Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is preparing himself to govern for a full four-year term after Saturday night’s decisive election victory, as Liberal leader Matthew Guy stands down.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews will begin work with his “very, very, good friend”, the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, on big reforms after declaring that his progressive agenda had been “convincingly endorsed” by his decisive election victory.

“My discussions with Prime Minister Albanese have been very positive. We need a gas reserve. Our gas is for our businesses and our households,” he said.He said Victoria was “out in front leading our nation” on mental health, domestic violence, early childhood education and on renewable energy and climate change action.

Close to half of Victorian voters did not believe Mr Andrews would serve a full term if he won the election, including four in 10 Labor supporters. But Labor insiders said the premier would be emboldened to go on after asserting his authority over both Labor and the state. The Liberals failed to make any serious inroads in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs or key suburban seats. One senior Liberal MP blamed their “genius” leader Mr Guy, who had “driven the party off a cliff”. the MP described the campaign as the “Titanic”. He urged Mr Guy and shadow treasurer David Davis to leave the parliament.

Mr Pesutto said new MPs Jess Wilson in Kew and Sam Groth in Nepean would be “key” in a new leadership team. Ms Wilson has previously flagged she wants to play a key role in the party’s renewal and generational change. “I hope that the Labor Party, who will form the government, will heed that message, and will have a change in style, a change in attitude, more approachable, focus more on uniting Victorians, not just dividing them.”Other names being touted for the Liberal Party leadership include Brad Battin, who has previously run for leader, and Ryan Smith, while opposition health spokeswoman Georgie Crozier has reportedly ruled herself out.
