Vic Daniel Andrews and the Statue of Limitations

[Pakenhamsaint]

What are the odds on Dan Andrews making a political comeback to save Labor between now and the 2026 Victorian election after the Age published a opinion poll which shows Labor's vote at 22%-which would wipe out Jacinta Allen's team in a landslide, equal to the 1992 election disaster?

Zero.

More chance of him admitting he was wrong than returning.

Besides, Allan got the poisoned chalice, Dan jumped and Allan is going down with the ship he crashed

Similar to what happened in 1990 when the late John Cain resigned over the Pyramid Building Society scandal (and Victoria's economic woes), the late Joan Kirner got the poisoned chalice and then got thrashed by Jeff Kennett's Coalition in 1992. The same thing could be happening again in 2026.

Danny is going to cost Labor dearly.
Thanks Dan.



ScoMo was forward thinking and just trying to save money in these cost of living frugal times.

Dan is long gone and mostly forgotten.

Albo will and the rightwing press may cost Albo.

But sure, if this is the delirious consolation prize you need to imagine up, to get some sort of peace of mind, then by all means.

 

[Fire]

Absolutely. Explain how Australia’s unaffordable house pricing can be laid at the feet of landlords...

Landlords use equity in existing properties to outbid owner occupiers, lifting up prices and increasing equity for them to leverage.

Skeletons in the closet

Question for the Qanon types still obsessed with Dan, he in prison yet, or charged with anything?

Shocked I tell you

had not been proposed by health experts, although they ultimately supported the move as a way to limit transmission of the virus.

 

[chickenonachain]

I absolutely hate Andrews and his sidekick Jacinta

Did they have a choice ?

Unless there is evidence to the contrary I'm inclined to say yes.

Do you remember the time Sutton publicly contradicted Dan on something and Dan shunned him?

 

[Not Important]

i'm sure that would upset them no end.

 

[Not Important]

and you'd be spot on.

 

[FIGJAM]

I don’t even care about the curfew decision specifically, but rather that it demonstrates that the “We will always listen to the health advice” ethos that was clearly not completely true.

Then when you analyse all of the other variables selected, you can see why the Andrews’ government’s hyper-conservatism as left us in such a financial hole.

Of course if you criticised some of the measures in here and recommended some more sensible tweaks, you were labelled a “cooker” by many in here.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Did they have a choice ?

yes, they could have told him that it wouldn't be helpful and that it wouldn't work

they didn't.

whether it was cost effective is a different question but not solvable (too many value judgements)

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

See this is the kind of big brained behaviour I think of when I see people litigating (whether Sutton really supported) the pandemic curfews in mid 2025.

I suppose we can add a segment of cladding below the Skyrail to the "more debt" basket. Cheers to the Libs and the company that's been subcontracted out for running these billboards.

Also a fine metaphor for the Coalition's approach to public transport in Victoria I guess.

 

[Chief]

the extreme lockdown measure had not been proposed by health experts, although they ultimately supported the move as a way to limit transmission of the virus

Oh. Surprise. Click bait.

 

[Chief]

Did they have a choice ?

What would have happened if they didn't?

These days, I think it went on too long. Many jurisdictions made many mistakes, but the conspiracy theories are just bonkers.

They would have been sacked like every other public servant who didn’t agree with a decision Dan made.

Let's assume that's true.

How many have come out NOW and said they did not agree, but were forced to agree under threat of losing their jobs?

Let's get some evidence on the table.

Well they like Brett, probably still work for the government so bit hard to do so…

It doesn't say they didn't listen to the health advice. It says the measure was proposed by the government and ultimately supported by the health experts.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

No I don't but that's not to say it didn't occur.

If a health expert in Sutton's position had the integrity I would hope someone in that role does then they should be standing by their position regardless of whether they think the politicians will be happy with it only not.

True, but it’s clear evidence, along with outdoor mask use, banning playground visits, painfully slow reopening measures and making people wear masks from tables in pubs to take a leak, that our government erred on the side of hyper-conservatism, no matter the source for the decision.

If only they were so conservative on securing the hotel quarantine!
