The Premier’s attack on the federal government, the hand that had so handsomely fed Victoria over those months, was a sign he’d finally collapsed under the weight of the economic and social disaster he was personally responsible for, writes Jeff Kennett.
On a personal level, I have empathy for the pressure Daniel Andrews must be feeling from public scrutiny during this pandemic but professionally, the Premier has failed Victorians on a massive scale and he must be held accountable, writes Jeff Kennett.
It is so often not the mismanagement of an issue that causes the most damage but the cover-up that follows. Maybe now the Victorian government’s response to its bungling of the hotel quarantine program will send Dan Andrews’ house of cards crashing down, writes Jeff Kennett.
Not satisfied with merely treating the Victorian population with disdain, Daniel Andrews has turned his attention to Jenny Mikakos in his most cold-hearted move yet, writes Jeff Kennett.
After much deliberation about who’s the best candidate for this year’s City of Melbourne mayoral race, it’s now clear Deputy Lord Mayor, Arron Wood is the person for the job, writes Jeff Kennett.
The doors must be flung open on cafes, restaurants and bars and the 5km limit on movement thrown out to get Victoria moving again and on the way to recovery, writes Jeff Kennett.
Regardless of whether you’re a monarchist or support Australia becoming a republic, there is no denying that Queen Elizabeth is a remarkable person and we should honour her while she still reigns, writes Jeff Kennett.
Jenny Mikakos was publicly supported by her Premier one day and speared through the heart the next. When a leader starts throwing his troops under the bus with gay abandon, you know he is in desperate trouble, writes Jeff Kennett.
In the wake of Daniel Andrews’ appearance at the hotel quarantine inquiry, former Victorian leaders John Brumby and Jeff Kennett have revealed their thoughts on the Premier’s ability to lead the state.
Our elected officials have caused death and destruction and massively increased Victoria’s debt but still no one owns up. Until our Premier accepts responsibility for his government’s failures, the state will continue to be forced into a social and economic abyss, writes Jeff Kennett.
