Re: State Elections - ElwoodBlues1 - 09-26-2023
Comrade Dan's success at winning elections is more a reflection on how hopeless the Liberal opposition has been.....you need good opposition to create a good Government hence Andrews has been able to run amok and not be held accountable.
He either blames or sacks his own ministers once he has used them up or says he cant remember anything when the media have him cornered...brilliant politician, lousy Premier.

He was horrible - far too authoritarian.
Good Riddance.

The dictator leaves behind rental crisis, ambo response crisis, health waiting list crisis, debt crisis, teachers crisis, a cbd crisis, police recruitment crisis, crippling taxes most of any state and a train line that will never be finished!
Then we have the quarantine disaster taking 800 lives. No other place in the world had anything like the lockdowns we did and now as a result have debt our great grand children will still be paying off.

He leaves behind him, a Victorian debt that is larger than the combined total of NSW, Queensland and Tasmania. I generally hate all politicians but this arken tool I've hated like no other. I'd rather support Collingwood than this flog.
Thank God it's over.

He timed it perfectly. Jacinta Kirner.. I mean Allen will be the face of the mess that has been left.

I'd still rather support him than Collingwood, but I'd be hoping one of his covid responses would cancel the season...

Don’t say Dan Andrews didn’t do much for the people of the state he represented. He did one huge thing that many people will appreciate and clap and cheer him for. He even gets my applause. He quit. Thank the lord. Don’t let the door smack you on the way out. At least I will never have to listen to “I don’t recall, I can’t remember, and it wasn’t my job task to address that issue”. It would be interesting for those experts here who could find out what his retirement entitlement would be, alone with all the other perks and benefits he will enjoy for the rest of his life. He announced a few times this since he won the last election that he might not try for another term in office. He also spoke to the public a few times that he might not stay for this full current term. Dan had to use his powers to win office and keep his party in power. He did that. He has had to go about business as usual to keep his constituents thinking he is still working for them. Unfortunately the financial position this state is in is in trouble like never seen before. We will all suffer as tax payers. At a guess our kids will too. Maybe their kids also. Missing out on funding in areas that will benefit those that need it the most.
Good luck to the new leader. You know you can’t continue your role based on the reputation of your past leader. You now need to dig deep and make some new changes and choices. A larger population of Victoria will not even know who you are. I wish you the best being given a huge task with the worst budget going around in the political world. I am seriously thinking of moving to Queensland. Way before my property has little worth.

35% of the popular vote is hardly a landslide and given labor have unionised rusted on vote, its not a huge number of avergae Joes. Read the room. He's a prick who has left the state in more bebt than the rest of states combined.

Its a bit like TDK though. The price tag doesn't fit the benefit.
Funny the independent recommendations committee suggested it was the most important investment available to Victoria not long after he was first elected, unsurprisingly Dan ignored the advice and canned it at huge cost regardless. Turns out he had a thing for throwing away our money for nothing..
