An impressive list of citizens!

An indictment on their political masters.

And to anon 1 June 15:08, what makes you think that anyone gives a shit about Brumby losing the next election?

“There’s something wrong in Victoria”

A cracking political ad indeed!

You play with fire you get burnt, you needle dicked minions.

Not being able to extend that to preston: unfortunate.

Being lectured by Jeff Jackson on being ‘clean’: priceless.

For everything else, there’s HSU MasterCard.

Maybe even stronger.

And he has shown great judgment hiring that sound, temperate young intellectual Conrad ‘Heart of Darkness’ French. Fine chap. Great work ethic and attention to detail- and so subtle that you don’t even notice him working.

Labor Right powerbroker and union leader Jeff Jackson said people did not believe the Brumby Government was a “clean-run organisation”.

“The average punter in Victoria is starting to be concerned and worried about John Brumby’s ability to steer an above-board government,” Mr Jackson said.

His attack comes after his enemies in Mr Brumby’s Right faction succeeded in ending the career of Jackson ally and veteran Labor MP George Seitz, who was implicated in the Brimbank scandal.

Labor’s administration committee has shifted the preselection of several Labor seats in the Brimbank area, including Mr Seitz’s, from the hands of local party members to the ALP’s national executive.

The move was engineered by an alliance between a grouping from Labor’s Right and the Socialist Left, which has wrested control from rival forces aligned with Mr Jackson’s Health Services Union.

Mr Jackson, a member of the administration committee, said changing preselection was done to neutralise Mr Seitz because of his popularity in his electorate of Keilor.

Mr Jackson is involved in a power struggle for control of his union, with claims he used a union credit card to pay for escort services and misappropriated funds. He denies the claims.

Asked yesterday if the Brimbank scandal was damaging the Government, Mr Brumby said the Ombudsman had unfettered powers and the Government had acted quickly on the Ombudsman’s report.

“I don’t think the public can expect more than that … he (the Ombudsman) made some very strong recommendations and we acted on them decisively to implement every single recommendation,” he said.

The report found that Mr Seitz, former minister Theo Theophanous and Hakki Suleyman, an electorate officer to Planning Minister Justin Madden, had inappropriately interfered in Brimbank affairs.

Mr Brumby also supported the party’s preselection changes in the Brimbank area.

“Any decisions made in relation to that involving the national executive would be a positive decision for the party,” he said.

Among several electorates to have their preselection changed are the state seat of Niddrie, held by Deputy Premier Rob Hulls, and the federal seat of Maribyrnong, held by MP and Labor Right powerbroker Bill Shorten.

All federal and state MPs affected by the change, with the exception of Mr Seitz, are expected to retain their seats.

The actions of Labor players involved in the Brimbank affair, including several MPs, face further investigation after Seitz supporters succeeded in a push for an internal party inquiry, subject to legal advice.

feeney: fat, chain smoking, badly dressed, rude and stupid.

So come on Eastern Metro delegates, you got rid of Ollie in 2005, time to get rid of RDR in 2009.

ALP, because they work the same rort. Union members, because 90% of them are thick as bricks. If you think that’s harsh or judgemental take a drive through Cessnock NSW. A rock-solid Labor area with the worst roads, the worst schools, the worst policing and the worst hospital. You know it’s an ALP seat because of the floral tributes to their highway dead, up and down the lousy roads.

I don’t blame the ALP though. Struggle street Labor voters are like a certain type of abused wife – no matter how bad it gets, they’ll never bail.

He spent workers money on a premium seat for around 1 hour. How does he get away with it when many big businesses don’t permit Business class for trips less than 4 or 5 hours?

Why does the ALP and the union members put up with it?

Definately worth watching if you haven’t seen it.
