Vic Daniel Andrews and the Statue of Limitations

[Sttew]

They COULD under the scope look at the states going it alone outside of national cabinet directions and the differences in outcomes.

But Albo has no intention of running an enquiry that could be damaging to Andrews a year out from an election.

Plus his merry band of sheep would just tell everyone to move on and ignore all past failures whilst launching all out assault on the already ousted former PM…

And for Dan to have already embraced the inquiry tells me a conversation like this has already been had:

Dan: "Let me be clear! If anything my government or I did in 2020-2021 is raised and criticised, or if I'm asked questions I don't like, someone will pay".

Albo: "Mate, you have my word. This won't be about us..."

 

[Gralin]

Well at least we're not NSW I guess.

Sir Humphrey Appleby approves of this inquiry , Never run an inquiry unless you know what the answer is already.

So in regards to the public housing towers they are knocking down in Melbourne, take it to the bank the following will occur

Who ever is tendering for it will do it for x hundreds of millions, and a clause will be they get part of the land to build a few private residences say 25:1 ratio

Said developer will cry poor due to costs blow outs and renegotiate a better ratio 20:1, by the time it’s finished it will end up being 5:1 at best.

If the libs were to get in they’d be on the phone making the offer within a month

Yet the article also states... "While the scope of the COVID-19 inquiry is wide, two areas that the government said it will not look at are "actions taken unilaterally by state and territory governments" and "international programs and activities assisting foreign countries".

So what exactly will it look at from a State and Territory level? How they interacted with the Feds????

Maybe they considered it a bit harsh to go after states that had to take over once the Border Force clowns folded their hand and ran away.

I think there are legitimate questions about one level of government investigating another level of government. I'm not entirely surprised.

For starters.....an inquiry enacted in Federal parliament cannot compel members of a State House to appear.

This inquiry can't compel anyone.

This inquiry can't compel anyone.

If the national cabinet papers ae not embargoed for years , we will get to see stuff the favoured nsw over other non labour states .

In Britain the inquiry was most interested in the WhatsApp chatter of Boris and his mates

Plan to demolish, rebuild public housing towers savaged by urban experts — The Age

Premier Daniel Andrews described the plan to remake the state’s 44 high-rise public housing towers as the biggest urban renewal project Australia has ever seen.

Maybe they considered it a bit harsh to go after states that had to take over once the Border Force clowns folded their hand and ran away.

Then call it what it is, a targeted political review.

All this ALP handwringing is pretty inconsistent with their pre-election mantra of improving the level of political discourse. If you're going to review something, do it properly. At present this just looks like a monumental waste of time and resources.

It can't compel them, but it shouldn't preclude you from asking the questions anyway.

What a f***ing cop-out.

 

[Blue Arrow]

He gets away with again thanks to Lightweight Albo & his union masters.

 

[MarcMaverick]

What I suspect will happen is this

Albo will grill Steven Marshall, Gladys Berijiklian and Pete Gutwein because they are LNP but stroke the heads of Anastasia, Mark and Dan because they're his mates.

Dan escapes responsibilities once again.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

Their policy statement claimed we're on track for 540,000. So it's offering about a 50% increase.

And when I look at how a rental numbers have increased, spectacularly amongst younger demographics, then see changes like these:





And Pesutto's response is to go into bat for landlords, I can't see the Libs returning to government for a very long time.

As we've seen, media outrage on behalf of the ruling class has little purchase with Victorian voters or younger voters in general.

Absolutely. The federal government put immense resources and support into underwriting NSW contact tracing, disease surveillance and logistics/medical supply efforts.

That last one is stupid, a landlord should be able to increase rent for a new tenant. They may do some work between tenants or had a long term tenant they’d been keeping it down for whilst everyone else is much higher.

The last point is essential and fantastic.

It prevents evictions as a tool of circumvention for the newly imposed rules.

If you wanted anymore proof that it’s a sham, Dan has agreed to appear and fully cooperate with the inquiry…

Well that's what they're trying to avoid. If they look at state decisions, can you see any of the nutters in Victoria being satisfied if the finding is anything other than Daniel Andrews is sent to the Hague for war-crimes?

It would become too partisan. Dutton's band of un-merry people will already call it a partisan witch-hunt, like they did with Robodebt. We don't need that exponentially expanded to every state and Territory, where if it's not damning enough of ALP it's partisan and if they point out that the LNP did something wrong, it's partisan.

That's a cop-out. If you're worried about what the political fall-out will be, don't do the bloody thing in the first place.

How is any of what you've said above worse than where we are now, which is people (rightly) pointing out that this looks like a protection racket for the ALP state governments. The actions of the federal government, and the unified decisions of National Cabinet, didn't exist in a vacuum during the pandemic.
