The Source: Dan Andrews bails after meeting match at NGV Gala Ball

It seems Daniel Andrews can’t go anywhere these days. It’s not just golf courses which are out of bounds, now he’s been told off by a guest at the NGV Gala.

Former Premier Dan Andrews copped some criticism on his hairy chin at the NGV Gala.

Putting the squeeze on Victoria’s movers, shakers and headline makers.

It’s not just the golf course where all and sundry are teeing off at Daniel Andrews – it seems Melbourne’s social circuit is also fraught with traps.

A tuxedoed Andrews found himself in the rough again just after midnight at this weekend’s plush NGV Gala, which has been dubbed Melbourne’s own version of the prestigious Met Gala.

As Hollywood star Liam Hemsworth rubbed shoulders with Jess Gomes, a glam Melbourne mum summoned up all her Dutch courage to approach the ex-premier for a selfie.

But it was all a ruse.

No sooner had she snapped a picture of the pair grinning into the camera than she turned on Mr Andrews, giving him a piece of her mind about his tough pandemic restrictions.

She hated the way the then premier dealt with lockdowns and how it “screwed up all our children”, the feisty mum said.

Despite being “very drunk” himself, according to curious onlookers, the ex politician for once bit his tongue and copped it on his hairy chin.

But almost immediately afterwards Mr Andrews raced off to find his wife Catherine, resplendent in red, before they both made a swift exit.

The merry guest told the Source that she had felt compelled to tell it like it was and not shower him with compliments. Ouch.
