One of Australia’s longest-serving premiers is calling it quits less than a year after winning a third term.
Daniel Andrews will step down as Victorian premier after nine years in power, announcing he will resign from the job and as member for Mulgrave on Tuesday.
Andrews assumed office in December 2014 and led the Victorian Labor Party to a third term of government at last year’s November state election. Andrews said being premier was a defining feature of his life. He said he would visit the governor today and his term in office will end at 5pm tomorrow.“I am worse than a workaholic. Every waking moment is about the work. And there’s only so long you can do that.”The outgoing premier thanked his wife Cath and his three kids for their support over his time in politics.Andrews said he knew as got to the final stage of the housing statement that it would perhaps be the last big reform that he did.
