I still remember on election day I lost count of how many people would grab a HTV card (from anyone but the libs) and say "I braved the sudanese gangs and race riots to leave the safety of my house just to be here!!!"
they really overcooked the whole bloodshed on our streets bit
You don't want to look the wrong way at someone in Bentleigh. You might just end up being talked about as an undesirable at the next dinner party.‘they had huge billboards in Bentleigh etc saying how dangerous it is to live there under an Andrews government. They are seriously out of touch
Didn't help when Peter Dutton claimed that Melbournians were "afraid to go out for dinner", haha.
It just wasn't true, though. Melbournites weren't afraid to go out for dinner, and the otherwise healthy state of the restaurant industry (up until you-know-what) bears testament to that.Really? I know this is a cliche amongst far-left inner city and media types, but is the ordinary Australian really appalled when a politician raises an issue of public safety? Really?

It's like me saying that people are too afraid to go on long weekend holidays because of drunk drivers. Yes, drunk drivers are a public safety issue, but I'd be overstating the threat to a ridiculous degree.
The quote is:Are you being a little too literal though? Was what Dutton was saying, not that left-wing inner city residents stop before booking their restaurant meal in fear OR was Dutton saying that ordinary Australians out in the suburbs and elderly residents have an inkling of doubt as to their safety when heading outside at night?
Not enough to make them "scared to go out to a restaurant at night". It's just not an ever-present threat in the minds of most people like that, and so Dutton's comments came across as laughable hyperbole (or, at least, where I lived in Melbourne at the time). Certainly, it made people twitchy about groups of African kids in any kind of shopping strip - regardless of whether they were doing anything wrong, of course - but I wager that most people go throughout their daily Melbournian lives without seeing a single black African face most days, so the idea that African gangs are making people scared to go to dinner was ridiculous.Was the vision of the violence on TV enough to make a sizeable portion of suburban Melburnians think twice about their safety out at night?
err roight.. we must appease all minorities or else... but we mustn't forget the big end of town...yeah, no one cares about violent assaults, carjackings, breaking and entering etc etc

They have been a joke since Kennett. Im not close all to any of it and never was but you hear stories re preselections for the party and basically hear that decent people have bugger all chance of getting preselected (and same at federal level).
tim smith is not the type who appeals to Kew/Kooyong voters. How did that happen?
He’ll be fine. He is on a huge majority, and I think most people outside of BigFooty’s shouty SRP board and Murdoch media see privately contracted security as an error, but one that was made by all states
He pushed the hard lockdown, harder than other states, and it has been shown that it was a sensible decision.
The outbreak has hurt him politically, but it has also nullified the “Dictator Dan” tag.
Never, far too arrogant.
"That contract isn't worth the paper it's written on"
We live in the timeline where Side A can cause the trouble, Side B get into power and the government has to pay damages and Side A blames Side B for the state having no money for 20 years
Doubting our decision making processes is something that would benefit all of us.
In Victoria, your choice is Dan Andrews or tumbleweed.
A fate worse than death; almost as bad as wearing the same blazer twice to the bowls club.You don't want to look the wrong way at someone in Bentleigh. You might just end up being talked about as an undesirable at the next dinner party.
