Vic Daniel Andrews and the Statue of Limitations

[PT Bar None]

Bloke with a microphone and leg tats at Southbank yesterday with a crowd of none railing against "the Andrews Government" saying something about the rise in road toll.

Needs to update his material

Talking of freedoms and the end of lockdowns?

 

[Romeoh1]

Were that the case and he becomes POTUS once again it's fair game. But in the interim the obsession with him has been biblical and very unhealthy, especially seeing as there are 18 instalments of him.

If Dan has 18 threads dedicated and posters obsessing over him I too would find it unhealthy.

Ah well- okay, maybe some people are too obsessed with him but happy to disagree that he doesn’t warrant discussion. He’s contributed greatly to big and unhealthy changes affecting America now-and that are ongoing.

Apparently Dan Andrews ran over a school bus full of children in a monster truck. True story!

i'm more of a fan of the khmer rogue actually, they got things done!

you're right though maybe i should listen to yeonmi park, she's a very reliable, honest and trustworhy person!

That better be a pisstake.

Just ask the families of those relatives were brutally murdered or forcibly separated by the Khmer Rouge about what life was like under that regime.

That ITV doco on the Cambodian show that attempts to reunite families forcibly separated by the Khmer Rouge remains one of the hardest things I've watched.



Communism and Marxist-Leninism has no place in modern day society.

Andrews ran a centralised government with him being the decision maker.


This is pretty much accepted as fact but somehow Dan wants everyone to believe that he inexplicably an out of character delegated one of the biggest and most important decisions during the pandemic, the management of quarantine, and miraculous nobody in the Labor party can recall who the incompetent fool who decided to hire cheap unqualified staff was.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Contracting out has been de facto for many years. Police and army do it.

The question should be why did no one think it was special enough to bring in house.

And who decided there was no longer a need for purpose built medical quarantine facility seperate from….other sick people who are more immune

The EBA is not the reason there is a teacher shortage.

It certainly doesn't help. The EBA has necessitated an increase in teaching staff across the state (public and non-government) that there was never going to be supply for.

yes but its not the reason the education system is struggling

The new EBA was meant to address teacher workload, which is one of the main reasons why:
a) teaching was unattractive to enter into as a career in the first place
b) alleviate teacher burnout which caused many young teachers to leave the career within their first five years of teaching.

Finishing off strong.

Retires undefeated, buh bye to all the haters and losers.

He was defeated by a set of stairs and world renowned investigative journalist Luke 'Darce' Darcy.

The stairs didn't kill him. As assassins go, the stairs failed. And Darce would make a very poor assassin indeed. Stick to special comments, Darce!

Dan Andrews is a grub like Alan Joice, implements unlawful acts and then jump ships for the people to pick up the pieces.

High Court rules against Victoria's electric-car road-user tax in landmark case

A landmark judgement from the High Court has ruled the State of Victoria was in breach of the constitution by imposing a distance-based tax on plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles.

implements unlawful acts

You still don't understand how law making and the constitution work, dude.

 

[Festerz]

You still don't understand how law making and the constitution work, dude.

Nor do they understand that EVERY state government was looking at implementing a similar proposal so that the EV owners could bear a similar responsibility for road construction and repairs that is borne by owners of petrol powered vehicles via the fuel excise tax - funding from which is rapidly declining due to the uptake of EVs (primarily amongst the wealthy).



Now those road transport and maintenance costs have to be made up somewhere else - either by increased registration charges for all vehicles; increasing the fuel excise for non- EV vehicles; or - most likely and more equitably - the Commonwealth Government implementing an EV usage tax at the Federal level (which is in line with the Constitution) and transferring the revenue gained back to the states as happens with the petrol excise currently (the matter will most probably be referred to the ACCC for analysis and advice and taken to National Cabinet for agreement).

BTW the FIRST State to pass legislation to implement an EV usage charge was the South Australian LIBERAL government of Steven Marshall back in 2020. It was the new Malinauskas Labor government that repealed the tax earlier this year.

South Australia axes its EV tax.

50 years ago, the High Court said this type of tax is legal, so it was legal when the Vic Parliament passed it.
Now the High Court has changed its mind.

Revenue fight between state and federal.
Feds collect fuel excise now which is a distance based tax.

Then make the states beg for money to you know…fix the actual roads as part of transport and planning infrastructure.

Should go direct to states. Constitution says feds can impose distance tax, but they would need state systems to collect it?

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Hopefully the federal government implements a distance-based road charge for EVs if the states aren't entitled to collect the revenue directly. I have never seen an argument for EV owners to receive subsidies for their choice (i.e. middle class welfare by any other name) that doesn't feature at it's core "I want free shit". Money would be better spent on the bus network so people don't have to drive to the train station.

Andrews tried to be too clever there and attempted to beat the Feds.

You would have to think some sort of EV user charge will be implemented once the fuel excise starts falling.

 

[peetoo]

For sure the constitution wasn’t very far sighted here. Feds don’t maintain infrastructure they dole the money out to states

Surely the transport and planning needs to be as local as possible, including the means to pay for it

Looking forward to his comeback in three years once he’s refreshed and ‘right to go’

Don't think he'll come back to Vic politics. If Labor gets smashed in the 2025 federal election, expect Labor representatives make approaches to Daniel Andrews to see if he would make a tilt at a federal seat in Victoria, with an eye to having Andrews replace Anthony Albanese as the new Labor leader.
