Premier Daniel Andrews is going to keep Victorians waiting to hear his response to news that 16 of his MPs have been cleared of criminality in Labor's election rort scheme.
Mr Andrews' office confirmed he has no plans to face the media on Friday.
He has previously been tight-lipped on the issue.
"I don't intend to be a commentator on those matters. I just don't think it's appropriate," Mr Andrews told reporters last August.
Police yesterday exonerated 16 MPs of wrongdoing in connection with the scandal, in which $388,000 of taxpayer funds was used to pay electorate officers campaigning for Labor at the 2014 state poll.
The party has since repaid the money.
It was left to Police Minister Lisa Neville to face the cameras on behalf of the government on Thursday.
"This is over for MPs. It means MPs, as they always have done, remain focused on delivering for Victorians," she told reporters in Ballarat.
Ombudsman Deborah Glass previously found 21 past and present Labor MPs systematically misused public money during the party's successful campaign, with $388,000 in taxpayer funds approved for electorate officers who instead worked as campaign staff.
She also found their actions were "in good faith, depriving no personal benefit".
The news wasn't so good for former Labor treasurer John Lenders, who is expected to be "criminally interviewed" by police over his involvement in the scheme.
An unnamed electorate officer will also answer questions over the so-called "red shirts" scandal.
