Election triumph for Daniel Andrews
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has won a 3rd term after Saturday’s state election. He will become Labor’s longest-serving Victorian premier, having already served 8 years. The final votes are still being counted, but Labor has a comfortable majority, securing at least 52 seats, well above the 45 it needed. With 7 seats still in doubt, the Liberal-National Coalition is in second place with 25 seats, while the Greens have secured 4 so far. Andrews says the result confirms Victoria’s reputation as “the most progressive state” in Australia. Coalition leader Matthew Guy says he will stand down as Opposition leader after leading his party to defeat for the 2nd time but will stay on until a new leadership team is elected. Andrews has vowed to work hard for all Victorians, including those who didn’t vote for Labor, saying, “We will govern for you. We will govern for your kids, for your health, for your education, your future.” #SquizShortcuts
