The Victorian Liberal opposition have attacked the premier, Daniel Andrews, for pocketing his salary while he remains on leave.
In a new statement, and fairly significant escalation of the opposition’s rhetoric on this issue, the shadow treasurer, Louise Staley, says:
Enough is enough, Daniel Andrews can’t continue to get paid for a job he’s not doing. He should only be getting the basic MP’s pay while he’s off work.
Victorians need honesty and transparency from Daniel Andrews about the circumstances of his injury. Everyone is entitled to privacy about their health, but these questions are not about the nature of his injuries, only how he got those injuries.
On the tools again. Practice makes perfect ♂️ I love this one. Getting better every day. pic.twitter.com/ciNGuHmB5C
And on a personal note, I’m sorry I can’t be there with everyone but I’m so grateful to @JamesMerlinoMP for his leadership. I have more scans and a meeting with my medical team next week. I’ll let you know how that goes and exactly when I’ll be back on deck later this month.

Some advice from Rex Patrick.
First of two AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccinations done ✅. Tip: If you’re planning to have a photo taken of yourself getting the jab, I recommend wearing a t-shirt #auspol pic.twitter.com/3CWCXQ9cpQ
