Daniel Andrews has been nominated for a prestigious award for his leadership during the pandemic.

The Victorian Premier was the only state leader to be short-listed for the McKinnon Prize.

The selection panel said Andrews was nominated because of his “firm, decisive and courageous leadership”.

“Victoria, seriously, don’t give him a trophy, give him the sack,” Ben Fordham said.

Other nominees include Scott Morrison, Josh Frydenberg, Greg Hunt and Ken Wyatt.
