Members statements

Government performance

Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (13:19): Recently I was doing some work at home and I noticed a tree had moved on the left side of my house, and it got me thinking. A few things have moved on the left of late. I thought to myself, given the Premier and her government are a train wreck, who on the left has moved in the Labor Party? Is it the unsighted Treasurer, who we have not seen for nine weeks? Has she moved off the Premier and gone to the Deputy Premier for his support? Is it the Minister for Education himself, who flunked the VCE introduction? Is it the Minister for Planning, who wants to put a million people in Melbourne but no-one else in her seat, the same minister who cannot even tighten up the bail laws? Is it indeed the Minister for Police, who will not talk to the media? Which one from this train wreck of a government is moving off the Premier and supporting the Deputy Premier to roll the Premier by July? We know she will not last the winter in that job. We know the Premier is heading to be rolled by her own party.

Members interjecting.

Matthew GUY: You can laugh, but you are going to lose your seat.

Dylan Wight interjected.

Matthew GUY: Oh, the one up the back, Tarneit – I cannot wait for that one. I have not finished yet, because I am also going to say: while you are at it, sack the Victorian Electoral Commission.
