Daniel Andrews

Daniel Andrews, Australian politician, 48th Premier of Victoria
Daniel Michael Andrews (born 6 July 1972) is an Australian politician who has been the 48th Premier of Victoria since December 2014 and the leader of the Victorian branch of the Labor Party since December 2010.

Andrews initially worked as a research and political officer, before being elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly at the 2002 election for the seat of Mulgrave. He was later appointed to the Ministry by Premier Steve Bracks in 2006, before being promoted by Premier John Brumby in 2007. After the defeat of Brumby at the 2010 election by Ted Baillieu, Andrews was elected as the Leader of the Labor Party in Victoria, becoming Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly.

In November 2014, Andrews led Labor to victory at the 2014 election; he was sworn in as Premier of Victoria by Governor Alex Chernov on 4 December. He led Labor to a second victory at the 2018 election with an increased majority. Major challenges of his premiership have been responding to the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season and the COVID-19 pandemic.
