One bloke on the Forum has an obsession with Andrews, and he doesn't even live in Victoria, having made four of the six posts on this discussion so far. Do I care if Andrews is returned, no, do I care if what's his name from the Liberals get up, no. I see some "gun nuts" have been masquerading as "independents", must have learned something from the last federal election, and now trying to cash in.

Dear Hasbeen,

How's it going old cock? Good?

The Victorian Police did not shoot anyone in the back during the lockdowns so why claim it.

As to Andrews if we had a halfway decent opposition I would have been tempted to help put Labor out for a term, primarily because of their increasing hubris and because I think it is healthy for our democracy.

But the Victorian Coalition are backward thinking, small minded, puffed up, bunch of incompetents of the highest order.

The difference between the NSW coalition is stark. Progressive policies on climate, on water theft, and on a number of other fronts keeps them in contention in their state but the Victorian mob is spouting policies from 2 decades ago. Hapless and hopeless is probably being kind.

Considering the over-the-top media pile-on over Andrews as far back as the bushfires and the constant foaming-at-the-mouth lies from the Murdoch press in particular, Andrews will certainly lose votes but that alone doesn't make the alternative automatically better.
However that's how "democracy" works nowadays.

From what I can see from NSW I would swap Andrews for our inept Premier "Dumb Perrotits" in a heartbeat.

Hi rache,

You only have to look at the public transport disaster in Sydney to realise what a "bunch of turkeys" are running the state, starting with the happy clapper bible bashing Dom the Dill. Down in Sydney last week, on Saturday a train trip from Penrith to Leppington via Grandville took us three and a half hours instead of the normal one hour. To "compensate" the Dill put on a week of free trains. They have privitised the bus network, the new operator has managed to reduce on time running efficiency from 97% under State Transit to 80%, they are now begging the government to allow them to introduce the Saturday timetable Monday to Friday, ridiculous. My son a bus driver himself tells me, drivers are leaving in droves, and they can't get new starters because of the reduced pay and conditions, he is constantly getting phone calls at 4am begging him to "please come in, we're desperate". Passenger abuse is at an all time high, as people wait for the bus running an hour late, or not turning up at all. The privatised Sydney Ferries are no better!

A little anecdote; Last week son gets a radio call as he is leaving Circular Quay; "You are running 17 minutes late!" Son said; "Yes I took a 2 minute toilet break to go for a piss, instead of the mandatory 5 minute minimum turn around time...YOU F/WIT!" End of conversation.

We now have two choices, we can vote for the government of Victoria from one Andrew, or we can watch a Bollywood movie in Hindi from another Andrew (see above post). given the two choices, watching the Bollywood movie is tempting.

Rache is back, still suffering Murdochphobia; there seems to be no cure for the disease. Is it a disease, though? Or is just another form of bigotry of the kind suffered by Andrews who calls everyone who doesn't fall under his spell Nazis, racists and anti-Semites.
