2014 Victorian Election

Yes, it seems to have tightened, drsmith, going by the few different polls I have seen.
Here is hoping.
I will stay optimistic until the day.

I am all for the East West Link, explod, I have said that before.

No contract has ever been ripped up, and Andrews did have a private meeting with the builders, I am sure they were concerned after his back flip.
Yes, yes, one minute, no, the next.

If Labor does anything, it's always double the time and pay, for their union mates.
No money left for anything else.
I don't agree with that.

Andrews was Health Minister last time, was it any better.
Yes, we will know next week.

At 52/48 I was thinking the difference was at least a little less than miracle level but the Sportsbet odds are still in miracle territory.
 
Oh the pain, the pain, drsmith (LOL, I used to love that show).

How could Victorians even think of voting in a Labor/Green Government.

A disaster for our state.
 
Dan Andrews shows Labor hasn’t learned

Well the ALP confirms Unions will control the agenda through sacking the Board of Ambulance Victoria.

Wait till the CFMEU makes its demands.

Vic ALP wants to declare day before Grand Final a public holiday. Great news for growing youth unemployment. No work no hope the new ALP way

Re-introducing mixed martial arts? Violence in a cage. Surely we do not need to conduct or promote such sport
 
The CFMEU already have made their demands.
The Minister for building and infrastructure is going to be a CFMEU member according to the Age today.
Also Andrews met with Mick Gatto last week! Are we dumb or what.
 
How stupid is this Vic.Labor leader Andrews.

If Victorians vote for a Labor Government you will see a repeat of what the Beattie/Bligh Labor did to Queensland.

TONY Abbott has killed off any chance of Victoria receiving the $3 billion in federal funding committed to the nation’s biggest urban road and tunnel project if Labor is elected to power at the weekend.

The Prime Minister has warned Labor in writing that if it dumps the project it will miss out on the funds, opening the way for other states and territories to share in a multi-billion-dollar windfall.

Labor leader Daniel Andrews has campaigned on opposing the $7bn first stage of the East West Link road and tunnel project, claiming he can convince Mr Abbott to allocate the funds elsewhere.

But in an election-eve open letter obtained by The Australian, Mr Abbott has warned political leaders in Victoria that the $3bn will only be delivered if the road goes ahead.

This means that if Labor is elected it will have to return $1.5bn already advanced and it will have to extract $1.5bn from the budget forward estimates,’’ Mr Abbott writes.

Building bigger roads to solve traffic congestion problem is the same as buying bigger pants to solve your obesity problem.
 
Agree, noco and Knobby.

The disaster that Andrews created on his own watch as a Gaming and Health Minister should have been enough, and now he is protecting his criminal mates also.

With everything that has happened in Victoria regarding the unions and corruption, they would be rubbing their hands with glee.

We have a few more days...

Well considering the Grand Final is probably Victoria's holiest day behind Easter Friday, it might not be a bad idea.
 
As much as we love the Grand Final, Tisme, I don't think we need a public holiday for the day before.
The whole week is full of events and celebrations.
 
I'm not a Victorian but I hope Labor win.

We need some opposition to a Federal Liberal government that has lost its way (if it ever had one).

Interestingly the pattern overall in Australia has been, lib canberra, states go to labour and vice versa.

So perhaps this recognises that people like the diversity. And like a holiday now and again, we do.

If Victorians want their state to be run by the CFMEU and the likes of Mick Gatto the blinkered electors will get what they deserve.:rolleyes: It will probably start a stampede of persecuted refugees to the political sanity of Mike Baird's NSW.

Of course you would like a Labor win in Victoria (AFTER ALL THEY ARE YOUR FABIAN COMRADES) and if they do the Victorians will be dealing with the CMFEU and not the Labor Party......the CFMEU will dictate the terms and the voters will be sorry they made the wrong choice......they will find out the hard way.
