Here is an opportunity for all you Dan Andrews supporters to get behind Dan for his handling of COVID 19 in Victoria. Just think if thousands died in Victoria due to his government's hotel quarantining and tracing of positives, rather than hundreds , these fools would probably want a statue erected in his honor somewhere in the Melbourne CBD.

Perhaps we could also start a thread about the last Liberal/Country Party Government in Victoria.  You know, the one that lasted a single term because voters took about five minutes to realize the State was being run by friends of dodgy developers and career criminals who had no thought for anyone other than their own entrenched self interest.

In May 2019 the Andrews government predicted  net debt to reach $54.9 billion by 2022-23 and that was 12 months ago, before COVID 19 .

OMG what will Victorian taxpayers be  looking down the barrel in 2023-24, 2024-25 or even 2031-32.

People not yet born will be paying for off this ALP government's debt and by then Dan will be living off his parliamentary pension. Shame, shame.

The recent declaration of a state of disaster by the Victorian Government has extended the coronavirus crisis. A health crisis generated an economic crisis. The second shutdown then generated a financial crisis for Victoria

A brutal fall in state economic activity, officially known as gross state product (GSP), is likely. The Victorian Chamber of Industry and Commerce has stated that thousands of businesses will close or transfer to other states. A 3.5% contraction in both 2020 and 2021 is expected as businesses fail or move and an additional 250,000 Victorians join the ranks of the unemployed, effectively doubling Victoria’s jobless rate to 13%.

State government revenue, comprising taxation and Commonwealth grants, is expected to fall by $7.0 billion, or 10%, in 2020/2021. Expenditures will increase by an estimated 5% through additional medical, hospital and coronavirus-related costs. Emergency funds of $24 billion have been set aside for the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 years. Then there are the consequence of business failures, higher numbers of unemployed along with demands for higher public service salaries. Budget deficits of $12 billion or higher are projected for the next two years.

Net debt was $29.3 billion in Victoria at 1 July 2019. In the 2019/2020 budget, net debt was expected to increase to $69 billion over the next three years. It is now projected to increase to $100 billion over this period.

I am not concerned with discretionary spending, it’s the extra taxes that are coming. Land tax on your principal residence as well as the existing municipal rates. Motor registration, state fuel tax, tollways, etc ,who knows what tax hike they will come up with that Joe Blow cannot change his lifestyle to avoid.

To be fair Baghdad Victoria has always been a disaster. Maybe that should say "more of a disaster". It does seem very unfair though not allowing the citizens down there to escape to the northern states as they normally are able too.

Barbara of Eaglemont: ‘Watched the football last night.

'Saw better handballing at the premier’s conference this morning.’

Do the 19th century's reasons for creation of separate states still apply?

Wasn't it anyway just a temporary compromise to allay fears of centralism?

Now we have anarchy and over-government at the same time.

So many levels of government all countermanding each other.

Schmozzle and debt and a dog’s breakfast.

Everyone passing the buck and handballing around

and then claiming to be and being seen to be a strong leader.

But just creating scrimmage and a serial balls-up.

One of the many blessings of Little Mizz Shutdown

might be the reductio ad absurdum expose of the foibles of federalism.

Perhaps giving rise to a broad consensus and basis for an accord.

Maybe we can all agree on something!

Buckpasser! Not a good name for a leader.

Though it mightn't be a bad name for a horse, waddeyesay?

As some women are apt to say, "I love a man with a plan". The risk of a pandemic such as we have, was predicted by experts for a long time, and as such, contingency plans should have been in place at all levels of govt. I doubt a properly prepared plan would have had people laid off from travel agency employment, being re-purposed as security people, or contact tracers.

The decision not to fine members of the five households who broke coronavirus restrictions by visiting each other when infectious is the right decision, Mr Andrews said.

“I will concede this might be a counterintuitive point and perhaps we would all feel better if they got stuck with a fine, but the value of information that allows you to take one test result and identify the 33 other people who have got it, is much more than $1652,” he said.

“I think that if you start [fining positive cases], you run the very real risk that people are not full and frank in the interviews, or indeed some people may not come forward and get tested, if they fear that they can’t do that in an open process.

“If we were to try and do a kind of retro-analysis of every one of the now close to 20,000 interviews that we have done, through the course of those interviews, many, many people in many different ways will have essentially admitted to doing certain things, and it is about trying to balance up.

“We might all feel better if those five families got a fine, but ultimately the value of the fine is nothing compared to the value of the information that they give us.”

Prof Sutton said the cluster linked to the five households in the Casey area was “under control” but could still grow.

