I dislike Daniel Andrews intensely

Looking forward to Tisme and Sir Rumpole's take on this, I guess it will be Tony Abbott's fault.

You do know that Sir Rumpole and I don't see eye to eye on a lot of things (e.g. he's nowhere near the proud Ozzie supremacist I am), but such is his obvious charm and calibrated patience that a bromance is never out of the question. We would be the ideal 21st century dysfunctional couple and B@s could be our bastard child

All of this disdain for a Vic premier, is a far cry from me old mates Ray and Brian ... two enduring heroes of Western Australia who made the mistake of articulating a proud tradition that is WA governance, in the once most progressively thinking state in the confederacy of the Southern Cross.....wassie, wassie, wassie, oi oi oi.

I should also point out that I get likes from both Tony and as early as today from Mark Latham too .... both alternative righters on different sides of the track ...
 
@Tink Around 6 months a year. Frequently commute between Sydney and Melbourne.

The Napthine Govt should have won that election but they had three things going against them.
  • The state economy was in tatters.
  • The East West Link looked like snake oil.
  • The Abbott Govt made the Liberal brand toxic.
Thugs? Yep. This is nothing new. Just more widely reported. Started at Noble Park IIRC. I remember warnings about walking alone anywhere between St Kilda and Port Phillip bay for the last 15 years which coincides with the first arrival of said thugs under a program devised by the Howard Govt and subsequent Govts.
 
Labor and the Greens are both connected to the unions that pick and choose who they deal with -- $$$$$$$$

You are entitled to your view.
 
Jeff Kennett has resigned as chair of a key new panel which will oversee Victoria’s first medically supervised drug-injecting centre, in protest at Labor’s rorts-for-votes fiasco.

In a major blow to Premier Daniel Andrews and his bid for bipartisan oversight of the controversial centre, Mr Kennett says that despite still supporting it, he cannot remain involved.

The former Liberal premier says the Ombudsman’s report into Labor’s $388,000 “red shirts” scam shows the Andrews Government has “lost any moral authority”.

Kennett shows the kind of moral leadership too often lacking:

In the past two weeks we have seen the spirit of competition severely compromised and challenged, in two different fronts: the conduct of politics in Victoria and the conduct of our cricket team in South Africa.

Not only did it cheat using our money, it then spent our money to stop any investigation and more recently to stop the release of the findings of the independent Ombudsman, Deborah Glass.

Just before the report was released, the ALP repaid the amount it was found to have taken from the public, roughly $388,000. But of course it has not repaid the huge amount it spent trying to stop the release of the report.

And the Premier and his colleagues have refused to accept any personal responsibility.

So, what happens if a person robs a convenience store, a bank, or steals from a client, is caught and repays the money? Will our government say that is fine and no further penalty need be imposed?...

So disappointed am I at the failure of the Andrews government to apply its standards consistently, to accept responsibility for the fraud it has collectively committed, I have decided to resign as chairman of the review panel overseeing the introduction of Victoria’s first medically supervised injecting facility.

Victorian judges will be forced to send criminals convicted of aggravated home invasions and carjackings to prison under reforms from the Andrews Government.

The courts will be banned from using Community Correction Orders (CCO) for those offences.

And the use of "special reasons" for imposing CCOs will be restricted to five other offences, including culpable driving causing death.

Ice will be allowed in Melbourne safe injecting room

Drug users will be allowed to consume ice under medical supervision at Melbourne's new safe injecting room, despite previous state government assurances that it would be banned from the centre.

Users will be able to take up to three grams of drugs such as heroin or ice into the injecting centre without penalty.

The government released regulations for the North Richmond Centre late on Tuesday afternoon that revealed there will be no restriction on the drugs of dependence that can be used in the injecting room.

It come after Mental Health Minister Martin Foley said last October there would be protocols developed to keep ice and amphetamines out of the centre.

I wonder if the states weren't in so much debt, if this would have been considered by govt.

Apparently drug pushers are defined by their social status ..... ministers having top spot while street vendors are on the lowest rung .
 
Roz Ward was from LaTrobe University, and one of the founders of Safe School.

Marxist Roz Ward now Victorian school LGBTI adviser
May 23, 2016

Roz Ward, the hardline Marxist behind the contentious Safe Schools program, has been appointed to a high-level committee advising the Victorian government on education issues.

With the taxpayer-funded sexual and gender diversity program having become a hot election issue, after the Greens and Labor pledged to boost funding, the Andrews Labor government appears increasingly committed to pushing an LGBTI agenda in the schoolyard.

Ms Ward, already a director of the Safe Schools Coalition Victoria, has joined the education reference group set up to provide advice on the government’s LGBTI education priorities and identify new ways to improve equality for gay and transgender youth in schools.

The group comes under the mantle of the government’s LGBTI Taskforce, co-chaired by leading transgender activist Brenda Appleton, which provides direct advice to Equality Minister Martin Foley.

While the taskforce membership was announced in September, the make-up of its education reference group has not been publicly disclosed. But Ms Ward’s role is detailed on the website of La Trobe University’s Australian Research Centre in Sex Health and Society, where she works.

Ms Ward, an academic with a degree in gender studies, has become the controversial face of the Safe Schools movement, largely due to her extreme Left political views; including publicly linking the program to a broader Marxist push to liberate society from “gender constructs”.

Can you imagine the guilt felt by all those good Anglicans who sponsored the Sudanese Anglicans into Oz, little knowing they were introducing a USA ghetto virus/contagion carried by the children.
 
Sky News has deteriorated into Fox News style tabloid rubbish over the past few years. I used to watch it every day, now I can't stand it now with Bolt and the like harping on with their "right vs. left" ranting and raving. If I turn on a news channel I expect to see news actually being reported. I don't blame them for switching it off in train stations.
