This is not a political post
It's a post about Dan Andrews
I know people like Dan Andrews
He was that dorky kid in Wangarratta with the big ears that thought he was better than everybody else.
He went off to Study "Politics" in an Arts Degree at The University of Melbourne - that had one of the most Elitist, sour and horrible cultures you can imagine.
I studied at The University of Melbourne. It was great watching the student union ram 40M into a defunct property development and watching them bribe students with vouchers to vote in the student union and basically just wreck the organisation. I think the Uni had to appoint an administrator and take it over.
I'm not saying Dan was part of that but it's an instructive culture I saw play out at a State level
Every Arguement with a Arts student at Melbourne Uni started and finished with them saying you didn't know *critical thinking* and if they lost they just called you a Fascist.
Their only real north star in life was looking for opportunities to talk in front of others.
They loved nothing more than events and decorum and their own voices.
Dan obviously went on to take the crown of being the Premier of Victoria.
I can't imagine what he had to do to win that title. Who he needed to steamroll. What deals he had to do. The Mind Boggles.
He infiltrated just about every social group and every association in Victoria.
He was everywhere. He was in the 4WD community, the High Country Associations. He was in Sports, the Arts. No one was safe.
Pretty easy formula.
Walk in. Talk about safety. Find anyone that didn't fit the new definition and start fights always separating groups into little blocks of incoherence.
The dude basically wasted 200B dollars on Level Crossings and train sets.
But then came the cough cough Which was basically the culmination of life's work.
He and his govt proved to be hopelessly incompetent.
They made a lot of mistakes.
Their only accountability was 'i dont recall'.
I know he's done it tough since he left.
He was able to promise a Commonwealth games, win the election -- but his days at the top we're looking increasingly dangerous.
So he left.
Now Pubs won't let him have meals.
Thousands sign petitions to ban his bronze statue.
Golf clubs have held press conferences to deny him membership.
Im sure it's been rough on him.
So when you see him in China, on the Red Carpet with Xi and Putin and Kim Yong UN and who knows who else... He's effectively completing his Rejection Lap of our fair society.
What do you think History will say about him in 100 years? He will 100 percent stand out. but it won't be positive and he knows it.
Even Bob Carr wasn't dumb enough to do this.
He is a stain on Australia and Frankly he should just leave.
This isn't an anti China post.
Im a supporter of Chinese Cars.
But this is a domestic Military Parade.
Dan is a a private citizen. It's not his role to be there even if he was invited.
As an ex Premier you should consider the optics. It's a military parade.
If I was the US I'd be furious and Albo has defended it (!) WTF ?!!
It's like they want to pick a Barney.
In my mind I know he knows this wasn't the right thing to do. But that's precisely why he did it.
Hes the dork from Wangarratta and he still has power.
And for all the Labor voters. This isn't a political post left vs right. Morrison disgraced himself with his 10 Minister ships in my mind and I voted that guy out too. He failed even more comprehensively.
