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.

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.
