Matthew Guy. Can a mediocre leader with a 3rd rate team win government?

[Baltimore Jack]

Matthew (call me Matt) Guy wants to second Captain America to the Victorian Police to help clean up the crime rate

Matt said in a statement: "I also think we could encourage Captain America to bring his friends from the Avengers with him to help us"

What is going on with Tory education in this State. Just heard Georgie Crozier twice refer to the Queen's death as monumentous.

She'd be a Fintona or Lauriston girl yeh ?

Is she asking for some statues to be erected in the Queen's honour?

What an idiot!

haha it made me think of this

Don't blame the education system, the Vic Libs once considered Tim Smith a leader in waiting. That would indicate a very serious problem within the party and one which renders them unelectable until solved.

I think redirecting funds away from SRL could be a vote winner, if the funds were redirected in the right way. The problem for Guy is that he's trying to fight a battle on health, an area that voters at state level trust Labor on much more (across all states, not just Victoria), because they haven't slashed health budgets in the past the way the Liberals have. Seeing as Guy already has issues with trust, voters have little reason to believe he'll deliver. At the same time, by diverting funding away from transport altogether, he makes it look like he doesn't care about it, which hands Labor the conclusive advantage for any voter who values transport.

The better move would have been to announce he would divert the SRL funding into electrifying the Melton and Wyndham Vale lines, and building extensions to Clyde and Wollert. The easiest path back to power for the Liberals is winning the outer suburbs, but they can't do that through bigotry and scare tactics alone, they need to address the biggest issues in those areas.

Well they probably will have statues of the late queen hence making of monuments ie monumentous…

Infrastructure build has been popular in Melbourne. The LNP isn't going to win by opposing popular policy, and their alternate proposal is amateurish. It's disappointing they can't even lay a finger on Dan when we've been the worst performing state during covid, with a government that has no interest in accountability or honesty.

I was surprised he didn't mention this great Royle.

No. She went to Timbertop.

I now have a horrible image of her at school leading a worship group at the now King's former bunk bed

I maintain opposing SRL can help political fortunes, but it'd have to be prosecuted by a skilled politician who can clearly and succinctly explain what the problem is and how their replacement plan would make things better. But Guy (and the Vic Libs as a whole) are nowhere near skilled enough to do so. You're right, their counter-proposal is amateurish.

I personally hope the entire party burns down and the Greens become the opposition, though that's probably unlikely to happen.

ah, the collective wisdom of our alternative governments

the greens r doing a pretty good job as the opposition now. both federally and in vic. they seem 2 oppose more than the libs.

Mathew landslide Guy , why does this moron keep getting put back as leader?

He is their best choice.
Dim Tim is his only competition.

Libs are flying in Vic.

That might be for the best. There's very little accountability in politics without a viable opposition, which is what states like Victoria and WA are facing.

Her interview was a complete cluster* yesterday.

Spent 10 minutes bleating about the public holiday for the Queen and how it makes things so hard and how there should be more planning and on and on and on whinging and moaning.

Then spent the next 10 minutes bleating on about how great the Queen was and how we have to acknowledge her passing and how a public holiday is perfectly appropriate.

Conservatives are complete idiots. The fact they are trying to beat Labor on health shows how few ideas they actually have.

Underrated show.

Matthew Guy screeches about how he's going to fix "broken" ambulance system but has never actually spoken with Ambulance Union!

That’s actually astounding. Goes to show they don’t give two *s about actually fixing the issue and are solely using it for an election attack.

It took the pandemic for me to start following politics more.

Were they all this bad pre-pandemic?

I haven’t come across people I despise this much in my life.
