The Victorian Premier suffered five broken ribs and a fractured T7 vertebrae after slipping on wet stairs at a holiday home on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne, on March 9.
He was discharged from the Alfred Hospital six days later and has made steady progress at home, but state officials fear the 48-year-old will not be well enough to resume his political duties at the end of April as planned. This was a nasty, nasty injury. Fractured ribs, fractured vertebrae, acting premier James Merlino told reporters on Thursday.
