Victorians pay the price for Labor’s UFU support

15 April 20153 May 2015 Tom Pretty 1540 Views

Extraordinary allegations in this morning’s Herald-Sun and The Age of attempted political interference by Labor government staff in proceedings against a firefighter over pornography charges, at the instigation of the United Firefighters Union (UFU).

What makes it even worse is that the union claims it had a deal with Labor for the government to intervene in these proceedings, and is now complaining Labor has reneged on the deal.

This is the latest is a series of demands that the firefighters union has reportedly made on Daniel Andrews and his government in return for the UFU’s support in last year’s state election.

Victorians are now paying the price for that support.

Now there's an MP that should be investigated, fully.

I thought Gladys was the first Member of the Chinese Communist Party to be elected in Australia. Funny, all those groups she was listed as belonging too that she, "didn't know I was a member of them".

God bless you sir

No wonder Victoria is broke.

This guy is a fake scammer

How are you

Another one of the new world order, subjugation at any cost, even lives.

Today's independent report shows that regular CityLink motorists will be slugged thousands of dollars each in extra tolls to pay for the West Gate Tunnel.

Premier Andrews rushed into the West Gate Tunnel project because he was desperate to sign up for something else after scrapping East West Link. Transurban have taken him to the cleaners, and CityLink motorists are paying the price. To read the full report, see bit.ly/2Y8bAfY. ... See MoreSee Less

VICTORIANS VOTED FOR THIS DONKEY FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS WITH A MAJORITY THEY WHERE WARNED BEFORE THE ELECTION BUT NO ONE LISTENED WHAT DOES IT SAY , ONLY 3 MONTHS IN HE HAS DOUBLED LAND TAX , LOCKED US INTO THIS CRAP WITH TRANSURBAN, PUT UP WATER ,GANG VOILENCE, LAW AND ORDER STILL OUT OF CONTROL RED SHIRTS NOTHING TO ANSWER TOO THAT IS ONLY THE BEGINING

Hmmm. Anyone remember the Kennet government shutting down a number of suburban streets so that motorists were virtually forced to use city link? They are all the same.

What has Jeff Kennets' deal with Transurban cost us?

I've been saying this for ages no one listened

Seems like we in the country have more sense than city people ,they are the ones that voted him back in .maybe they like people that do shonky deals and get away with things others would be in court for .

Too many incentives for both sides of politics to make terrible decisions.. they all end up on boards with great packages after there political careers end

They voted this incompetent fool I and now we have to pay the cost I wouldn't let him manage my household budget

Stop immigration our roads can't cope, SIMPLE

Do they donate to labor?

What's new. Slug us for their election promises

When will he govern for us and not for himself?

That’s ok Victorians like being poor, we even vote for it.

Today's 50/50 column in the Herald Sun Melbourne. Daniel Andrews is trying to get mobile phones out of the classroom but it will cost 12 million dollars to purchase lockers to put the mobile phones in for all schools. What happened to teachers instructing students to leave their mobile phone in their general locker and if parents need to contact a student they can phone the school office. Cost to each school zero. If every child Leaves their phone in the locker with the rest of their stuff. The 12 million dollars saved could go to the farmers.

Mr Dodgy hasn't changed his spots

This tunnel is desperately needed.

Well, I didn’t vote him in. Rome is burning while Nero(Andrews) is playing the fiddle.

www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/more-than-a-year-on-has-sky-rail-turned-suburbs-into-ghettos-... Turns out you were wrong wrong wrong. Maybe you should apologise?

Yes...U have to ask who these dodgy pollies really work for...??????....WHERE'S TELMO GONE...??????

And what is your option. This why you dinosaurs got smashed on the state election and your Federal LNP mates holding this state to ransom. Bring on May so we can clean them out as well 🎉

The sheeple who voted for labor now will have to pay for their lack of judgement

Question, how many former senior Labor politicians are currently employed by, or lobbying for, Transurban?

What do you expect from a socialist government that is more 5han willing to sell our souls.

Don’t close them use them for the ‘African gangs’ that don’t exist. 😜😡

The LNP need to state clearly their policy on immigration, work visas, refugees. Unless you are stark staring mad it is clearly evident that Australia has passed it's population capacity already and further growth will be detrimental! The selling off of our land and utilities to foreign ownership is also clearly to the DISADVANTAGE of Australia going forward. So what are their policies on that????

How many have come by plane?

Let the homeless use it

The LNP havent stopped the boats they have just stopped reporting it. Operational matters

EVERY night in Australia, 47'000 women sleep HOMELESS. That's JUST women. They wait UP TO 15 years for housing atm, BUT... imagine the waiting list once this HAPPENS... and it will! WITHIN the VERY FIRST MONTH of the🤔🤔 ShortenGreencfmeu government being elected, I'll BET RIGHT NOW that the FIRST BOAT will be picked up! After that, it WILL BE 4-5 EVERY month. How CAN'T ALPGreen voters see the writing on the wall??? But THAT'S OKAY, It's the rest of us who'll PAY FOR IT, that's why we pay tax😉😡😠

Open these centers for the homeless people in our country

If Australians haven’t woken up to both sides of our political system we are in trouble , neither party will act in the best interest of the Aussie people because they are being dictated too by the Communist corrupt U N . Thanks Rudd .

more buildings left empty what about the homeless ????

our government IS an enima, they give EVERYONE the SHITS

Send em back and don't let anymore in.

Let it go Robert as after the Federal Election in May the LNP will be irrelevant.

Would not trust the word of one Politician let alone a Canberra Circus full of🤡🤡🤡🤡🤑🤥🙈🙉🙊 Circus🧠deads

R.I.P. Australia

They are still coming in

Trying to find a suitable place, close to south pole.

Sll our politicians are only out to feather their own nests 🤮

A bit hard to implement in opposition

Only difference is now they fly in under the LNP. Similar numbers though

Well done labor

All except the ones that count, apparently.

Labor might renew the lease. 🤠

We dont need detention centers, just put them on a plane and ship the out.

Are they taking them to their homes and having them there I don’t think so it’s a lot of B S
