Opportunism or Something else................

 The lockdown has eased in Victoria, and the numbers of infected people has already risen back to four from one and before that 2 infections. There will be many more now. Will there be a third lockdown, if that madman Daniel Andrews attempts to keep everyone alive, hale and hearty. That is his excuse for all this disruption. However, it is also to benefit him, in that, he can hide all manner of expense for the rail programs he has put in place, and also keep people away from the areas where the rail, tunnelling work is being carried out.

Daniel Andrews is an opportunist, who is trying to get as much done as possible while people stay away and find it difficult or impossible to physically scrutinise what he is doing. He and his ministers are rubbing their hands together, because they can do whatever they want and without the usual examination that would otherwise be conducted to ensure he doesn't take shortcuts or overspends.

Is this recognised by anyone? Probably not, because people are being distracted by the coronavirus pandemic. Do the people of Victoria understand they are being held in thrall, by what appears to be for their good. They are, but there are wheels within wheels. Do they realise that Michael O'Brien, the opposition leader is hamstrung, but also too weak and without the charisma to have people vote for him?

Admittedly, you would have to be crazy to vote for the Liberals at this point. There are other political parties that present better choices. The greens certainly. The smaller parties should be thrown into the political mix of government of Victoria, Not only so the decision making is more environmentally friendly, but also to slow things down and make the decisions more widely accepted, or if the government presents legislation proposal that are suspect, are suitably amended. We need greater public diversity.
