Former Victorian Speaker to quit politics

The disgraced former Victorian Speaker under investigation by police for rorting parliamentary expenses will not stand for re-election in 2018.

Telmo Languiller announced on Saturday he would not be standing for election next year.

"I have been privileged to have been able to serve the people of Tarneit and more broadly the people of Victoria in various roles in the parliament," Mr Languiller said in a statement.

The member for Tarneit resigned from his post as Speaker in February after it was revealed he claimed a second residence allowance to live far away from the Melbourne CBD and his electorate.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the former Speaker had "staunchly" served families in the western suburbs of Melbourne for nearly two decades.

"I thank Telmo for his service to our parliament and our party, and I wish him the best for the future," Mr Andrews said.

Mr Languiller claimed the allowance when he moved to Queenscliff in 2016, also after a breakdown in his relationship.

He repaid the $38,000 in full in March shortly after the scandal broke.