Anyone want to offer an opinion on the ethnicity  of those people?

I can tell you they are not white Anglo -Saxons.

What a hypocrite Andrews is not fining these people. Talk about double standards! No wonder people have no respect for him and are flouting the rules. Dan has politicised this pandemic big time. His first thought is “do these people vote labor?”. No fines for BLM protesters but riot shields handcuffs and arrests for the anti lockdown protesters because they clearly are not fans of the government. If you sit on a park bench, stray outside the 5k zone you get fined but if you have the virus and spread it among other families that you shouldn’t be visiting anyway then no problem.

bc, this part of an article written on the front page of Melbourne's Herald Sun this morning...

“Labor’s double standards are as toxic as this virus.

“This is the same Andrews hypocrisy that saw teenagers fined for learning to drive while 10,000 Black Lives Matter protesters were ignored.

“Victorians have lost confidence in Andrews and Labor. “The double standards they apply show they govern for their friends, not for all Victorians.” On Saturday, Mr Andrews defended a decision to not fine 34 people, largely from the Afghan community in Casey, who spread the virus after breaching rules that banned them from visiting other family members’ homes"

No reference there to "ethnic groups" as you will get in The Age newspaper to appease left apologists , but factual reporting by The Herald Sun without fear or favour.

PT, Dan is the beneficiary of the “Stockholm Syndrome”. Back in the 1973 a bank in Stockholm was held up and staff at the bank were kept as hostages by their armed captors for a week. After that period of time the hostages feared the armed police trying to save them than their armed captors. The Syndrome is psychological response where those hostages developed a connection to their captors over a period of time of days, weeks , months or even years.You may remember how Patty Hearst , the newspaper heiress, who was kidnapped in 1974 by militants, yet after a period of time became subject to that same psychological response and joined up with those militants and robbed a bank.

Does that sound familiar with what is going on Victoria right now ?

Presently the virus is a “ business issue” not a “ household issue” , rusted on ALP supporters will always back Dan, those in the public service are still on full pay, both Jobseeker & JobSearch are propping up many underemployed or unemployed, that is a huge percentage of the population and further as each day passes less people are catching the virus. All of those factors are contributing the Dan’s supposed popularity, however once Jobseeker & JobSearch are cut back at the end of September, you know what will hit the fan and people will realise how Dan and his hopeless government have botched up the hotel quarantine and tracing popularity will plummet like a brick in a swimming pool.

That is just nonsense.

First you say, the only reason Dan has support, is due to Stockholm syndrome.
Which is just bat sh1t crazy.

Then you go on to say, when government handouts that cease this month, everyone will see the light and hate him.

They are mutually exclusive.

I wonder if Dan has ever bothered to find out why the "Experts " say we can eat half raw Beef and Fish but not Chicken or Pork.

      It's like me never agreeing with Rusty , PT , Marble or Afros .

It avoids all of us being wrong.    ( Think about it )

Rusty, I may not have made myself clear in your mind. Dan’s supposed popularity is a combination of all of those factors, not one or two , but all in different degrees.
Many people are still receiving welfare equal to their income prior to the virus, however businesses are going broke by the day, once that welfare ceases people will be in the same situation as those businesses...they will default on mortgages, struggle to buy food, you name it.
Don’t worry Dan’s popularity is a statistical anomaly.

Election day is the only one that counts in terms of popularity & by that time, Victoria will still be in an almighty mess. However, the 'other' mob will need to get their act togther to be any sort of viable alternative Confused

Some of those 62% of Dan supporters believe Dan has done a good job, reducing positives down from the 700s to the teens today that is the psychological connection to that Stockholm Syndrome , but we all know where those 700s started don’t we ?

Don't forget the majority at this time are on the good end of the stick ... Pensioners getting $1500 handouts , dole people never seen the pocket so full , subsidised Brothels < Unlimited Toilet paper , Bottle shops thriving, No evictions , and the Government is handing it out by the trillions .

      NOTHING IS FOREVER

The Brick wall is just around the Corner.

Bank Foreclosures by the thousands --- Repossions by the millions .... No money for food , Rents ,    Mum and the Kids sleeping out ...NO jobs .NO businesses,           .   The Virus will be welcomed in most households.

Victorian ALP Government support now 51.5% would win a close election with L-NP on 48.5%


In Victoria support for the ALP is now at 51.5% compared to the L-NP on 48.5% on a two-party preferred basis according to a special Roy Morgan SMS survey on Victorian voting intention with a cross-section of 1,147 Victorian electors aged 18+ over the last few days.

