Victoria’s State Election: The Backstory Of Dan Andrews

Victorians will head to the polls this weekend, to decide whether to re-elect Daniel Andrews.

If Andrews is re-elected in November 2022, he will be one of the longest-serving premiers in the state’s history, being one of five leaders to serve more than 3,000 days in office.

In a revealing interview, Listnr’s The Briefing looks at the events that shaped the man who has become one of Australia’s most powerful and divisive premiers.

Speaking to Sumeyya Ilanbey from The Age, who has written a biography of Andrews, The Briefing’s Tom Tilley and Rhianna Patrick unpack how the man from a working class family in suburban Victoria, became one of the most prolific premiers in Australia.
