Premier Daniel Andrews stood his ground after being linked to an IBAC investigation into the United Firefighters Union, but the state opposition says he should resign. springstreet sumeyyailanbey michaelfowler08 Ageinvestigates
Premier Daniel Andrews has insisted he always acted with integrity and declared he would not stand down after it was revealed an anti-corruption probe was investigating his dealings with the firefighters union to broker a long-running industrial dispute.
Although several corruption investigations have probed the Labor government and its MPs, Mr Andrews said his government did not have an integrity problem. Shadow Attorney-General Tim Smith called for Mr Andrews to follow Gladys Berejiklian’s lead after she stepped down as NSW Premier on Friday.“The Premier of Victoria is under investigation by our anti-corruption commission, IBAC. Why hasn’t the Premier stood down? Why hasn’t the Premier tendered his resignation?” Mr Smith said.
