Daniel Andrews lead paragraph

[edit]

First draft

Andrews is regarded as a prominent yet polarising figure in Australian politics.[1] Andrews received positive views for managing the 2019–20 bushfire season,[2] but has received mixed views for the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] He has been praised for implementing socially progressive and reformist policies,[5] whilst delivering major infrastructure projects including the Level Crossing Removal program, and the Metro Tunnel.[6] However, he has been criticised for overseeing party branch stacking,[7][8] the misuse of taxpayer election funds,[9] the cancellation of the East West Link,[10] and new economic agreements with China.[11] He has maintained long periods of popularity in opinion polls during his tenure as Premier,[12] but has seen a decrease in popularity both in public polling and within his own party after cancelling the 2026 Commonwealth Games.[13][14][15]
