The Young Liberals in Victoria have attempted to follow in the footsteps of David Clarke’s troopers in NSW. The problem is they’re not as bright. One of two clowns, John Osborn is just a goon and I am stunned that the Liberals had to go that low.

Do we have a case of each state Lib branch trying to pass the baton to the greens?

“They must be making this stuff up, I refuse to believe it’s for real!”

Yeah, it is quite funny. What I saw was commentators accusing Baillieu of being a labor plant and others accusing the the staffers of being labor plants with demands for enquiries into the undemining of the liberal party by labor plants.

If Sheezel wants to roll Baillieu so badly, perhaps he should seek out some expert tutelage from Alex Hawke and David Clarke.

Being north of the Murray, I don’t know Baillieu well, but “Red Ted” seems non-threatening and half-decent from this Labor voter’s viewpoint: just as John Brogden seemed non-threatening and half-decent. It appears that Baillieu faces the same plight as poor old Broggers.

Right-wing factional funny business is killing the Liberal brand.

I think the most entertaining thing about the ‘red ted’ blog so far is the response on Bolt’s blog (http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/baillieu_announces_hes_in_deep_trouble/)

They must be making this stuff up, I refuse to believe it’s for real!

Oh well lets see where it leads. Maybe they can weed it out but I think the rot has gone too far.

Too Funny! Brumby’s “..don’t wish to comment..but..” at the end.
Oh lordy. What a nice start to the week!
This is what they get for employing Young Liberals.

I’m a little surprised by the size of Brumby’s lead, what may explain it is he is showing some strong leadership.

The only seat at risk from the North-South pipeline is the seat of Seymour, the pipe will run near towns like Yea which normally goes 2-1 in favor of the Liberals.

There is one issue that may hurt the Government and that is the new law restricting entry to pubs and clubs after 2am, this policy will only apply to inner city venues.

This policy may cost the Government Prahran and could see a big increase in the Green vote in the seats of Albert Park, Richmond, Melbourne and Brunswick.

It’s been over a week and I’m yet to hear anything about this from the Liberals and this explains why they are struggling.

Interesting that by 2012 the state will have a debt of $22 Billion up from the current $6 Billion.

Someone earlier suggested that the rich don’t use Public Transport, I disagree with this comment!

At this early stage I would expect Brumby to win the next Election but with a reduced majority

That’s what happens when you employ creeps. If that is the talent you have to hire, than you are stuffed.
