Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews responds to media reports about an anti-corruption probe, saying he acts appropriately at all times and will not comment on IBAC matters before they are public 'regardless of any smear, innuendo or media reporting'.

abc.net.au/news/ibac-probe-daniel-andrews-reports-injunction/101619592Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has responded to reports suggesting he is the focus of an anti-corruption probe, saying he acts appropriately at all times and would not comment on IBAC matters before they were public "regardless of any smear, innuendo or media reporting".

Mr Andrews released a statement on Saturday morning saying questions about what IBAC was or was not doing were "a matter for the independent agency". The corruption watchdog stated it would be "quite unfair" to these persons if preliminary findings or other private information were to become public."No public interest is served in preliminary findings being published."

He said the state's integrity agencies were always in "dialogue" with his government and had an "open door" policy with the attorney-general. He said the newspaper should be able to publish its own reporting based on information obtained separately to the draft report."The Age has said that they obtained information about the same topic or the same subject of the corruption allegations that IBAC is investigating, but they obtained that information separately from the report," Professor Greste said.

To himself

Criminal

I did not have sexual relations with that woman, and I am not a crook 1. Bill Clinton 2. Richard Nixon 3. Daniel Andrews He's now joined the club. Haha

You are NOT an appropriate human.

With all the new science and truth coming out. I wonder if he regrets locking everyone down

They are after him . The little minded conservatives who feared African gangs and fear politics less corrupt than theirs . They got nuthin and their problem …..and fault .

And when i don't! LOL

I don't think anyone's saying your acting inappropriately Premier! I think the voters would like to really know 'WHO IS' really running the state of Victoria?

Biggest lie ever. Complete abuse of power

🤡

Labor shills: Let the IBAC investigate Dan Andrews before we make judgements. Labor shills: ICAC investigates Gladys, so she must resign. Also Labor shills: Politicans should be held accountable and NACC in federal government is so important. Do you see the hypocrisy here?

Where are the left and their calls for transparency, etc? Imagine if NSW's version of IBAC sought an injunction against reporting about a secret probe into the awarding of contracts on the eve of the last election.

I hate his face and logic

Freedom of speech Greed took over America agin Election Tuesday who am I going to vote for? After hearing this story? Mr Kevin Lee Dixie ❤️

Freedom of speech Mr Kevin Lee Dixie 60 or more Kevin dixie on Facebook? Started using the internet at a late age? My story everybody rid me off and abuse my name ? The reason I can't figure out? Then on making any incidents report s ( ID Theft report) ?

🤥

Freedom of speech America any city any township and any today to ( use ) the freedom of speech to the fullest No-mail service? White-collar crimesCorruption everywhere. ? Mr Kevin Lee Dixie ( fort wayne Indiana) Indiana I wouldn't recommend..

Wonder what happened with his “fall” really?

Didn’t IBAC say the Victorian ALP and it’s leadership including Dan acted unethically for decades?

Victorian Liberals new improved ambulance service requires victims to provide credit card details prior to treatment......one victim states they were left bleeding in the gutter due to declined transaction.

It only took 9 years for the ABC to work out Danial Andrews has been investigated for corruption.

Sack dan he ruined Victoria

He DanielAndrewsMP is a true leader!! IStandWithDan

😂😂😂 This prick is truly reprehensible. People who vote for him are happy to live with corruption and outright evil in government.

A truly evil character.

The ABC noticed what real journalism is theage. Now imagine if you were a Conservative. Dear oh dear...

really nice to know........get on your bike

He's as bent as a 9 dollar note. Disgusting man

Who sends the riot police to beat up people protesting his policies? Which other PM has his police go and arrest pregnant women for liking a tweet about a protest against his policies? For things that makes me ashamed to be Australian, he ranks up there with the Cronulla riots.

ResignDanAndrews

Even when he views a home in Brighton that he likes and then announces a hard lockdown the next day? Anyway.. this ain't my rumour.. loud mouthed agents were gabbing on the grapevine at the time.

Self assessment is notoriously unreliable.

He’s a liar and he tried to destroy people.

Self praise is no recommendation.

I act appropriately at all times based on the $$$$$ I receive.

Like this time when you were caught without wearing a mask, all while your attack dogs on your police force were brutalising others for the same. Oh, but it was just the once, riiiiiight.!!! 😉

😂 😂 😂

It's hard to imagine how anyone can support this cretin. He is truly evil!

Anti-corruption 'Probe' Aren't there at least four of them

When do your hordes of political journalists and presenters gather enough professional courage to do a proper piece on Dan Andrews and his shady activities?

Teflon Dan will be there forever.

Then your not a politician in the true sense!

Murdoch media anti-Dan beat up, is what it is. Gutter based journos working for RW news companies that pay no tax. ABC included.

That is so wrong, it borders on the comedic

Never trust a politician who says this

What about the belt and road in Vic?

😆

A lot of money from China

bad guy

ABC coming to the rescue again

Not during covid you didn't

This is also part of a more sinister plot by Right Wing Political Actors to discredit Anti-Corruption Watchdogs.

They can try but they will not succeed at dragging him down. He has done well if very tough times and we need to acknowledge and give him credit.

It's the same as the Federal Election. Australia's Right Wing Media all swinging in to bat for the LNP! I'm not voting for Dan but I can see a media beat up (again!)

well why 4 ibac investigations

Liberals be like,,,”well if Our guys are corrupt, Labor Obviously must be too!” Rationalisation!

What a (corrupt) liar.

🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, him pissing off on a 15 y/o victim that he/she ran over and nearly died... No bretho either. Corrupt as.

A vote for Daniel Andrews on November 26th is a vote to end freedom as we know it.
