Matthew Guy will need to distance himself from Tim Smith if he wants to give himself the best shot at winning the election next year as well as winning the respect of his colleagues.
Shadow Attorney-General Tim Smith resigned from his senior post with the Victorian state opposition on Sunday, just hours after he ploughed his car into a fence while drink driving in Melbourne s inner east.
Victoria Police say emergency services were called to reports a car had collided with another vehicle on Power Street, Hawthorn, before crashing into a fence just before 9pm on Saturday.
