Daniel Andrews is Victoria's new premier, consigning Denis Napthine's Coalition to being the state's first one-term government in 60 years.
Amid an anti-Coalition backlash over rising unemployment, the East West Link, and the Abbott government, Labor has picked up at least 46 seats in the 88-seat lower house, winning the critical sandbelt electorates of Mordialloc, Carrum, and possibly Bentleigh and Frankston, while retaining seats around Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong.
The Greens have also made history in the Victorian Parliament, with Melbourne candidate Ellen Sandell beating Labor MP Jennifer Kanis to secure the minor party's first lower house seat, while former Labor minister Richard Wynne was also under threat of losing Richmond
