‘An honour’: Brad Battin addresses Victoria after becoming new Liberal Party leader

Correct ✅ I was thinking the same if he doesn’t he will be the same so this will be fruitless

I’d love to hear about these “woke” policies

[@dominictucci6030]

@Vilblue How about: Cancellation of Australia Day for fear of upsetting inner city lefty aboriginal activists? Forcing people to get off gas when appliances wear out and Forcing already financially stressed out families to fork out up to $35,000 to electrify their houses to "save the planet " How about bullshit treaties to aboriginal activists for what the British did 240 years ago by daring to colonise this land and resulting in into being a first world country? What about pathetic soft on youth crime bail laws because it's more important to protect young scum than innocent victims? Is that enough for you?

Good luck Mr Battin,sadly after what we all saw with the Andrews Government particularly during the lockdown period,I’m not surprised the state of Victoria is in such disarray; I myself, am too afraid to ever visit Victoria again for fear of my safety from the actual authorities! You have a massive task ahead of you cleaning up your State and re-building trust of your communities, but I wish you well and look forward to seeing someone of your leadership qualities re-building. Work on the schools too please …educate the youth not only academically, but to have respect for all people within their community. Once the cost of living becomes affordable again (if this is ever achieved), I suspect that we will see a reduction in the crime rate…I will pray for this outcome.

Good riddance to Pesutto. Not the most rallying speech to inspire a fresh start, but hopefully Battin can help turn the tide in Victoria.

Otherwise, looks like a Labor minority is on the cards, with a confidence supply from the Green loonies.

[@rossnolan7283]

What was the 'small business' type that he ran ? Being vague leaves a lot to the imagination, an ex tradesman or manufacturer would be far more confidence building than a cop, they have a totally managed existence, producd nothing and do not pay for their failures ( organized crime and celebrity underworld figures are a symptom of that) their brutal behaviour to grandmothers sitting on a park bench during the covid panic was chilling. Politicians should apply judgement rather than follow blind instructions. We do not want or need a police state, even by proxy.
