The Victorian budget might be in the red but I’m sure the CCCP would be willing to lend a hand!!!

If memory serves, Communist countries in the past required athletes to submit their bodies to hormone "embellishments", performance enhansing cocktails - a la russian olympic team doping and chinese swimmers with gargantuan shoulders!

The Doggey Dan approach may mean his marching the Diamonds down to the CBD "safe" injecting room for an "effective" treatment, so he can ensure his $15m investment [our money] results in a "sure fire dividend" Dan's free lunches need to be treated with caution.

So trus. Sport really is in a parlous state as they seem to sell their souls to the mighty dollar. I void sport at all costs more and more. Can we go back to when sport was fun, a pastime to keep people fit and was harmless entertainment? Bring back the time when sports people had to have real jobs and kept things in perspective.

Thank you James. Through your excellent writing, you have, yet again, successfully made my blood reach boiling point with anger towards that wicked man, Daniel Andrews, scum of the earth! Grrrrr! 😡

His smirking face makes my skin crawl. Hopefully the Victorians have woken up and turf him and his party out at the next election !!

Dear James, you have echoed my sentiments perfectly. The audacity DICKtator Dan possesses beggars belief but it's rivalled, unfortunately in this case, by the Diamond's ignorance and hypocrisy. 'Modern ' Australia never ceases to disappoint.

Sadly, historian Geoffrey Blainey and others have documented the wars between Aboriginal tribes before settlers arrived, and particularly in Victoria, where these tribes committed genocides, that eliminated their fellow Aboriginal people at a rate significantly greater than any other conflicts until World War 1. Aboriginal people today recall this history in their truth telling as did Pastor Doug Nicholls with me, when I first arrived in Australia in 1970 and was befriended by him lunchtimes from my Little Collins St job, between 1970 -1974.

That statement really shows the hypocrisy of this whole affair. It's gone from criticizing a comment made many years ago by someone other than the generous supporter, (who by the way in her own way has shown sympathy and support for many indigenous programs, not denigrating them at all), to accepting taxpayer funded support from a government led by a person who has shown how much he really cares about anything and anyone. He makes personal gain from this affair right before an election and shows his generosity in spending other people's hard-earned wages. Just look at the money Victorians don't have in the State Budget! By the way. How many tax-paying Victorians wanted to spend money on a team they don't necessarily watch or a sport they are not interested in?

The damage done by this woke virtue signaling is far more than just the money.

People who know about Gina like her and are offended by their decision.

Like QANTAS, they are doomed to loose many supporters and participants.

When will the insanity end?

Dan is just following his normal promotional expenditure from the public purse like he did with the Red Shirts. This guy has no shame, but no opposition either, unfortunately.

Someone needs to push him off his ladder again, but make it permanent this time.

Surely Dan has committed more crimes against humanity with his lockdowns, rubber bullets, ambulance waiting times and hospitals under staffed than Gina's dad being a eugenicist.

Don't these women know abortion was promoted by eugenicists? My body, my choice. Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate the blacks from the US. Are they now going to be all "Pro-Life"?

Bet ya bottom $15 million dollars they’ll accept the offer! As if Victoria hasn’t been through enough. A perfect way to further flush it down the toilet and Dan Andrews is happy to be the hero but truthfully couldn’t give a rip.
