Vic CFA deal didn't hurt Labor: Andrews

Labor has so far picked up no Victorian seats and could lose two but Premier Daniel Andrews says a controversial CFA pay deal didn't hurt the vote.

He also backed Bill Shorten to stay on as leader whether he's in opposition or in government.

Mr Andrews pushed through a deal between the CFA and the United Firefighters Union, leading to anger among volunteers in some marginal seats.

Despite criticism from federal Labor figures, Mr Andrews pointed to swings to Labor in many CFA seats as evidence the controversy didn't hurt the vote.

"Off the highest base, we have added to that base, we have improved our position, we are set to have the highest two party preferred vote (on the mainland)," Mr Andrews told reporters on Sunday.

"If the Victorian result was repeated across Australia this would be a landslide victory for Labor." Mr Andrews backed Mr Shorten "100 per cent" to stay on as Labor leader.

"Bill Shorten is the right person to lead Labor whether it be as prime minster or as an opposition leader," he said.

Mr Andrews did not attend Mr Shorten's Melbourne election night event, and instead went to a local RSL for an event with his new local federal member Julian Hill.
