    70% of Victorians Approve of the Way Premier Andrews Is Handling His

    Article No. 8518 Available on www.roymorgan.com Link to Roy Morgan Profiles Thursday, 10 September 2020 70% of Victorians approve of the way Premier Andrews is handling his job, but 76% say the Victorian Government should compensate small business The third Roy Morgan Snap SMS survey on Victoria’s Stage 4 restrictions shows 70% approval of Premier Daniel Andrews. However, a large majority (76%) of Victorians say the Victorian Government should provide compensation to all small businesses in Victoria forced to close by the Victorian Government’s COVID restrictions - only 24% say they should not. For the first time in three weeks of surveying a majority of Victorians 53% (up 6% in a week) say Melbourne residents should now be able to visit the homes of immediate family members. A rising majority of 67% (up 10%) of older Victorians aged 65+, say Melburnians should be able to visit the homes of their immediate family. This is despite being the age group at the greatest risk during the pandemic. Other groups, in which majorities say Melburnians should be able to visit their immediate families, include Melburnians (54%), Victorians aged under 35 (51%), aged 50-64 (54%), men (57%) and L-NP supporters (69%). Melburnians are far more likely than Country Victorians to want to be able to travel more than 5km from their home, visit their families and for the night-time curfew in Melbourne to end. Importantly, a slim majority of 51% of Melburnians now say they should be free to travel more than 5km from their home – up from 45% a week ago.
  • Liberal Nationals Released a Plan

    Liberal Nationals Released a Plan

    COVID-19 RESPONSE May 2020 michaelobrien.com.au COVID-19 RESPONSE Dear fellow Victorians, By working with the State and Federal Governments, we have all achieved an extraordinary outcome in supressing COVID-19 that makes Victoria – and Australia - the envy of the world. We appreciate everyone who has contributed to this achievement, especially our essential workers. You have our sincere thanks. This achievement, however, has come at a significant cost to our local economy, our community and to our way of life. With COVID-19 now apparently under a measure of control, it is urgent that the Andrews Labor Government puts in place a clear plan that enables us to take back our Michael O’Brien MP lives and rebuild our local communities. Liberal Leader Many hard lessons have been learnt from the virus outbreak; we now need to take action to deal with these shortcomings, such as our relative lack of local manufacturing capacity. The Liberals and Nationals have worked constructively during the virus pandemic to provide positive suggestions, and to hold the Andrews Government to account for its actions. In that same constructive manner we have prepared this Plan: our positive suggestions about what we believe should be the key priorities for the Government in the recovery phase. This is not a plan for the next election; Victorians can’t afford to wait that long. This is our Plan for immediate action by the Andrews Labor Government so that Victoria can rebuild from the damage done by COVID-19 to our jobs, our communities and our lives. These suggestions are necessarily bold and ambitious, because we don’t believe that business as usual is going to be enough to secure our recovery.

  • Three Education Ministers with Public Primary School Backgrounds

    Three Education Ministers with Public Primary School Backgrounds

    AUSTRALIAN COUNCIL FOR THE DEFENCE OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS PRESS RELEASE 582# THREE EDUCATION MINISTERS WITH PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL BACKGROUNDS : Rewards for the Public School Vote in the Victorian Election? Although the private, religious school lobby attempted to influence the outcome of the recent Victorian election, it was the disaffected public school voters, particularly in the neglected developing suburbs and inner city that decided the outcome. Education was a key election issue, with Labor making significant commitments to increase support and funding for public TAFEs, schools and preschools. However, it should be noted that Labor also attempted to ‘buy’the religious vote with a promise of $120 m for expanded facilities. James Merlino, like the Labor Party is Janus faced – facing both ways. Yet when the Catholic Education Office instructed Catholic parents to put the Greens last in the inner city electorates, they did the Greens a great service. Two members from those electorates are now sitting in the Victorian Parliament. And the victorious Labor Party has had the sense to replace the ex-Catholic school principal and administrator, Liberal Education Minister Dixon, with someone who has at least a primary school public education- James Merlino. Deputy Premier Merlino is joined by two other Ministers who have public school experiences. They are: Steve Herbert as Minister for Skills and Training and Jenny Mikakos as Minister for Children and Families, Youth Affairs 1 DOGS note the following CVs for the three Labor Ministers involved with education: 1. JAMES MERLINO: James Merlino was born 19 August 1972. He notes that he attended St Edmonds Public School 1978-1984 , Mt Lilydale College 1985-1990 and received a BA (Hons) 1996 (The University of Melbourne).

