Edward John O'Donohue (born 1 May 1974)[1] is a former member of the Victorian Legislative Council for the Liberal Party. O'Donohue was elected to the Eastern Victoria Region at the 2006 election.
O'Donohue served in the Napthine Ministry as Minister for Liquor and Gaming Regulation, Minister for Corrections and Minister for Crime Prevention from 22 April 2013 until its defeat at the 2014 state election. He had replaced Andrew McIntosh, who had resigned from the cabinet on 16 April.[2]
In August 2021, O'Donohue and another Australian MP made comments which were alleged to be inappropriate, for which they received criticism. [3]
In September 2021, O'Donohue announced that he would resign from Victorian politics, after a discussion with the Liberal Party’s new parliamentary leader Matthew Guy.[4] He resigned on 1 December 2021.[5]
