Vic Daniel Andrews and the Statue of Limitations

[peetoo]

jeff 'foot in mouth' kennett has weighed in ..... bit rich him criticising andrews given rumours about his 'character' and the post-political positions hes held

Hypocrisy seems to be a badge of honour on that side ‘retail politics’

 

[srobbo]

You probably can’t make this up.

It guess the cookers are right. He really is now Chairman Dan.

 

[Satan]

The Herald Sun can reveal Mr Andrews is set to earn $225,000 over his three-year term at Orygen, in addition to his pension, which costs Victorians more than $300,000 year

Wow

 

[Gralin]

So $75k a year for a board position?

Gotta say his pension is irrelevant to him getting paid for a job

These guys run in circles like that though

 

[QuietB]

Dan probably should have just taken a weapons job like all the others and helped bomb Palestinian's - then everyone could respect him

I know board member salaries elsewhere and does not pass the pub test at all. 75k for attending maybe 6-10 meetings in the whole year!

They don't give a **** about the pub test

There is no pub test

Private citizens has job

But not a 300k pension always…

Again irrelevant to the job he has

Getting paid to sit on the board of a not for profit is the real grifter stuff.

Well, the NFP reference brought up an idea. All NFP charities have to report to the Charity register with their financials.

I looked up Orygen

https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity/charities/b6597049-67c0-ec11-983e-000d3a6a8152/documents/

62 million turnover in 22-23 with about 20 million coming from Department of Health Victoria.

75k pa is cheap when you almost guarantee govt funding in tough times

This is what the Federal Inquiry into the Covid response said about the new Chair of Orygen:

“The 868-page commonwealth report handed down on Tuesday included evidence that Victoria’s approach to restrictions was haphazard, poorly explained and without adequate consideration of mental health – particularly among young people and children.”

It also found this:

“The delays in vaccine procurement and distribution, further complicated by concerns over serious side effects, ultimately affected the duration of the vaccine rollout and prolonged restrictive public health measures. The additional lockdowns that occurred as a result of these delays had a direct economic cost estimated at $31 billion,”

But I've always found that if you want to get a decent understanding of a public inquiry report or study in context it pays to read the full report, or at least the executive summary to get an understanding of the context of its conclusions.

As opposed to cutting and pasting single lines from tabloid newspaper reports cultivated and published purely for click bait party political effect.

Mistakes were made, many of them major mistakes, at all levels of government and all nations - reflective of the unique scale of the crisis and the manner in which it developed.

By far the most important and significant sections of the report, and its main focus, is to outline what needs to be done to prepare for the next pandemic to ensure those mistakes are not repeated. No surprises that the tabloids have given close to feck-all attention to this.

The full report is freely available here for those who want to really get an understanding of the issue, as opposed to those who continue to play cheap brain-dead politics.

This is a thread about Daniel Andrews not Covid. It pays to consider context instead of sniping

Did someone mention 'irony'?

 

[Sttew]

Did someone mention 'irony'?

Yes. Not sure what you consider ironic other than the obvious - (a) Andrews has been appointed Chair of a global youth mental health research organisation and (b) less than a fortnight after accepting the appointment a Commonwealth report singles him out for the impact HIS haphazard, ill conceived and poorly explained policies had on the mental health of children and teenagers during the COVID pandemic.

Are we really that shocked that a report into COVID found that it had poor mental health outcomes? Even the ABC was getting in on the act this morning, asking the Federal Health Minister if the Premiers should apologise to their constituents for how they managed the pandemic.

What an absolute load of rot...

Lots of NFPs going around. Just looked high compared to an NFP of only 62 million.

NFPs are big business. Think of Salvos, Vinnies, etc. you can look at their turnover at the ACNC website.
