Re: State Elections - laj - 09-28-2023
Seems like he was corrupt within his own Party but good for the state. Had great vision for his state and was always front and centre in a crisis. Even 2 weeks ago he was still 56-44 up 2PP, greater than at the last election. Certainly polarised people but a great percentage those who said they vote Labor said it was due to Andrews. Like anything, it was the vocal minority that made the most noise.

The guy is a flog. Publicly said it's not for me to decide who my successor is then tore strips off of them for daring to challenge his apprentice. He was a great politician and great at winning elections but is Victoria better than it was a decade ago? No, not by any measure.

Daniel Michael ANDREWS
For eminent service to the people and Parliament of Victoria, to public health, to policy and regulatory reform, and to infrastructure development.
The credibility of the Kings Awards took a massive hit today with former premier Dan Andrews receiving a "Companion of the Order of Australia “. Not often I would agree with Jeff Kennett or Neil Mitchell on anything but they got it right with Dan Andrews not deserving of the award and imho he should have just faded into the background after leaving the state in such a dire mess.
Now we also have to cop a bronze statue of him at Treasury Gardens for his long political tenure....another waste of money courtesy of the former Premier.
Re: State Elections - dodge - 06-10-2024
There are some very worthy recipients of awards.
- the nominee is not to be told about their nomination. (I'm tipping this may often be broken, but go with it). Like receiving diplomatic positions, I wonder if this was included in Dan's resignation.
- the award must not be given for paid work. Counts out all politicians whilst they are in parliament and many others.
I had to write a reference for a nominee and the Award people did call to quickly interview and confirm that the work was outside employment.
There would be thousands that aren't nominated - partly because a lot of us just think it's a mate who's doing a lot of good things and mate is humble and doesn't want recognition.
Bit of an archaic thing.
