Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews Returns to Work 3 Months After Sustaining Injury
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is returning to work after spending more than three months in recovery following a fall at a Mornington Peninsula holiday rental.
The premier held a press conference at 10:30 a.m. on June 28 to update Victorians on the Metro Tunnel project, one of his government’s key infrastructure projects that have since blown out by nearly $3 billion, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
In a video posted on June 27, Andrews detailed how he fell when he was getting ready for work on March 9 and then taken to hospital where he learned of his injury an acute compression fracture of the T7 vertebra as well as several broken ribs.

“I want to thank Deputy Premier James Merlino who has done an astounding job.” The premier said the well-wishes and support he received “meant the world” to him. Some details about the premier s condition were unknown at the time of his accident and a Liberal MP earlier this month asked a series of questions about who owned the holiday home where Andrews and his family were staying, who called the ambulance, and whether police had interviewed the premier. Andrews said despite releasing a statement Sunday about his injury in his own words, putting an end to the “vile stories” about the incident may not be possible.
