'I work seven days a week': Andrews addresses resignation rumours

Daniel Andrews has quashed rumours he is planning to quit as Victorian Premier in the coming months. 

Speculation about Mr Andrews' political future has intensified in recent weeks, with some reports indicating he was eyeing a June exit from politics. 

But Mr Andrews - the longest serving Labor premier in Victoria's history - at a press conference on Thursday recommitted to serving out his four year term.

"I think there's been a story or two in some gossip columns. Do I really need to tell you that gossip shouldn't be believed?" he said in response to speculation about his future. 

Mr Andrews has been Premier since December 2014 having led Labor to three consecutive election victories, the most recent being in November last year.

His decision to stay on until the 2026 election will see him become the second longest serving Victorian Premier, behind the Liberals Sir Henry Bolte who served for 17 years.

Mr Andrews made it clear at the press conference he works "seven days a week" and revealed his determination to get on with the job because there was "a lot more to do".      

"I serve at the pleasure of my colleagues and the Victorian community. And I'm about getting things done," he said. 

"I'm honoured to have been chosen on three occasions now to lead our state and as you all very well know… I work seven days a week.

"The phone's always on, we're always working hard to deliver our positive plan that hasn't changed and it won't change.

"I have a great team around me, they all work really hard too. It is a team and I'm very proud of all of them and all that we've achieved.

"But I tell you what, as much as we've done, there's a lot more to do and I'm focused on getting it done."

Mr Andrews in June last year told how he had no discussions about a handover of the top job amid Jacinta Allan's election as Deputy Premier after James Merlino's resignation. 

Just prior to last year's election campaign he also "absolutely" committed to serving another four year term.

"I've got lots of stuff to build, lots of reform to make, there's a lot of things to get on with," Mr Andrews said in October last year. 

"I want to keep building, I want to keep making big change and reform."
