  • 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.

  • For VFBV District Councils
    For VFBV District Councils This list shows responses from Victorian State MPs to VFBV’s 11 June letter on the issue of presumptive legislation – the firefighters’ cancer law that would simplify the path to cancer compensation for Victorian volunteer and career firefighters. District Councils are encouraged to use this list as part of their planning to ensure that volunteers contact all State MPs in their area and seek their support on this important issue. See the VFBV website for more information on the issue, including a copy of our ‘Notes for MPs’ that volunteers can present to MPs. As at 22 August 2013; There has been strong support from the Greens, who have presented draft legislation to State Parliament, and in-principle support from Labor The Coalition Government has not committed to supporting presumptive legislation. VFBV is committed to working with all Victorian MPs to secure all-party support for fairer and simpler access to cancer compensation for Victorian volunteer and career firefighters and a part of that is having volunteers talk to their local MPs. See below for the response received from individual MPs, listed in alphabetical order. Please advise the VFBV office of any contacts made and responses from MPs. Name, Party and Electorate Have they replied to VFBV’s Summary of the MPs’ advice or actions letter of 11 June 2013? Jacinta Allan No Supportive: Yes. Labor Bendigo East Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Jacinta Allan issued a media release on 6 February 2013, calling for the State Government to take part in round table discussions and stating that Labor supports the principal of presumptive legislation and wants to work with all parties on progressing this Bill through Parliament.

  • Police Scandal Rocks Baillieu Josh Gordon and David Rood October 28, 2011
    Police scandal rocks Baillieu Josh Gordon and David Rood October 28, 2011 THE Baillieu government has been rocked by the exposure of a secret plot from within the office of the Deputy Premier to oust former police commissioner Simon Overland. The explosive revelations, contained in a report from the Office of Police Integrity, yesterday forced the resignation of a junior minister and a key police adviser to the government. The report has also placed Deputy Premier and Police Minister Peter Ryan at the centre of the most damaging scandal to hit Premier Ted Baillieu in his 11 months in office, and under intense political pressure. Advertisement: Story continues below Mr Ryan insisted he had ''absolutely no idea'' that his police adviser, Tristan Weston, had been running a destructive and machiavellian campaign of leaks against Mr Overland. The Office of Police Integrity probe also found that Mr Ryan's ministerial understudy, parliamentary secretary for police Bill Tilley, was complicit in the plot. Mr Tilley and Mr Weston - an ex-police officer who was hand-picked by Mr Ryan after failing as a Liberal candidate at the 2010 election - both resigned yesterday after the OPI report was tabled in Parliament. The report, by OPI director Michael Strong, also canvassed whether the admissible evidence would justify criminal charges against Mr Weston. The report said Mr Weston had pursued his own political agenda with ''no sense of boundaries'', releasing often unfounded and misleading leaks that played a direct role in Mr Overland's decision to quit in June. ''Having failed to gain parliamentary office, [Mr Weston] found himself in a position of power and influence … and he simply did not know where to draw the line, or much care,'' the report said.
