Dear Editor,
Former Premier Daniel Andrews doesn’t deserve a King’s Birthday honour, and I am looking forward to presenting the Governor-General with a petition calling for it to be revoked.
The decision to start a petition against the inappropriate and unjustified awarding of a Companion of the Order of Australia wasn’t taken lightly and the response has been overwhelming.
We at The Nationals will make sure all responses are taken to the highest office.
Under no circumstances should Mr Andrews retain the Companion of the Order of Australia, and we will do our utmost to make sure it is removed.
Victorians have been left to pick up the pieces, now burdened with record debt because Mr Andrews couldn’t manage money.
New Premier Jacinta Allan is carrying on the legacy of mismanagement and all regional Victorians are being burdened with the pain.
Since the start of Mr Andrews’ reign as Premier, Labor has slapped Victorians with 55 new or increased taxes or charges. The bad news keeps rolling with Ms Allan at the helm.
Our finances are a mess. Labor can’t manage money, and all regional Victorians are paying the price.
Mr Andrews failed Victorians and that is nothing to celebrate. He has done nothing to deserve such a high honour.
