Expert? He's speaking as a concerned citizen, no different to your "expert" BF rants . But carry on.

Eight Indonesians who refused to wear masks were forced to dig graves as punishment, and people get a justice boner. That's what the photo is about.

He does plenty thats purely for show. If you're truly interested, let me know and I'll find a few examples for you when I'm home.

again, when has he done something to that degree
you used "saying daily stats" as an example, on what ******* planet does saying daily stats come remotely close to digging up graves?
Because journos covering politics have no idea about politics...that’s probably more like it.
Chief commissioner Paton on the stand at the inquiry will be interesting listening.
Have you ever moved away from that view?
... the problem is it recurring ....
Thats what Political enthusiasts ALL do, nothing special for State or Feds, the enthusiasts on the WINGS with the same gameplan.
I listened to the first 3mins or so and he was all over the shop, hard to work out what he was trying to say/discuss.
He made no sense.
Don’t disagree with much of this.
His issue (and it seems par for the course with the Vic Labor Party) is that his government has repeatedly done things its own way, most notably on quarantine and contact tracing, and spectacularly bungled it.
I’ve noticed a lot of people saying we’d be in an even worse position if the Libs were in power. I guess we’ll never know for sure but it seems extremely unlikely - Vic is the worst performing state/territory on all counts by miles and it seems to be entirely off the back of Andrews’ inexplicable captain’s calls.
The opposition’s problem is that rather sitting back quietly and letting Labor implode, they have repeatedly taken an adversarial, contrarian position. It’s robbed them of credibility when they should be presenting as a viable alternative.
Labor has to clean the mess up and other states won’t open up to Vic until it’s under control so I guess we have to stay the course. I’m frankly expecting another major setback though.
I was initially behind Andrews but the more that emerges about hotel quarantine and the contact tracing debacle (which actually seems to be a far bigger scandal) the more inept he looks. I’d say he should go at the end, but I worry about what would replace him.
Andrews was elected with a majority in good faith to diligently lead Victoria through the good and the bad times. Along comes COVID and Cometh the Hour Cometh the Man.Our elected hero to lead us through this once in a lifetime crisis is still trying to work out who was in charge of quarantine and what happened to the ADF emails sent to his senior advisor and can't seem to pin point details of the curfew.
Liberals may not have the influence that Andrews has via his heavily taxpayer funded Social Media but if in power I have an inkling they would have used ADF after checking their emails from the PM and some basic knowledge of decisions made within their party.

Some of the journos are clearly well aware of the politics, e.g Ms Baxendale.
Looks like the ADF were available after all.
They were available and should have been used.
Whilst the ADF aren't prone to * ups (like in hotel quarantine yesterday in NSW and shooting unarmed civilians), they'd be more disciplined than security guards, who are your best source of debauchery in a nightclub.
Other options like Police (who are busy enough dealing with other s**t) and corrections officers (why are there hundreds of unemployed qualified corrections officers waiting for a pandemic?) are less desirable than the army who are literally employed for this s**t.
Perhaps a more pertinent question would did we (and continue to) fly people from virus riddled areas into highly populated areas such as Melbourne where one * up literally leads to a State of Disaster, when you could come up with an alternate solution in a low populous area and work out quarantining there? Looks like you can land and park any sort of plane in Alice Springs.

The Dept of Premier lawyer is grilling Graham Ashton atm very hard.
Nervous that this decision is leading to Neville and the Cabinet?

Followed by Glenn Trimble's take on the finer points of nuclear physics.
Going to be a pretty rusty old nail two years down the track. When Victorians fully appreciate:
1 How Dan resurrected and breathed life into the economy after the somnolent years of the hopeless Napthine;
2 Led the State through an unprecedented crisis achieving an outstanding result in quicker time than expected and in so doing had the guts to face the media daily remaining there until all questions were put and in the face of many attacks, some of a personal nature. And did it with grace and dignity. In contrast to the Conman-in-Chief who runs scared when questioned about matters like the Sports Rorts, incompetence of many on his front bench, and question marks on the probity of at least three of them while the weak the compliant mainstream media sit on their hands
3 How inept and slippery the present Victorian Leader of the Opposition is should he last the two years. And what a failure he was as Treasurer.
4 How inept his Shadow Ministry is as demonstrated when the treasury spokeswoman was interviewed on ABC Drive today and showed she was clearly out of her depth.
5 The Shadow Ministry is replete with failed ministers and absolute donkeys like Finn who is a laughing stock within his own Party.
