The Us surely couldn't be that stupid to re elect them.
Biden was a walking corspe would made a absolute fool of himself until they realised they had no hope winning with him in charge so they booted him and was faced with having to run with their VC Kamala who is not fit to run a KFC store let alone a country.
like them or not fact is during their ruin rent has increased by 30% food by 50% all while taxes increased by 28%.

but then again in our own backyard a youth mental health organisation elects none other then Mr Dan Andrews as the chair!!!!

i mean even all hard nosed labor voters would have thought that was joke.

Everyone has a team and most will support them no matter what they do. Even run over a kid on a bike and cover it up.

Yep. nothing to see here. Corrupt dishonest to the core and to the very end.

And word is they want to erect a statue for dictator dan. Better have 24 hour guards or it wont last a day.

What makes me laugh is that people actually think the other mob is any better.  None of them are worth your vote.

Santa Monica lifted rent caps - not a fed policy, but the effect was an immediate increase in homelessness due to increased rent.

Kennett put forth any premier for 3,000 days gets a statue - not Dan's fault, although agree with the statues longevity! Kennett probably didn't envisage 1999.

With a lot of short term politics it can be hard to determine the real consequences of policies - sometimes they take years to manifest and working out blame or congratulations is pretty hard.

Not in the case of local politics. We are an absolute basket case in this state on so many levels. Roads that have pot holes you can lose a small car in, hospital and ambulance care that is under resourced and inadequate, a CBD that's a ghost town (unless a strike is happening) are all stuffed.

Mental health is at record levels yet there is a lack of care in facilities yet we blow 300+ million on sporting events that they pull the pin on after realizing its a bad economic decision.  Any chance they could have been made before throwing 100s of millions into it. Yet there is still those who say even that was a good decision  :-[

Crime rates and a legal system mainly in regards to bail is simply broken and never changes despite all the talk everytime there is another innocent death as a result to a crim on bail. Disgusting and as i said never changes. 

Add in the highest taxes of any state, small business that are on there knees and its no wonder many are packing up and heading North.

Im sure many on here will pipe up and have a excuse for everything and say old mate Dan did a wonderful time ::)

Getting back on topic, a mate from the States is suggesting that, rather than another debate, both candidates sit a two hour lie detector test 🙂

Don't think it will take 2 hours......
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

You seem to have an aversion to facts, some vague reference to "they" as in "they the left" I presume!

You do realise this is caused by a legislative council policy enacted under Jeff Kennett, it seems Jeff was expecting to make the 3000 days cut-off, but failed, ................... missed it by that much!

Quote
Each premier since 1933, apart from Ian Macfarlan, who only served for 51 days, has had a portrait commissioned for the Victorian Parliament's portrait collection. The tradition was initiated by Legislative Council President Fred Grimwade.

Premiers who hold the office for 3,000 days are granted a statue as a commemoration of their legacy. Five premiers, Daniel Andrews, Henry Bolte, John Cain Jr, Albert Dunstan, and Rupert Hamer, have achieved this milestone and four have their statues near the premier's office at 1 Treasury Place.

That statue for Andrews is going to cost $100k or even more, when the state has the worst debt in the country and The 2024–25 Victorian Budget forecasts net debt will grow from $156.2 billion on 30 June 2025 ( $3.3 billion higher than the 2023–24 Budget Update forecast) to $187.8 billion by 30 June 2028. This reflects annual on average debt growth rate of 6.3% per year, Revenue is expected to only increase by 3.6%....why waste $100k on the clown that got us into so much debt, he should do the right thing and reject the statue and put the $100k back into a charity where it will do some good.

Mind boggling stuff EB.

His appointment to chair of mental health organization is even worst imo. Its as sad as it is comical considering the effects on mental health of young Victorians due to the tightest lockdown laws for any place on EARTH! Locked up play grounds, golf courses fishing in a boat in the bay, couldn't even go for a drive in your car. Couldn't even go for a walk around a park at one stage! Yet all that and the knob still manages to botch the quarantine and kill over 800 people while the rest of Australia were sitting under 50.  Imagine how parents who lost children to suicide during his ruin would feel about this decision.

Be great if on his first day he is greeted in the foyer by the young man left mangled under the Andrews SUV.    

And still there are those that adore the bloke. I suppose Hitler and Saddam had followers that would die for them so i guess all dictators have there support regardless of what they do.

Sorry for the cynicism, but it seems quite bizarre how Andrews managed to get elected so many times given pretty much everybody now seems to claim they wanted him gone long ago!

I don't care on which side of politics they sit, if they manage to qualify then they qualify. All Victorians had the opportunity to vote him out, and didn't, the shallowness is in the retrospective assessment. ;)

FWIW, I suspect the portraits are just as expensive.
