The Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews has announced he is resigning.
Andrews’ brutal record-breaking COVID lockdowns, anti-medical freedom measures, and alleged links to the Chinese Communist Party earned him the moniker ‘Dictator Dan’.
News.com.au described the decision as ‘sensational’.
Andrews told media at a snap press conference this afternoon that ‘it was time’ to hand over the state’s top job to someone else.
‘To have been premier for nine years and the leader of my party for 13 years is a greater set of opportunities that I ever thought be afforded to me,’ Andrews told media.
‘I came from the country with only really an aspiration to do good, to work hard and to work with teams of people that perhaps make things better.
‘Can I say to you that the moment you are not comfortable with that choice, doing this job as a defining feature of your entire life pretty much, the moment you are not comfortable with that decision for you and the people that you love, that’s when you have to step away.
‘Because you never want to get to a place where you resent this job, this amazing privilege and important opportunity.
‘That would not be right and I simply will not allow that to happen. As you well know public life is about subjecting yourself to the judgement of others.
‘It will be for others to judge my time in parliament and my years of leadership.’
Leading this state has been the greatest of gifts, every single day.
Thank you, Victoria. pic.twitter.com/58BoxxrrBr

There was immediate reaction on social media from Andrews’ opponents. Federal Senator Babet called for Andrews to face a Royal Commission over his role in the COVID response measures.
He must not vanish into the private sector without first answering to a Royal Commission for the actions taken during the pandemic. pic.twitter.com/WxE48BJEtC

Andrews has been state Premier since 2014.
Andrews will meet with Victorian Governor Margaret Gardner tomorrow afternoon, where he will formally tender his resignation. The Victorian Labor Party caucus is likely to appoint a successor by Wednesday afternoon.
Good riddance to the scumbag,next the labour partie in NZ.
you can run but you can’t hide you evil dweeb, just like the rest who think they can resign and won’t be held accountable because you will, every single one of you, disgusting excuses for human’s
Was he a tyrant the whole 9 years while a premier or did covid provide him with the opportunity to show his true colours.
The fact he got away with what he did raises some troubling questions, he is one person, where were all the other people around him who failed to speak up?, obviously all spineless nobody’s worried about their highly paid salaries.
You could say the same for tyrants in New Zealand and Canada etc. Doesn’t look good for the future does it?, they live among us.
W**ker!
Now they need to get rid of the PM’s in both Oz & Aotearoa…!
Keep watch at the polls, as they will cheat in both nations just like the Zio-Globalists did in the U.S.!
