Comm Games stuff-up, spend a billion.
EWL Cancellation, spend a billion.
difficulties with North East Link, spend 20 bn instead of 10bn.
Airport Rail - Sky high.
Many of the cost blowouts are due to not wanting to upset people.
Every infrastructure project was gold-plate, speed more important than value for money.
Money was no object in the development and delivery of transport projects, but there's no Integrated Transport Plan. They've done zero work to see if SRL is a better project than Metro 2. Who cares if $40bn is spent and $20bn of it is wasted if there's nothing to compare it to?/ What's $20bn when it captures some marginal seats?
I missed the bit where Kennett disputed the result of an election.
(He lost the 1999 election by 14 votes in Geelong, accepted the result gracefully and never exhibited any bitterness towards the voters or the man who vanquished him).

Labor’s popularity plunges as voters demand government tackle debt
Support for Jacinta Allan’s government has dropped to a primary vote of 28 per cent, sliding from 42 per cent under Daniel Andrews’ leadership about a year ago.
Looks like there will be hung upper houses (at least) for the foreseeable future, which I think is a good thing. Anything which takes away from a duopoly is a good thing. I don't like majority Governments at all. Just breeds Hubris.Resolve Vic State Poll

I’d be very surprised if state debt was a deciding factor
Pretty damning result for the libs given the incompetence and corruption of the Andrews/Allen government's is no longer being hidden. A properly run moderate liberal party would be more like 20 points ahead of the ALP.Resolve Vic State Poll

Small defined parties, such as the Shooters and Fishers, Animal Justice and Legalise Cannabis.
According to the polling, it seems the falling ALP votes is happening at the same time as people are unhappy with the budget and Tim Pallas' performance as Treasurer. I tend to agree with you as a primary source, but the broken promises (which they are clearly unhappy with) are being broken due to fiscal issues.
Its bloody grim isn’t it. How can you possibly be that bad still.

The LNP has 30 months to get its house in order, more than half a state political term.

I guess sitting in your castle in Canterbury you wouldn't be affected in any way by cuts.
I'd be very surprised if the debt issue has NOT finally cut through, and the Commonwealth Games debacle was the turning point when people realised this government has lost the plot with its lies and expenditure waste. The government is now in self preservation mode with more than half a term still to serve.

On the LNP 37...
As with other things, it would be unprecedented if the LNP won government with a primary vote that low. But the ALP is at 28... a different time, but when the ALP got crushed in 1992, their primary was 38.4.
But its higher than the 34.5 the LNP got at the last election or the 35.2 they got at the one before that.
The LNP needs to get that primary with a 4 in front of it to really be in the game, but the ALP 28, if replicated at an election, makes anything possible.
There hasn't been a lot of bad press or mistakes for Pesutto or the LNP lately. The apology to two of the ladies suing him went by in one media cycle, and I'm still confident Mrs Deeming's action never sees the inside of a court room. One of Pesutto's main threats in the party room is damaged by the Colac Health Amateur Theatre Hour, and the issues being discussed (debt, broken promises, etc) are good ground for the opposition.
I would say it is a good start but they need to keep playing mistake free football.

The big change is the rise of the independents. Labor is losing the primary not to the Liberals or Greens but to the smaller parties and independents.
We are entering the new era of politics where the major two no longer as major. There will be minority government more often than not.

Didn't both their primary votes drop dramatically at the last election? Labor was voted in with an increased majority but the seats it was holding with large margins were retained with dramatically reduced margins. LNP got nowhere since their primary tanked too.
The Allan government has walked back one of its most controversial tax policies on the same day a survey showed Labor would struggle to form a majority government if an election were held this month.
Treasurer Tim Pallas confirmed on Wednesday that health clinics would be granted a 12-month payroll tax amnesty for contractor GPs, even though he had insisted for more than a year that there had been no changes to Victoria’s tax system and a reprieve was not necessary.

Allan is further evidence that incompetence in government isn't a gender issue. Woman are just as incompetent as men.
Doesn't help her that Dan left her so many disasters to be discovered and funding shortfalls.

It probably should be Other 16% and Ind 6% which would closely match the last election when it was 12% and 5.5%. Others would be all the parties not the 4 main ones

She's personally responsible for the cost blow outs in infrastructure projects as the minister in charge. It would be easier to pay teachers, nurses and police officers more if multiple billions weren't going to the builders of the SRL and Tunnel
She is partially to blame and didn't do her job properly but it is pretty apparent that despite Dan's Sgt Schulz like "I know nothing" claims, he micro managed the government and is behind every failure in Victoria He should be remembered as a hard working, smart, corrupt, dishonest narcisstic gaslighter eg. the perfect modern politician.

Jacinta and Labor have to go
Will be a delight to send them packing.

There is an improvement in the LNP primary compared to the last two elections, so some of that Labor primary is clearly being lost to the LNP. But my point about it being sufficient for electoral success remains.
On the numbers in the poll, the ALP would be very close to losing their majority, with 8 seats falling to the LNP, and probably 3 to the Greens Party.
