Daniel Andrews would ‘gaslight’ journalists and ‘make them look stupid’

The Australian’s media writer Sophie Elsworth claims former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews had a large contingency of the media “wrapped around his little fingers”.

Mr Andrews announced his shock resignation on Tuesday afternoon after nine years in the state’s top job.

“He always was able to control the narrative; he was very good at shutting down journalists, gaslighting them, making them look stupid – he was a master at that,” Ms Elsworth said.

“He was incredibly popular with the Victorian public, and I know that will be hard to fathom for some people around the rest of the country, but he rocked it in the last election.”

Ms Elsworth added that the state’s new Premier, Jacinta Allan, will not have any of the attention Mr Andrews had.
