Victorian Labor Premier Daniel Andrews has admitted his government made mistakes during the state’s pandemic response but insists his measures were a “triumph” that deserves congratulatory adulation.

“I wouldn’t want anyone to think that we regard our pandemic response across the board as having been perfect—of course it wasn’t,” Andrews told Stephen Donnelly, a former Labor campaigner and host of left-leaning podcast Socially Democrat.
