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

[adogsfan5]

Could be worse, I could have a weird and unhealthy infatuation with a politician

Nobody will ever beat this level of unhealthy.

Anyone who is loyal to a single party while ignoring all else is cooked.

3000 days officially. Bring on the colossus of Dan.


Even with Lobster Guy gone, the Libs aren't making a dent. Chalk up a couple more seats where they'd be getting supplanted by the Greens as the main opposition.

ALP: 41 (+4)
L/NP: 30 (-4)
GRN: 13 (+1)

Support for Daniel Andrews rises as he marks 3000 days in office

Labor’s primary vote has increased by 4 percentage points to 41, up from 37 per cent at the state election just three months ago.

Ah, so LNP being 3 parties solves this?

Rachel Baxendale is just dim enough to think she's interviewing a real person. Let's hope the statue gives her as much as the real article does in response to her stupid questions.

Note the comments made by Daniel Andrews in regards to the statue commemorating his 3000 days in office.

Andrews said that it will be up to the 'next premier' to decide if a statue is necessary to mark the achievement.

'Next Premier'? Does that mean that Andrews is starting to think about his retirement and making Jancinta Allen as his successor?

I’ve heard recently from a reliable source that Andrews has no intention to step aside. He doesn’t know what the medium to long term future will hold but there’s certainly no plan to step aside mid-term.

Seeing just how bad the Victorian Liberals are right now, if there was a time machine, which past Liberal identity (ie Menzies, Holt, Fraser, Howard etc)-whether from state or federal level-would've given Daniel Andrews a much tougher challenge than what we saw from Matthew Guy in last year's state election?

I’m not so sure any of them would have been competitive. Traditional Liberal ideology is virtually dead and the great Liberal leaders of the past would largely be seen as dinosaurs today.

Even though Daniel Andrews was lucky he didn't have any leadership challenge or spill to deal with (so far), that won't be the case with Jacinta Allen. Allen has better start looking over her back once she is sworn in as the new Premier, because there'll be dozens of Labor backbenchers who will make life difficult for her from day 1 of her premiership. And she won't have the safety net of Daniel Andrews to fall back on.

Because that is the process

But I doubt you will understand anyway

She does struggle with geography it seems.

Classic Andrews in QT today. Pearson getting grilled by his CommBank Shares (another notch on the "by NSW standards you'd be gone" belt), and the final question was "who signed the contract". As Pearson got up to the dispatch box, Andrews says "the relevant official", basically ordering Pearson to not give the parliament a name.

You can be for transparency, and you can be for Daniel Andrews, but you can't be for both at the same time.

And, under the subject of the standard you walk past...

I'd argue that no politician is transparent so that's just teeth gnashing mate.

The sledge is a ripper but you can't really get away with it these days.

He's getting away with it because he wants to. The "they're all the same" mud sticks, despite the fact that only Kennett can rival Andrews historically in Victoria in "treatment of political institutions". As I have said before with regards to Mr Andrews, John Cain Jnr he ain't.

Agree with that and sure, the old "they are all the same" trope is a massive copout.

But the Libs need to find someone who is "transparent" because until they do, they can't exactly use Andrews' apparent secrecy against him. The one thing I will say in Andrews' defense is that at least he gets things done. He's as corrupt as all hell but with him in charge I can see the progress this state is making.

The other mob, well I have seen nothing from them at all, not since Kennett anyway. And his legacy is the sale of every state asset he could get his hands on. Much like the grossly overrated John Howard.

its fair to say andrews has copped more than his fair share of sledges from the other side over the journey (more so than any other victorian pollie than i can think of - kennett included) .... if you dish it out then be prepared to cop it

moira deeming has hit the ground running with her maiden parliamentary speech ..... bernie finn looks relatively sane compared with this nutter
