Darren Cheeseman appears to have returned to work.
The Herald Sun has reported the member for South Barwon has been at the Clean Energy Council’s Australian Clean Energy Summit in Sydney in recent days.
Cheeseman hasn’t been in parliament since he was kicked out of the Labor Party in April.
Last month, Liberal member for Polwarth Richard Riordan said Cheeseman’s continued absence could be looked at under new legislation.
“Continued unexplained absences from state parliament and not representing his constituents and not being there for a voice for Geelong region, would definitely qualify under the new legislation,” Mr Riordan said.
He also said the opposition would be keeping a close eye on the local MP.
“It’s been going on for a long time, and Labor simply can’t just hide its misbehaving MPs on the back benches and not insist they represent their constituents.”
