Jeff Kennett today predicts a Victorian election boil over:
Four years ago the ALP was fraudulently using public moneys for its own electoral purposes — the Red Shirts Affair — and then spent voters’ money trying to stop it becoming public. Recently we saw Premier Daniel Andrews refuse to allow the 21 MPs, including six ministers, be interviewed by police over the scam, having previously said that everyone would co-operate.
The Andrews government recently signed a secret Belt and Road Initiative agreement with the Chinese. It was kept dark for political purpose.
Then there are other public policy issues that are in plain sight — the tearing up of the East West contract at a cost of $1.2 billion, the continuing attack on the volunteer CFA fire brigade, the destruction of the taxi industry. The list goes on…Then on Friday we had another act of violence and death on the streets of Melbourne. The city lost Sisto Malaspina, the heart and soul of the iconic Pellegrini’s restaurant and one of our great characters.
Somehow Mr Kennett manages to overlook the number one issue in Melbourne – mass immigration crush-loading – but he may be right and Labor will get the boot. Then again, this may be “Kennett curse”.
They certainly deserve it. Dirty Dan and Ponzi Pallas have done very little to deal with the state’s problems.
