WHAT THEY SAID
* “As a community we were not, as some would say, divided, we were instead united in our faith in science and in our faith and care for and in each other.” – Premier Daniel Andrews while declaring victory
* “To all of the Liberal family, folks, every election concludes itself but there’s another one to fight for as well. We’ve got a lot of work to do, we know that but we also know that our time in the sun will come again.” – Opposition Leader Matthew Guy conceding defeat
* “Labor and Liberal have taken too many voters for granted, and tonight we are seeing the beginning of the end of the two party system in Victoria.” – Greens Leader Samantha Ratnam
* “We’ve worked hard. We had what I felt was a very strong message but clearly the Victorian public haven’t taken that.” – Opposition health spokeswoman Georgie Crozier on Seven
* “I’ve spent a lot of time talking to a lot of people and there is a lot of people who have expressed really good confidence in the actions that the premier has taken, not just during the pandemic, but indeed through his entire time as premier.” – Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan on ABC
* “One of the great risks is the government will be so confident that what we’ve experienced in the past might be repeated. That is a breakdown of the Westminster system as we move to an autocracy and that is worrying.” – Former Premier Jeff Kennett on Seven
