The last 8 years has seen Melbourne go from one of the best cities in the world to an absolute crap hole. Labour has to go.

If you're going to throw out something you don't like, shouldn't you first ensure you've something better to replace it with?

In 2015, 16 and 17, Melbourne was ranked 1st according to the Global Liveability Ranking. In 2018 and 19, it was 2nd. In 2021 it was equal 8th, and 2022 equal 10th. Clearly it's a drop, but Top 10 is still excellent. For most of Andrews' 2 terms, Melbourne is 1 or 2.

But hasn’t he been a welcome breath of fresh air !
And in answer to your earlier question it’s named in honor of Victoria Nichols ??

How long do I have to ignore you before you get the message?

Interestingly, you’ve been grinding my gears for a while now, I’m glad to hear that it’s because you’re trying.

How about you just stop being a [inappropriate language deleted] and talk real issues ?
I’ll try to play by the same rules ??

PS
I’m not sure why you feel the way you do because I generally enjoy your contributions (with exceptions) but if you feel I’ve slighted you don’t be bashful, hit me up with a pm.
Cheers

I was sceptical about Albo, but yes you are correct he has been a breath of fresh air. Dunno if Dan is too happy with some of the cuts to Vic but they had to be done.

Do the girls know who Victoria is named in honour of?

My Mrs said the exactly the same thing.

What has that got to do with anything?

It is a crap name for a state, but Queen Victoria was one of the most benign monarchs of the colonial period.

It's Labor; terrible spelling but that's their choice.

On what basis is Melbourne a crap hole?  The 2022 most liveable city rankings have Melbourne as Australia's most liveable city and 10th in the world.

As Jon Faine pointed out in the Age a couple of weeks ago, Dan Andrews has a secret weapon that will keep him in the Premier's job: Matthew Guy  :
