A Victorian Government Minister has been stood down by Premier Daniel Andrews over allegations of bullying behaviour.

Mr Andrews called a snap press conference on Saturday to announce the action, saying the abusive behaviour complaint about Adem Somyurek “might” be a police matter.

Mr Somyurek has been a member of the Upper House since 2002, and has served as the Minister for Small Business, Innovation and Trade since Labor took power last year.

More to come.
