ACCORDING to recent polling it appears that Labor is in a reasonably solid position as we approach the Victorian state election. Denis Napthine and Daniel Andrews both possess the charisma of stale milk so neither is likely to produce anything earth-shattering in the last couple of weeks of
the campaign.
We can be thankful that regardless of who wins the state election Monbulk will remain a closely contested marginal seat and will therefore remain highly prized by both major parties.
The other very important factor is that we as voters still have the opportunity to send a message to a ‘career’ politician. It is time that a real person who has lived in the real world and has held down a real job was given the chance to represent us. It is also time to send Jimmy (never had a real job) Merlino out into the real world so he can discover how the rest of us deal with the pressures of real life.
Think about it. Do you really believe anyone who has never held a real job in their life should represent us in parliament?
