Criminal charges have been dropped, but surely there's a case for civil action.

That's what happens when you appoint civil liberties lawyers as Magistrates

Spending cuts. I would accept some cuts to other metro hospitals to bring them down to the level that my hospital is at. That would make me happy (yes I am very dark and twisted)

It will be interesting to see where though. Infrastructure and hospitals will be the last places to see cuts.
Last week it was announced Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission was getting cuts
Public servants brace for job cuts as Andrews prioritises Big Build
The budget razor is coming for Victoria’s human rights agency, where job cuts loom while the government looks to shore up its infrastructure programs.

I think there will be near-zero new infrastructure commitments. With NEL already committed and resources stretched to capacity (LXRP, WGTP, NELP, Metro still going), there's no real need for additional funding of infrastructure. If you were hoping for a new road or rail upgrade not yet funded, I'd stop holding my breath.It will be interesting to see where though. Infrastructure and hospitals will be the last places to see cuts.

No chance they cut health. But it's the first budget after an election landslide and with interest rate increases, I think there'll be a fair bit of cutting across the board.
I wouldn't be surprised to see quite a big slash and burn budget and Andrews and Pallas phase themselves out over the next 2 years and let Jacinta Allan release the good news budgets in 2025 and 2026 election promises before the 2026 election. I reckon Andrews will cut the ribbon on Melbourne Metro and then bow-out.

When i mean no infrastructure cuts, I doubt they will be winding back level crossing removals given it has been one of their signature policies. New projects probably on the backburner though
I'm sure the cuts will be widespread while also plenty of comments about fair access to GST to pass the blame onto the feds
We’re ****ed then
But it’ll be interesting to see how he cuts spending whilst going ahead with his 100 billion+
This is not quite correct. Or at least in so much as it ignores the pendulum of late 19th century, through 20th century Victorian politics.
Victoria was the home of the labour movement in Australia, one of the first places in the world to champion and have widespread organising on behalf of the working class.
It was the home of Australia's industrial base, of education and Australian socialism. These things cane before the stunted social revanchism of the mid 20th century.

No way. This can't be real.
Normal first budget.
This is the default for Australian politics.
Early in a term you show fiscal restraint, later comes spending commitments. Anyway, isn't this what the anti-Andrews crowd have wanted?
Bro, this is an age old political trap. I honestly don't get why people like you bite.
Let unfriendly media embelish or spruik the worst, let the foamers foam and deliver a budget that is restrained but still improves on the necessities. See Albanese/the new Labor government.
Everyone but the cranks feel relieved and they themselves end up losing credibility. Both parties do it to some degree, except the odd true believer like Abbott. Regardless, no one announces painful cuts to programs like this, particularly the Libs, those tend to be done by stealth.

Wait, I misread.
Thought you meant to legalise cannabis and pass the proposed Redlich changes.
You were referring to the legalise cannabis peeps. Well I guess that's one positive, but he's still opposed to drug reform I guess.
I know the first thing he’ll cut funding to, but luckily for Victorians Albo has solved the climate crisis so bushfires should no longer be a threat so no need for a rural fire service.

Quite remarkable for someone who joined up 15 months after I made that post…
I thought you moved interstate.

Predicted both of these things. Legalisation of cannabis is bound to happen, since one of the parties holding the balance is just for that.
And the changes to IBAC are just what Redlich asked for (making oversight independent of Govt, as it should have been in the first place, but we all know Baillieu had good intentions.)
Now the Libs are frothing at the Greens that they don't get to run an investigation into nothing just to say that they're having an investigation and to give their MLAs and MLCs something to do other than attend rallies with nazis and then fight with each other about who is a nazi and who isn't.
What the Libs are really upset about is that they're irrelevant except to watch them eat each others' young.

I can’t see what charges they’d face for the weekend given the actions in the below article were thrown out by a magistrate as not even being criminal…
