Victoria Police respond to "anti-Dan" Andrews sticker on patrol car

Locals in Melbourne were shocked after they spotted a police patrol car driving around with an anti-Dan sticker on the back.

The sticker, which was placed on the car's back window, showed Victorian Premier Dan Andrews with a red line across his face and the caption "Make Victoria Great Again", which is a play on words for President Donald Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again".

The Victorian Police have gone on Facebook to clear up the issues, saying that the driver of the patrol car was not anti-government.

“Hi everyone. We’re aware of a photo going around on social media of a Victoria Police vehicle with a sticker on its rear window,” the post begins.

“The vehicle had been left unattended for a short time in Yarra Glen when an unknown person affixed the sticker on the vehicle.

“Unfortunately, it was driven to Lilydale before the sticker was noticed and immediately removed.

“We would just like to state for the record that we think Victoria is already great but would urge members of the public to refrain from putting stickers on our vehicles. Thank you.”
