The almost 220,000 that did not respond or had no valid excuse will be made to pay $92 when the notices get sent out this week.In that period, they can either pay the fine, request an internal review, or elect to take the matter to court. Acting Electoral Commissioner Dana Fleming has urged Victorians that receive the notice to take it seriously.Note: these were conducted for information purposes only and have no bearing on the official election results.
Premier Daniel Andrews went on to defeat the then-opposition leader Matthew Guy at the polls to secure his third term in power.There are also four Greens MPs on the crossbench. Mr Andrews has been Premier since December 2014 having led Labor to three consecutive election victories.The bronze tribute will be only the fifth in the state’s history, joining Albert Dunstan, Henry Bolte, Rupert Hamer and John Cain Jr in the honour.If he stays on to contest the 2026 election, he will become the second longest-serving Victorian Premier, after Mr Bolte."I think there's been a story or two in some gossip columns.
