Victorian Aged Care Minister Luke Donnellan has resigned from the Cabinet after allegations he was involved in a Labor Party branch stacking operation.

Mr Donnellan informed Premier Daniel Andrews of his decision to resign on Monday afternoon after federal Labor MP Anthony Byrne accused him of paying ALP membership fees on behalf of others on the first day of public hearings at the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission .

“But let me be very clear: I never misused public funds or resources in any way, and this has absolutely nothing to do with my staff,” he said. The Premier responded to Mr Donnellan’s resignation in a statement in which he thanked the outgoing minister for his “contribution to the government”. “Luke’s work has seen a transformation of the system for children and families in Victoria, investing in hundreds of dedicated child protection workers and navigators to do their important work supporting families and kids – making sure they have the stable foundation to begin their lives.”
