A Victorian government MP has been forced out of parliamentary Labor after another staff member came forward with allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Premier Jacinta Allan dumped South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman from the party late on Monday after first dropping him as the parliamentary secretary for schools on Friday over initial allegations.
"Last night I asked the member for South Barwon to resign as a member of the parliamentary Labor Party and he accepted that decision and decided to resign," she told reporters on Tuesday.
"There's simply no room, no room, no tolerance is sort of behaviour within the government."
After earlier defending her decision to keep him in the Labor Party room, Ms Allan said she received further allegations on Monday afternoon.
"It was repeat inappropriate behaviour, persistent and inappropriate behaviour towards staff," she said.
Mr Cheeseman did not deny the allegations but said it was an "incredibly distressing time" for him and his family.
"A short while ago, I received a call requesting my registration (sic) from the parliamentary Labor Party," he wrote on Facebook.
"I have provided that registration (sic). I will continue to serve the people of South Barwon as their MP."
Mr Cheeseman's dismissal from the Labor caucus means he will have to sit on the crossbench in the lower house with Ringwood MP Will Fowles, who was also forced to resign from Labor's parliamentary party in August over the alleged assault of a ministerial staffer.
Mr Fowles maintains his innocence.
Former premier Daniel Andrews referred the allegation to police, with the investigation concluding in January and no charges laid.
Mr Cheeseman was the member for the federal electorate of Corangamite from 2007 to 2013 and moved into state politics in 2018 after his election to the Geelong-based seat of South Barwon.
He previously served as the parliamentary secretary for community sport and the doomed 2026 Commonwealth Games before being handed the education role in October.
