Victorian Liberal MP Tim Smith is resisting calls for him to resign from Parliament after being caught in a drink driving scandal.

The member for Kew broke his silence for the first time after he was recorded drink driving more than two times the legal blood alcohol limit over the weekend.

Speaking to Nine Radio, Mr Smith expressed remorse, describing his actions – which prompted him to resign from the shadow frontbench – as “shameful and stupid”.

“I have done something shameful and stupid and I’m so, so sorry for the embarrassment and the harm that I have caused,” he said.

It comes as Opposition leader Matthew Guy urged him to not contest for the next state election.
