Victorian election result a triumph for Dan Andrews and a nightmare for the Liberal Party
ABCQuiet Victorians spoke on Saturday night to deliver Dan Andrews another term as Victorian premier. Former prime minister Scott Morrison might have won the so-called unwinnable 2019 election on the back of what he called the quiet Australians, but it was understated Victorians that delivered Labor a historic third term. While the Andrews government has received a substantial swing against it — especially in its western suburbs heartland — the Liberal Party failed to capitalise on it at a time where the dominant media narrative was that Labor was finished. Warning shot ignored The Liberal Party was given a warning shot from Victorians in the May federal election, but the party still believed that anti-lockdown sentiment could be cultivated to smash the Andrews government. Former state Liberal president Michael Kroger declared that the Victorian Liberal Party does not know what it stands for — and hasn’t done since former premier Jeff Kennett left parliament after the 1999 election.
