Where Daniel Andrews had a bus to launch his official campaign, Matthew Guy was dealing with an ambulance.

Andrews hit the road on Wednesday in Labor’s campaign bus, having ditched the North Face jacket and stern expression he became known for during the pandemic, in favour of a grin and a jacket embroidered with the insignia of the state of Victoria.
