Dan Andrews resigns: 'You never want to get to a place where you resent this job.'

Premier Daniel Andrews has stepped down as the leader of Victoria after nine years in power.

"Every waking moment is about the work - and there is only so long you can do that for. So I'm looking forward to a very different place and doing different different things. And part of this is I don't know what I'll finish up doing. But I think at least a good part of it will be about trying to support Victoria to be strong and to be leading our nation."
