@Shawny, you are very anti-labour, which is your right.
However, do you think liberals are all squeeky clean with no skeletons in the closet?

Everyone is corrupt

Not at all.

i never once said the Libs will right every wrong and are honest true blah blah blah. i know very well they are generally all liars that dont follow through on promises and both sides blame one another whenever the sh1te hits the fan however regardless of which side of the fence you sit on we cant keep re electing a corrupt government simply because the alternative’may’ be just as bad. You cannot allow this sort of governance rewarded with re electing.

This very situation should be enough to remove a government imo.

if the same corrupt culture was found on a board of any private company would the board not be stood down immediately?

come on mate this can not be defended in any shape or form.

I'm not sure 'everyone' is corrupt, Kruddler, but when any party remains in power without enough checks and balances, things appear to go backwards. And governments of different stripes tend to become 'corrupt' in different ways.
It give me nightmares to think how disastrous an extended period of Green party government might be, as I don't agree with many of their policies about anything.

However, I do think the Labour government of Victoria is considerably past its use-by date. I am hoping that there can be a viable alternative com Election Day.

With the season coming ever closer, it is time mull over what we want to do with our B&F award.
I expect to have the time to deal with it again this year, so that isn't a problem. But I do wish to consider what we do with it, considering that we appear to be having fewer and fewer voters:
[1] Do we want the same format that we've had?
Personally, I like it, as it gives me an opportunity to award everyone who needs a mention, that just the best one of two. However, it is complicated (for some).
[2] If we don't want to continue as it has been, what changes should we make?

"How people accept this absolute bloody disgrace corrupt bunch of criminals that just happens to be in charge of running our state - running it into the ground astounds me"

Not accepting it, Shawny.  This is an absolute disgrace and appropriate action needs to be taken against the appropriate people - with 'I know nothing' or 'I don't remember' not being acceptable.

There are two difficulties that I have. The first is that no one was really made (federally) accountable for Robodebt - one of many horrific actions of the gov of the day.  There is a bit of shrug the shoulders - what can we do.  The second is that the opposition have its scandals the other way with property development and Lobster with a mobster - once bitten twice shy? Unless we are able to be absolutely convinced that this is no longer going on.

The conflict of interest ($$, power, looking after mates) within parliament is nearly as big as in the AFL.

Nice try at deflecting.

How people accept this absolute bloody disgrace corrupt bunch of criminals that just happens to be in charge of running our state - running it into the ground astounds me.

And my comparsion to US politics and the obsession with everything that happens on the other side of the world is very relevant and if comparing that to the corrupt government we have here just happens to trigger you well so be it.

Im fking triggered at the corrupt spending of 15 BILLION dollars of OUR money.

15 billion in case you didnt know is 15 thousand MILLION and yet not one comment about your thoughts on this situation.

i wonder why that is ?😏


It’s because DJC gets a trailing commission…



😎

That was so funny - you should join the Labour party.

They pay clowns well

So Jacinta knew nothing about this. She was the infrastructure minister at the time yet 'claims' she knew nothing

Therefore one of the following is correct - she is a pathological liar like the man she proceeded or she is completely incompetent.

Not sure which one is better but this corrupt party cannot be re-elected - they just can't. The libs are the weakest they have ever been and don't provide much backbone or kickback against this which is so weak however what the current party has done to this state on practically every front is criminal and cannot be accepted anymore.

I understand there are millions of dyed on labour supporters (that never admit it of course) who's silence speaks volumes when issues in our own backyard are raised they refuse to comment refuse to dare go against their political beliefs BUT to wash down the drain 5000 MILLION dollars of our money to criminal entities and criminal activities all while the state is at debt levels that our great grand kids will be paying off is pure evil and madness we accept it. Victoria has no money to fix roads, has no money to fund hospitals or health care properly and understaffed emergency services - it just makes my blood boil and every tax paying Victorian should be feeling the same!

Their answer to our debt that they got us in is to introduce new taxes as well as increasing current already ridiculously high taxes - so the average hard working Victoria cops it both ways and they walk away from politics set up for life without missing a beat.

Disgusting governance and happening under our noses and we just take it. Jacinta and that Criminal before her (the new Skase) are a blight on politics and the only thing they are consistent on is corruption and pathological lying, right down to their very core.  

Its 9.30 in the morning and my blood pressure is raising. Think i better stop.
