It’s all so dodgy. How did they even win the bid for the games in the first place? It must have been like Anastasia’s not very exciting win for the Olympics in QLD. So easy with no other real contestants 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Interesting comments, James. It makes me think of some of your past licence plate logos. ‘Victoria — The Place to Be’, ‘Victoria — On the Move’ ‘Stay Alert Stay Alive. Could it be that it is now Victoria the place to be if you want to be taxed to the hilt? On the move, but not sure which direction financially. Stay alert, stay alive unless you're the budget. Is that why the education state was picked by Dan the destroyer instead as Victoria's now learning what it's like to live with massive debt from his negligent government.

Strikes me that politicians are only good at one thing & that’s politics. Not governing. What a mess.

Quite clearly, none of these people have ever been in business.

As I read your article, James, two thoughts entered my head - is Victoria being governed by Primary school children who don’t understand economics ( I was a total failure at it), and two, with this government we have currently running this country into the ground, maybe we should say, Poor Fellow, my Country!

The CCP turned Chairman Dan when he went to get a loan so he had NO CHOICE but to cancel the games

The moral is Never TRUST a communist or 99+% of Politicians

Remember Dan's SOLO unannounced trip to CHINA??

PERHAPS he was refused FUNDING for games.?

Soon after the games were cancelled & his shock resignation ,effective immediately ,with 24 hrs notice?

Coincidence or what? Unbelievable arrogance to just down tools & run, leaving this mess behind..That solo visit was never questioned even by media!

Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) must think due diligence is the name of a race horse, hopeless.

Thanks James.

In normal times this would be horrific and the government perpetrating it would be history.

We are not in normal times. This is the new dark ages.

Strings are being pulled by the Evil Empire no that should be evil empire never give it capitals and is best understood through the lens of 1984 or misunderstood through Lewis Carroll's Alice books.

This is the same everywhere I have just spent the day passing on the news that the Labor Party is encouraging Yes voters to vote more than once in the Voice referendum according to the One Nation party.

This is not bad government. This is evil government.

If the Socialists are good at spending other people's money and quantitive easing is as simple as pushing a couple of buttons on the keyboard to make a trillion dollars appear on the balance sheet, as if by magic. How about they twinkle those QE keys to create enough funds to pay out every loan on the planet, then enact the Biblical act of the Jubilee where that big loan is forgiven. The only person or organisation that would loose would be the same one that's been printing money out of thin air then having the audacity to charge us interest on that fairy cough, fiat money for years. 🤔

In John Leake’s piece today he coined a new name for our government leaders - ghouls- so very apt.

When you see the information, it is flabbergasting and astounding. That incompetence could exist in this one state. Vic Labor are a gift to any opposition but it seems like the Liberals are more concerned with persecuting their own members and trying to emulate them. But then most levels of government in Australia are like that.
