Finally the teflon wore off Dictator Dan Andrews:

Dan Andrews has announced he is quitting, after nearly nine years as premier and three election wins.

Andrews’ surprise announcement came early Tuesday afternoon. He said his resignation would take effect at 5pm Wednesday.

He told a news conference it was not an easy decision “because as much as we have achieved together, there’s so much more to do. But when it’s time, it’s time”.

I’m sure the multiple corruption scandals, hotel quarantine failures, the world’s longest Covid lockdowns, infrastructure rorting and waste, and Victoria’s budget sinking deep into the red might have had something to do with it.

Good riddance. Bring on the next flog.
