There’s a stench around the man. In other states, he would have been forced to resign because of corrupt conduct quite some time ago - but Victoria is different. The police may have been protecting him too. There are questions about a car accident he and his wife had where they seriously injured a child on a bicycle as well - where it really does seem the police didn’t follow their normal procedures in investigating. I really wonder if that shoe is about to drop.
But, yeah, we may never know. And maybe he has just decided he’s done everything he wants to do and there’s nothing suspicious about this... but this really is very sudden. And it’s Grand Final week in Victoria - the Australian Football League’s biggest game of the year. It’s the perfect week for somebody to resign while a lot of the media’s attention is elsewhere - it’s difficult for people outside of Victoria to understand just how big the football is here. AFL is basically the state religion.
Who knows.
If something different happens and he actually has something publicly come out that does have traction I’ll be shocked.
But I admit I was shocked that Andy “da groper” Cuomo resigned here in NY.
“...seriously injured a child on a bicycle as well - where it really does seem the police didn’t follow their normal procedures in investigating. I really wonder if that shoe is about to drop.”
At least we can speculate that in Australia, this would have a negative effect on a progressive.
Here, the only time it would be a problem for a lefty is if the deep state had decided it was time for him to go because he was hurting the deep state.