The two-party preferred support for the ALP has dropped a significant 5.8% points since the 2018 Victorian State Election while L-NP support is up 5.8% points.

Today’s Roy Morgan Poll on Victorian voting intention shows that if a Victorian Election were held today the ALP would be returned with a narrow majority for a third term of Government.


Primary Vote for ALP plunges since 2018 State Election

Primary support for the ALP is now at 37%, down 5.9% points since the 2018 Victorian State Election and now behind the L-NP on 38.5% (up 3.3% points).

Support for the Greens is up slightly to 12% (up 1.3% points) while support for Other Parties has increased to 8.5% (up 3.4% points). A further 4% of Victorians are now supporting Independent candidates, down 2.1% points from the 2018 Victorian State Election.


Two-Party Preferred support splits by Region & Gender

Two clear splits have emerged in Victoria with city-dwellers in Melbourne and women supporting the ALP on a two-party preferred basis while Country Victorians and men are more likely to support the L-NP.

Women clearly favour the ALP on a two-party preferred basis with support at 57% compared to only 43% for the L-NP. In contrast a majority of 53.5% of men support the L-NP compared to 46.5% supporting the ALP.

Melburnians (who comprise the bulk of the population of Victoria) favour the ALP on a two-party preferred basis with support of 53.5% compared to 46.5% for the L-NP while in Country Victoria support for the L-NP is at 55% compared to only 45% for the ALP.

This special Roy Morgan Snap SMS survey was conducted with a Victoria-wide cross-section of 1,147 Victorian electors aged 18+ conducted on Tuesday September 15 – Thursday September 17, 2020.


Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine says the ALP would still be the favourite if a Victorian State Election were held today although support for the L-NP has risen substantially since 2018:

“The Second Wave of COVID-19 in Victoria has led to a tightening between the two major parties with the ALP on 51.5% only narrowly ahead of the L-NP on 48.5% on a two-party preferred basis in mid-September.

“ALP support has dropped substantially since the 2018 Victorian State Election with primary support down nearly 6% points to 37%. This support has flowed to several parties including the Opposition L-NP, up 3.3% points to 38.5%, the Greens, up 1.3% points to 12% and Other Parties up 3.4% points to 8.5%.

“However, the big split that has emerged is between the genders and between Melbourne and Country Victoria. The ALP retains big leads amongst women (57% cf. 43%) and in Melbourne (53.5% cf. 46.5%), but the L-NP is now well ahead with men (53.5% cf. 46.5%) and in Country Victoria (55% cf. 45%).

“As Victoria (hopefully) emerges from the Second Wave of COVID-19 in the next couple of months the big issues will revolve around supporting businesses and re-booting the Victorian economy and providing jobs for the hundreds of thousands of Victorians now looking for new work.

“The next two years presents a huge test for the ALP to rebuild it’s credibility after the devastating impact of the second wave of COVID-19 following mis-steps in the Victorian hotel quarantine program for returned travellers and inadequate contact tracing and testing in Victoria compared to its counterpart in New South Wales.”


Victorian electors were asked: "If a State Election for Victoria were being held today — which party would receive your first preference?"

PT, Dan is the beneficiary of the “Stockholm Syndrome”. Back in the 1973 a bank in Stockholm was held up and staff at the bank were kept as hostages by their armed captors for a week. After that period of time the hostages feared the armed police trying to save them than their armed captors. The Syndrome is psychological response where those hostages developed a connection to their captors over a period of time of days, weeks , months or even years.You may remember how Patty Hearst , the newspaper heiress, who was kidnapped in 1974 by militants, yet after a period of time became subject to that same psychological response and joined up with those militants and robbed a bank.

Does that sound familiar with what is going on Victoria right now ?

Presently the virus is a “ business issue” not a “ household issue” , rusted on ALP supporters will always back Dan, those in the public service are still on full pay, both Jobseeker & JobSearch are propping up many underemployed or unemployed, that is a huge percentage of the population and further as each day passes less people are catching the virus. All of those factors are contributing the Dan’s supposed popularity, however once Jobseeker & JobSearch are cut back at the end of September, you know what will hit the fan and people will realise how Dan and his hopeless government have botched up the hotel quarantine and tracing popularity will plummet like a brick in a swimming pool.

Bob, we don't need a history leson from you, most know about stokholm syndrom , if they dont they can google it Confused

By the way isnt Dan doing a great job, only 14 new cases tody Clap

SC, do you have any thoughts on people who constantly intentionally misspell words for some reason only known to themselves.
