Ibac Victoria: ‘I behaved appropriately’, premier Dan Andrews says after Donnellan's resignation

Victorian premier Daniel Andrews comments on the resignation of one of his ministers, Luke Donnellan, amid anti-corruption commission hearings (Ibac) into allegations of branch stacking. Andrews says he ‘didn’t expect to get a phone call’ from Donnellan tendering his resignation but ‘thanked him for his service’. Andrews was asked about what he knew of the allegations: ‘I behaved appropriately', he says. 'It’s my practice to follow the party’s rules and where necessary … re-write those rules if they are not adequate’. Federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese was also asked about the hearings and says he has taken swift actions in the past to rid the Labor party of corruption
