A member of the Victorian government has been removed from the Labor Party room due to new accusations.

Recent reports have brought to light concerning accusations of inappropriate behavior towards staff by South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman, leading to his expulsion from the Victorian parliamentary Labor Party. Premier Jacinta Allan stated that these allegations have forced her to take the drastic step of removing Cheeseman from the party entirely. This decision comes just days after he was removed from his role as parliamentary secretary for education due to complaints about his conduct.

The premier's office released a statement last night, emphasizing that the safety and well-being of staff is of utmost importance and cannot be compromised. Allan further explained that she had received new information about additional allegations of persistent, inappropriate behavior towards a member of staff by Cheeseman. After conducting inquiries and consulting with her colleagues, she made the difficult decision to ask the MP to resign from the Parliamentary Labor Party – a request he ultimately complied with.

In light of these latest accusations, it has become clear to the premier that there is no place for Cheeseman in her government. This decision was not made lightly, but it was deemed necessary in order to uphold the values and standards expected of a member of the parliamentary Labor Party. The premier also reassured the public that these allegations are being taken seriously and that appropriate actions will be taken.

In a statement on his Facebook page, Cheeseman acknowledged the recent turn of events and confirmed that he will continue to serve as the MP for South Barwon. He also expressed his distress and asked for privacy for himself and his family during this difficult time. While this news may come as a shock to many, it is clear that the premier and her colleagues have taken the necessary steps to address the serious allegations against Cheeseman and ensure the safety and well-being of staff.
