Police are assessing photos of Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and fellow coalition MPs inside state parliament without masks, in a potential breach of COVID-19 restrictions.
In photographs posted to social media, Mr Guy and his MPs were snapped with Essendon legend Kevin Sheedy not wearing masks inside parliament on Tuesday, the first sitting day of the year.
The AFL premiership-winning coach gave a party room motivational speech ahead of the 2022 state election.
Those in the photos include Mr Guy, upper house Liberal leader David Davis and Nationals MP Melina Bath.
"Victoria Police is currently assessing images circulating on social media of MPs without a mask on in parliament on 8 February," the force said in a statement.
Wearing a mask is required in all Victorian workplaces, including state parliament unless rising to speak in either chamber or eating or drinking.
A work health and safety memo sent on Tuesday reminded MPs and staff of "the continuing requirement for masks to be worn in the workplace".
Premier Daniel Andrews was fined $400 in October last year after he was filmed arriving at parliament not wearing a mask on two occasions.
He wore a mask on both days as he was driven to parliament but took it off before he walked through the car park to awaiting media.
At the time, Melburnians aged over 12 needed to wear a fitted face mask whenever they left their home, indoors or outdoors, unless a lawful exception applies, such as for broadcasting purposes.
The opposition has been contacted for comment.
