Victorian Deputy Premier Jacinta Allen tipped to replace Daniel Andrews;
Political analyst Paul Strangio from Monash University says Daniel Andrews leaves office as a "titan" of Victorian politics. NDIS Minister Bill Shorten says the practice is unacceptable and he is seeking an explanation after the video was broadcast on the ABC's 4 Corners program. Mr Shorten says the department is seeking information about whether the program was allowed to continue.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says states and territories should conduct their own inquiries into their handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mr Albanese tells ABC Radio the actions of state and territory governments would be outside the scope of the federal inquiry. Of the more than 94,000 general and strip searches undertaken from 2013 until June 30 this year after a drug dog detection, nearly 71,000 yielded no illicit drugs, according to figures released to Greens MP Cate Faehrmann.He says many of the negative results are actually positive results.
