A CT scan has revealed several broken ribs and vertebrae damage, and subsequent medical advice has recommended I remain in intensive care for the next few days.

I hope to be able to provide another update later this week. James Merlino will serve as Acting Premier while I recover over the next few days. For now, we’d like to ask that our family’s privacy is respected.on Tuesday morning.

Oh no, he's had enough difficult days. Get well fast and soon.

Stay home, stay safe!! loser

He's in trouble.

Karma!

Breaking alright and bruised - ribs, vertebrae, dignity, ego etc

Probably rushing to get to the appointment/announcement he was scheduled to do. Very unfortunate. Hope no ongoing problems. Acting Prem. - some advice! Don’t quarantine overseas travellers till all hotel & health workers have Covid jab! PM Hunt too slow with roll out!

Karma

Several broken ribs for Dan seems not sufficient retribution.

Can the whereabouts of the ‘holiday home’ be verified?

Wish you get well soon DanielAndrewsMP

.... he will not go for reelection. This will be the excuse.

I wish him the same medical care Victorians received in 2020.

OzraeliAvi Karma is real lol

Karma for a draconian leader.

Karmas a bitch

That’s a bit bigger than ‘a tumble’ which I read somewhere today. Get better soon Dan

Dan must have been on the beers

I say put him on a ventilator and see how he likes it! God works in mysterious way.

Tough way to take a break, best wishes come back when fully recovered

Hilarious! With any luck the cunt dies

Couldn’t happen to O’Brien - no spine.

Lol

Give him extra morphine. Let him pass away peacefully 😆

Would much prefer to see him fall off his perch figuratively. Not like this.

So many of these comments are vile. Sure you may not like how the man or his decisions, but you should never wish Ill of someone else. The man has a family! Have some compassion!

Very sorry to hear of your accident. No joke to have ribs and vertebrae. Get well soon - take it easy!

His wallet full of Chinese cash toppled him over

Get well soon Premier Dan!

A friend of mine died in similar circumstances, so I’m glad to know that DanielAndrewsMP didn’t suffer life-threatening injuries. Wishing him a speedy recovery & strength to his family.

For the first time in months he’s involved in an actual emergency.

Get well soon Premier

Who pushed him

Wishing premier Andrews a speedy recovery GetBetterDan

Sounds like he is trying to avoid some kind of assault allegation. I mean going to hospital is what LNP pollies do when they dont want to face up.

Broken ribs and he's in ICU, what a pussy he must be, I bet Victorian taxpayers are still paying his weekly wage as there'd be no way in hell he'd be on unpaid sick leave like anyone else would have to be.

This is so so poor tweets. Have you ever imagined being in his shoes for what he has done for Victorians. Get a life all of you. Yeah great kick a man when he is down bravo. Shame

oh shit

What a shame he didn't break his f-ing neck, Karma's a bitch for all he's put Victorians through he's getting some payback finally

Couldn't have chosen a nicer photo after that thoughtless juvenile tweet by your health reporting editor this morning MurdochGutterMedia

Oh Someone pushed him. Maybe the devil did it ha ha, he must have had enough of Dan.

FFS Andrews, what a pathetic selfish act, taking up the space of an intensive care bed for a couple of broken ribs when the only cure is rest, time and pain killers. An intensive bed that could have been occupied by more needy elderly Victorian patient, GRUB

The vicgov Belt and Road Submission was due to the Feds tomorrow, timing eh? covid19vic COVID19Aus

Please...did he fill out an organ donor card....?

Wish him the best . Horrible injury .

Intensive care for several broken ribs and vertebrae damage, are you joking Andrews, you are taking up an intensive care bed over and above what real intensive care patients need.

I guess those rumours about Karma hanging out at the top of wet stairs were true.

Ohhhh Nooooo it couldn’t have happened to a nicest bloke

Get well soon Dan.

He will be ok as he regarded as a higher citizen than most so more focus will be on him than someone who worse off.

Threw himself under the Karma Bus did he ?

Wish him a quick recovery, such hard many months he has had

Speedy recovery ,hope this is a fall and he's not been attacked by the right wingers

Tripped over your ego did you Dan?

Poor dude. Works so hard

Best of wishes to the Premier . I hope he will be home recovering ASAP. Good luck Daniel.

The age said Nasty fall to Andrews, ok let people think about it!

Speedy recovery DanielAndrewsMP

I’m sending my best wishes and prayers to the Premier in his injury. Get well soon PremierAndrews.

Covid related

Wishing you speedy recovery Dan. Prayers 🙏

🎉🎊🎈

Sounds a bit serious...are they investigating a TIA perhaps?

Gosh, hope he is ok. Get well DanielAndrewsMP Thoughts with CathLAndrews and his kids
