Elections

Firstly, let me state that i couldn't give a rats behind about these kind of awards.

Secondly, let me state that like most awards there always seem to be some kind of driving force/agenda behind them......which brings me back to point 1 above.

That being said, the vitriol directed at Dan Andrews now and previous still has me stuffed.
He is no saint. He made mistakes. Name me one person who hasn't. Name me one politician who hasn't made more mistakes than positives.
So those in glass houses and all that.

I've gone into bat for Andrews before and its off the back of a couple things.
1. Who would've/could've done better?
All throughout the world, similar people made similar mistakes, plenty a lot worse than his.

2. The mistakes that he did make, he made for, generally, the right reasons.
That is, his biggest fault was that he trusted people to do the right thing.
He trusted the security company to follow orders.
He trusted the public to stay the f*** home when they were told to.
He trusted the public to wear masks and social distance etc.
He trusted us.
.....and that was his biggest fault.

3. He fronted up every day to give us the latest up to date information.
I think it was over 100 days straight in front of the media before he took a day off. Honestly, how many other people would do that?
Trump played golf more than he was in office early in his tenure to show where his loyalties lay.
He worked harder than anyone else in a similar position.

So again, back to my first point. Couldn't care less about the award, if he got it, or someone else or whatever.

The way people lose their minds whenever his name is mentioned has me stuffed.
It appears he shot bambi, bankrolled Hitler and fingerbanged your mum all at once. Only then could some of this rage begin to make sense to me.
