Vic How would you rate Daniel Andrews' performance as Victorian Premier? - Part 7

[Kwality]

What sort of review would he prefer / does he want?

Does the academic review cover the education from home for our kids ?
Surely you jest ??
Nothing to see there @abcmelbourne

 

[The Punter]

Hardly surprising spin from Andrews - his response to reports from independent integrity agencies, such as the Auditor-General and the Ombudsman, has been "they are entitled to their view", as if their some guy waxing lyrical on an internet foru... you know what I mean.

 

[eddiesmith]

What sort of review would he prefer / does he want?

The reviews he pays for and gives the ‘independent’ reviewer the end result and tells them to write the report he wants.

Gotta love Australia, Pat Cummins can't have a say about who sponsors the side he leads but Twiggy Forrest gets an opinion on absolutely everything.

Cummins can have a say, when he stops playing cricket in India for fat dollars, until they do something about climate change.

How is that "independent"?

Our friend Mr Wylie (see the 3 or 4 posts above) was the one who "privatised" it in the first place.

 

[Hornberger]

How is that "independent"?

The review was conducted by people not connected to the Government, so it is clearly independent.

However, Independent is not a synonym for "unbiased" or "qualified to express an opinion".

The Ramsay Foundation is a well-known right-wing front in the culture wars against human progress

Would love a doctor on that panel. Someone to represent public health

paul ramsey foundation? ..... doesnt this fund the ramsey centre? .... a hard right academic circle jerk take on western civilisation?

There wasn't a single medical, epidemiological or scientific expert from a relevant field on the panel.

Also, look at the funding source. Like saying a study funded by the Koch foundation is "independent".

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

Crazy. What a smashing. Almost makes it strange that Dan the man isn’t out and about mingling with the public and celebrating his popularity.

Why?

He has a job to do.

 

[Romeoh1]

What sort of review would he prefer / does he want?

One with some actual experts would be a better start.
And further to that- it’s hard to fathom how these things would be measured at this point? How can one know in an unknowable situation?

It’s election time. Get out and about Daniel . I want to see it.

Just because you’re not seeing him, doesn’t mean he’s not out there. He did two public events today—- the SEC announcement in Melbourne and then a trip to Rochester.

Every day for the past week it seems that he’s done both a metro & a regional location each day—- while still working as the Premier of Victoria.

You have to remember that the government hasn’t gone into caretaker mode yet.

 

[hawkman]

There is probably fear that some nutcase would try and attack him if he was out and about often

Umm--- no it's not. the Government is still governing until the 1st November.

Thanks for posting that as it answered my question, I was thinking the other day what are the requirements for the government to spend the hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars they’ll need to spend throughout the caretaker period responding to the flood crisis as this will continue well beyond the election.

Seems reading that it’s more convention than any actual rules in place so shouldn’t be any issues.

I doubt billions will be signed away under caretaker conventions, especially with how East-West was handled back in 2014.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's an announcement late next week topping up the Flood Recovery program by another $x amount of dollars (prior to caretaker conventions starting) that will be used for short-term recovery bringing the impacted areas to a liveable state, then both major parties will announce specific electorate promises that will commence in December--- allowing the recovery costs become a 'soft' election topic to give positive headlines throughout November.
