At least they're starting to tackle some of the insane Green stuff and I hear they are going through various positions and departments cleaning up some of the post-fem, crazies and so called "sustainability" crowed. Only rumors so far. God knows that there are a few in the education department. I used to work for the state government. So, that opinion is based on my own experience. <br /><br />This government appears to be approaching change/reform very cautiously, most of us would like a faster pace but lets not forget who was there previously and the mess that was left. <br /><br />One thing I really liked was the change to or clean up of some of the inconsistencies in the firearms act. Something, which directly impacts me, being a gun loving, atheist, libertarian (I'm sure my IP address will now be tracked) No other government would have even touched it, but the Baillieu government did.<br /><br />That, at least, is my vote well spent.Ivannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-19346972836831853572012-04-03T12:44:21.787+10:002012-04-03T12:44:21.787+10:00Regarding Mr. George's evangelising, and Numbe...Regarding Mr. George's evangelising, and Number's dissembling, I say let them continue.

However while Ted retains draconian groupthink policies which cause Victorians embarrassment when speaking in other states, then I would be a delinquent neighbour not to comment.<br /><br />Case in point: Last year the Q-Society brought the American anti-Jihad campaigner, Robert Spencer, to Australia for a speaking tour. I attended his presentation in Perth, but before he was able to deliver his speech, Vickie Janson of the Q-Society had to deliver a lengthy legal disclaimer to avoid prosecution in Victoria for having the audacity to speak truthfully. Even though the speech was being delivered in Perth (and other state capitals), the lengthy legal disclaimer was necessary as the Q-Society is incorporated in Victoria, and is therefore subject to Victoria’s draconian groupthink laws.<br /><br />As Ms. Janson is pleasing to both eye and ear, I didn’t feel too put out by this lengthy preamble, but someone should take Ted to the side and tell him that he doesn’t have to continue wearing the same underpants and wellington boots as his predecessor in office. If Ted does nothing else other than remove this enforced groupthink legislation in his first term, and its attendant embarrassment when Victorians are interstate, then Victoria would have rejoined the rest of Australia with regards to open and free speech.<br /><br />A video of this legal disclaimer can be found here - http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/01/robert-spencer-speaking-in-perth-australia-november-27-2011.html<br /><br />The HesperianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-58583940901276051252012-04-03T08:31:39.028+10:002012-04-03T08:31:39.028+10:00While we're being all gung ho and non-Baillieu...While we're being all gung ho and non-Baillieu, may I suggest to the Prof. that "numbers" be no longer indulged here?

A majority of one has given them the choice of working hard to dismantle Labors mess or sitting around doing nothing and hoping that they will get a bigger majority at the next election. I don't understand why they chose option two. It makes them appear to stand for nothing and have no agenda, but then again maybe that's how it is. <br /><br />If they had begun to dismantle Labors pile of crap at least they would have something to take to the next election however it seems that is not going to happen now. They had a great chance to get rid of the charter of human rights, Ted did nothing. He is either a Labor Manchurian candidate or he is just there for the ride, I can't decide which.sfwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592447707671698816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-506106992027087792012-04-02T23:43:18.329+10:002012-04-02T23:43:18.329+10:00Phil, I don't mind your speculations at all. ...Phil, I don't mind your speculations at all.
