The man who has brought Victorian parliament to its knees

Disgraced Victorian MP Geoff Shaw may have lived to fight another day, as Victorian parliament hangs by a thread on the balance-of-power MPs expulsion.

Mr Shaw, who was suspended over misusing parliamentary entitlements, yesterday apologised to parliament. However, in comments later, he labelled the apology process a "farce".

Premier Denis Napthine moved to expel Mr Shaw this morning, a move that was expected to have Labor's support.

Now, Labor will block the expulsion of balance-of-power MP from parliament.

Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said the time to kick Mr Shaw out was three months ago when Labor pushed to expel him.

"What I will not do is agree to this grubby, cheap political stunt from a desperate premier," Mr Andrews told reporters today.

"We will vote against this because it is a stunt."

Mr Shaw, who last week spoke out against the government's East West Link road project, says he met all the requirements of his return from suspension and is being punished because of a conversation with a journalist.

"I have met the all the motion's requirements and yet, because I question the premier's pet $8 billion project and management and leadership style, he has taken it upon himself to rewrite the verdict of three investigations and the Victorian parliament," Mr Shaw said in a statement.

He said the premier was trying to keep him from representing Frankston in parliament.

"If this was really about an alleged breach of the code of conduct or the appropriateness of my apology, then this would have been finalised yesterday when I met all the points of the motion.

"The premier is relentlessly continuing his personal agenda to the detriment of the state he is supposed to be running."

There are only another eight sitting days left on the Victorian parliament calendar for 2014, before the November election. Should Mr Shaw serve out the remainder of the year, he will be entitled to more than $100,000 in parliamentary payout and resettlement allowances.

The MP's fate is expected to be decided tomorrow when the motion is moved about 10am.
