The Victorian premier says the state's consumer watchdog is constantly" pursuing cancer conwoman Belle Gibson and won't let up" until she pays the fine she was ordered to pay more than seven years ago.

Gibson, who is the now the subject of a new Netflix series, Apple Cider Vinegar, was in 2017 ordered by the federal court to pay a $410,000 fine plus $30,000 in legal costs for misleading and deceptive conduct, after she falsely claimed to have been diagnosed with brain cancer and cured through alternative therapies and nutrition.
