Daniel Andrews goes on ‘tantrum’ in new interview

Former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews went on a “tantrum” in his first public interview since leaving politics, says Sky News host Rita Panahi.

Ms Panahi said the former premier was “blabbering on” about doing what needed to be done and how proud he was of his legacy.

In an extended interview on the Socially Democratic podcast, Mr Andrews slammed Sky News Australia’s “after dark bulls**t” as well as suggestions he was a “control freak” during his time as state leader.

“He seems to be utterly in denial about the angst that he’s receiving in retirement,” Ms Panahi said.

Outgoing Ombudsman Deborah Glass handed down a report revealing the Andrews government instilled a “culture of fear” and the public sector had been politicised.
