  24. The Labor right is back in power in Victoria. Where will its new ‘Kmart Keating’ premier take the state?
    By Benita Kolovos Victorian state correspondent

    Ben Carroll’s ascendance marks the first time the conservative faction has led the party since the Bracks – Brumby era

    theguardian.com/australia-news

    #Victorianpolitics #BenCarroll #Victoria #Australianews #JacintaAllan #Laborparty #TheGuardian #BenitaKolovosVictorianstatecorrespondent

  25. Aside from drawing a line in the sand on the #Corruption issue (a good thing), the new #Labor premier of Victoria has made the same lazy declarations that are made by #Clueless govts all over Australia:

    “Carroll is also pledging to be more pro-business and tougher on crime.”

    Business support and Tough on Crime, we’ve only been spared the BS on Immigration… and this is supposed to be a #Labor govt? So the rot has spread from #AlboPM ‘s federal #NeoLiberalism to #Victoria (It’s been ensconced in #NSW for years; alive and blundering along in #QLD).

    Goodness me folks, are we going to re-elect these dimwits to govt? Or are we really going to take the fight up to the major parties by voting anyone else but #labor and #LNP ? Nor, if I need to mention it, #PHON — we’re not THAT desperate.

    Who’s with me on this?
