Perhaps they should erect a statue of Chairman Dan in Glasgow who are going to be hosting the Commonwealth Games using money gifted to them by a true incompetent Victorian Government.

Then again Andrews was able to use the promise of the games to win an election so in the Labor mind wasting half a billion dollars of taxpayer money to get an electoral advantage is money well spent.

Alternatively they could have a statue of Victorian police shooting on peaceful protestors to memorialise Dan's status as the first politician in living memory to order his forces to fire on fellow citizens. A proud heritage.

mhaze,

No matter how much you beg, we're not moving that life size Fuhrer statue of yours, from your front garden next to the new one of Chairman Dan. Although a statue of Chairman Dan standing between the Fuhrer and Comrade Stalin might seem appropriate to a lot of people.

Dear Paul,

We've certainly had a wide mix of various leaders in this
country. Our family has always voted Liberal. They loved
Robert Menzies because of his staunch anti-communism
stance.

I've admired Malcolm Fraser, John Hewson, and Malcolm Turnbull.
Bob Hawke. Then there's Julie Bishop, Penny Wong, and in
Victoria - there was Steve Bracks. To name just a few.

I feel that in this country we've always had stability
as far as our governments are concerned. Voters like it
that way - and choose not to give much support to
extremists or radicals. Voters usually get it right in
the end.

We have much to be thankful for.

I watched "60 Minutes" last night on the attempted
assassination attempts on Trump in the US - where guns
are so easily available. John Howard did the right thing
in implementing stronger gun control laws here. The US
has serious issues to deal with. Our political systems
have kept us safe thus far.

"I watched "60 Minutes" last night "

Perhaps you should have also flicked over to the Spotlight programme which covered the drug gangland wars that have taken so many lives including innocent by-standers.

It seems these gangs have no trouble getting guns despite having them banned in Australia. Truly it is said that if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.

Still there is an upside. At least when fascist-lite leaders like Chairman Dan orders his police to fire on peaceful protestors he can do it in the knowledge that no-one will be able to fire back.

" Our political systems
have kept us safe thus far."

Keeping us free on the other hand, not so much. But too many are prepared to surrender liberty for safety. What they fail to realise from history is that, when you do that, you end up with neither safety nor freedom.
