnecessary procedures alleged by patients and referral to police—their emphasis differs. The Daily Mail focuses on pathology results allegedly not supporting the diagnosis, whereas ABC Australia highlights the investigation’s closure and the referral timing, describing Gordon as a former gynaecologist. No outlet’s report provides additional legal outcomes beyond the decision to end the investigation.
