Daniel Andrews says Jenny Mikakos' resignation is 'the right choice'

Breaking news and live updates: Victorian premier says health minister Jenny Mikakos' resignation 'appropriate'; No community transmission in NSW for 24 hours; Victoria records 12 new cases and one death"She sent me a text…I did not speak to her. I have not spoken with her since."Mr Andrews wouldn't elaborate what was in the text message, but said it was simply to inform him a letter had been sent to confirm her resignation.

He was asked why it was appropriate for Ms Mikakos to step aside now, before the findings of the hotel inquiry are released.Mr Andrews said he will wait until those findings are released before he determines the next course of action, and was adamant he would not be standing down."I have a very important job to do and that is to get those case numbers down. I don't run from challenges…and I am going to get it done.

No he just threw her under a Pioneer bus instead

Dan has stated good leadership isnt based on popular decisions but hard decisions,if he thought that his Health Minister was doing such a bad job,he should have sacked her. The reason he didn't was that he didnt want to upset his socialist left.

DanielAndrewsMP I’ll tell you one thing Dan, if you and I were standing on the side of the road and a bus headed our way, I would move quickly as I wouldn’t want to be thrown under it by yourself. Very disappointing behaviour & your powers that be.I once had faith - no more 😏

She should have resigned before the second wave disaster as she bears 80% weight of management of the crisis and 20%should go to Dan

Why would he after he threw her under the bus. What a weak man.

The resignation plan has been in place for weeks and her late night tweets gave it all away. Just reading between the lines.

DanLiedPeopleDied RESIGN DAN!

DanielAndrewsMP once in your life do as you tell us you do by taking responsibility and just once tell the truth. Try it, it will be a new experience for you and may set you free or has your deceit become so part of you, you no longer can differentiate been truth & deceit.

Jenny got the DCM don’t come Monday

Hes got no credibility, no one believes what he says. Let's hope a mass exodus occurs and this pathetic example of a premier disappears into the ethos

Yes we can believe anything that comes from his mouth (not)

Liar
