Yesterday Daniel Andrews announced his resignation as the Victorian premier. This was a snap declaration, made in a press conference outside the Victorian state parliament, and was organised only 40 minutes beforehand. First, we speak to state political editor Annika Smethurst about why he’s resigned, why now and what it means for Victoria. Then we’ll air an episode from late last year, just ahead of the Victorian state election. In that episode, state political reporter Rachel Eddie interviewed her colleague, journalist Sumeyya Ilanbey, author of a revealing biography of Daniel Andrews. It explored how he became the most divisive premier in the country. Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