  • Liberals Will Put Women's and Children's

    Liberals Will Put Women's and Children's

    Wednesday, 24 October 2018 LIBERALS WILL PUT WOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S LIVES AT RISK The Liberal Party has today confirmed it will not commit to implementing all 227 recommendations of the Royal Commission into Family Violence if elected in November. At the Unite Against Family Violence Forum in Melbourne today, Shadow Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence Georgie Crozier was asked whether a Coalition Government would implement all 227 recommendations. Ms Crozier refused to provide that guarantee, saying they needed to “look at the details,” despite the Royal Commission’s report being released more than two years ago. The admission comes just days after Ms Crozier said the Liberals would consider the “financial impost” of these lifesaving recommendations. It beggars belief that anyone could say that protecting women and children from harm is a financial impost. Matthew Guy must immediately explain why his party has walked away from the recommendations – developed by experts after thousands of victim survivors of family violence shared their experiences with the inquiry. Will they cut women’s refuges and other crisis accommodation services? Will they take the axe to new support and safety hubs, men’s behavioural change programs or children’s counselling services? The Andrews Labor Government is implementing every recommendation of the Royal Commission and has invested a record $2.6 billion in family violence services – more than every other state and territory in Australia. Quotes attributable to Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence Natalie Hutchins “The Liberals need to stop playing games with people’s safety and commit to implementing every recommendation of this landmark commission.” “We are implementing every recommendation of the Royal Commission, because every recommendation is essential to ending family violence – you can’t pick and choose.” Media contact: Emma Webster 0428 171 119 | [email protected] .

    Over Policing; the Need for Execuitive Accountability During the Covid-19 Crisis

    Inquiry into the Victorian Government's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Submission no. 20 OVER POLICING; THE NEED FOR EXECUITIVE ACCOUNTABILITY DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS JACQUELINE WRIGHT I INTRODUCTION Following the Victorian Government’s health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee have commenced a public inquiry to consider the effectiveness of the Victorian Government approach.1 This submission addresses the terms of reference of the inquiry by considering the lack of transparency surrounding Victoria’s over policing of vulnerable communities in response to the COVID-19 crisis. This submission considers this lack of transparency around the policing of assembly and movement, in light of executive responsibility as a principle of public law. This submission argues that the Victorian response to the COVID-19 crisis lacks transparency and effective reporting necessary for executive accountability. II EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY Whilst it is important for the Executive Government to be capable of and empowered to respond to a crisis be it war, natural disaster, financial crisis,2 or indeed a health emergency, a level of accountability is essential to prevent an executive power grab. In ascertaining the scope of power of the executive, the cautionary words of Dixon J come to mind: History and not only ancient history, shows that in countries where democratic institutions have been unconstitutionally superseded, it has been done not seldom by those holding the executive power.

    ELLEN SANDELL Ellen Sandell for MELBOURNE for Melbourne CLEAN ECONOMY | FAIR SOCIETY

    VOTE 1 ELLEN SANDELL ELLEN SANDELL FOR MELBOURNE FOR MELBOURNE CLEAN ECONOMY | FAIR SOCIETY THE GREENS’ PlAN FOR A BETTER, MORE LIVEABLE INNER-CITY The Melbourne electorate has Victoria’s highest proportion of flat and apartment dwellings (80.9%) and the state’s lowest proportion of households with two or more vehicles (16.2%). Apartment dwelling is becoming a way of life in Melbourne, but approval of poor quality, high density homes without consultation is threatening the quality of inner-city life. THE GREENS HAVE A PLAN FOR BETTER-QUALITY INNER-CITY HOMES. 1. Reinstate notice and appeal rights in the Capital City Zone Unlike other municipalities, planning applications in the Capital City Zone (CCZ) are exempt from notice and review provisions. This means that where buildings are proposed to be demolished or constructed, owners or occupiers of neighbouring properties are not even required to be told of the proposal, and are not allowed input into the decision-making process. Residents in the CCZ, including body corporates and residents groups, have long called for the reinstatement of basic planning rights, and Greens on council have fought to reinstate planning rights in the central city for many years. 2. Remove the Planning Minister’s power over city tower approvals Under the old parties, planning ministers have been given successively greater powers to ride roughshod over local governments and community groups. Currently the Minister is the responsible authority for planning applications involving buildings with a proposed floor area of 25,000sqm. These fast and loose laws have let Planning Ministers like Matthew Guy approve poorly planned developments with no consultation.
