Vic Daniel Andrews and the Statue of Limitations

[demondavey]

When was the last time an LNP government in Victoria canned the Commonwealth Games 13 months after winning the right to the event, claiming costs had spiralled by more than 100% but refusing to provide any detail because the exit penalty was still being negotiated LOL?

I think you’ll find there’s been plenty of blunders over the years

 

[adogsfan5]

Made some mistakes, sure, but Gladys B also let cases surge well beyond anything we saw down here because she refused to lock down to save face. At the end of the day I am someone that always takes precautions and have adjusted my life accordingly. People probably needed to do the same and make some sacrifices for public safety.

Do you think Joe Public gave a * about anyone but Joe Public? Next thing you’ll want someone to hold your prong when you have leak.

Heres a hot tip, he hasn’t been copping it nonstop in the media because cases surged in the state 3 years ago.

 

[adogsfan5]

Mate, you've gotta actually produce the goods, not just narrate a version of what you imagine(d) will or did happen.

As it stands now, he cancelled the games, public support is solid and I'm also in agreement with the decision.

The media are as always in hysterics but that hasn't and won't move the needle. You want me to care, then I need a reason.

The media didn’t call the inquiry Hurls.

 

[MarcMaverick]

So they support and inquiry but it’s too late to play the ‘hero’? I don’t think they’re trying to play anything. Why do paranoid people always think there’s an agenda?

Sensible you mean.

The greens have always been in lockstep with Labor. It's why they are known as the Watermelons. They're trying to have a face-turn but we all know whats going to happen, They'll kowtow and Dan will force them to bend the knee. Nearly every legislation that Labor passed through the greens were in lockstep in helping to pass through. They have both been responsible for bankrupting the state. It's too late for the Watermelons to start fixing the mess that they have helped create,

Enlighten me then. Cases surged everywhere. We’ve seen conservative leaders make monumental blunders according Gladys whom is out on her arse whilst Dan is still in.

Yes, and as always, I will wait for the inquiry findings to be delivered before jumping on the hype train.

Not necessarily. If you listen to many greens representatives they are pretty dark on labor. They’ll align with them for convenience but there’s a fairly significant gap in values. Labor isn’t what labor once was.

name the blunders that cost us $1bn with nothing to show for it

What’s your take on Robert Redlich’s findings and what he had to say about Grey corruption in Victoria. Not a media beat up. Not an LNP beat up, but grave concerns expressed by a man appointed by Dan.

 

[adogsfan5]

Yes, and as always, I will wait for the inquiry findings to be delivered before jumping on the hype train.

Here’s what I don’t get though, if a poster has stated that they believe it’s a good thing that there’s an inquiry, or reporting the facts that an inquiry will occur, do you consider that as jumping on the hype train?

Because right now, I don’t believe anyone has guessed the result going against labor, in fact I reckon most have said nothing will come from it

 

[My_Username]

Since COVID all they’ve done is go after Dan Andrews. Even when we was re-elected in an absolute landslide they’ve still gone him. It’s pretty obvious people wanted him in power. They just hate his guts.

Absolute landslide?

They got 36.66% of the vote, a drop of 6.2%, against an opposition so insipid you have to assume they were tanking.

Because that isn't what is happening. It's all the additional fiction and tantrums that come along with those statements.

You should know that.

We've had multiple terms of this nonsense from the media and assorted cookers and it has amounted to zilch.

What would you like Victorian taxpayers who aren’t really a fan of him to say?

EW link side letter.

 

[Sttew]

EW link side letter.

That was Dan. He told us the state wouldn’t pay a cent. If he’d proceeded with the EW Link, it would have been built and in use for 6+ years. Remember we were told the cost benefit didn’t stack up? The cost benefit ratio of the Westgate Tunnel is worse

Dan did the side letter? News to me. Hack better Sttew.

 

[Gralin]

My bad. The side letter didn’t cost anything. It was Dan canning the road because he didn’t think the economics stacked up that cost us $1bn

No it was the side letter signed before the election by the party that said the EW Link was an election issue thus creating the situation where if Dan did what the public voted for shit heel turds could bring it up for the next decade as his failure

I know it’s a football first website but political parties don’t ‘tank’.

Give me strength….

Concerning.

It’s not all related to money

I have no idea why you do this. Everyone in the thread knows that the s**tstain Libs signed contracts for a project that had no support weeks out from caretaker in an election they were going to lose, out of spite. And then wrote a secret side letter to make the new government have to pay out a billion dollars of taxpayers money as political stunt.

You're an embodiment of the clown show that your party is.

It should be easy mode potting this tired, old government but you lot keep going down the Credlin line of foot shooting and moon barking. You really, really suck.

 

[eddiesmith]

It will amount to nothing because the government won’t cooperate. “Nobody deserves to know how my government completely ****ed up the costing of the Games”.

Plus his loyal little sheep will just dismiss it because it’s been 12 months and everyone has moved on…

NSW Labor minister Tim Crakanthorp forced to resign over alleged conflict of interest concerns

Premier Chris Minns requested the resignation, citing ‘a clear breach of the ministerial code’

Would IBAC have the powers to investigate a comparable issue down here?

Well, they didn't seem to be trying....

I think they're comfortable earning a very nice living doing bugger all on the opposition benches. Winning government would require they actually work.

The same reason you can't admit I've got huge muscles and a fat ol' hog: it's not true

Don’t sell yourself short mate
