The no longer squeaky clean Mr Brumby
Well done Jon for following the Age lead and reading the texts ( 774 must do more of it --but do it using a producer whose job it is to properly represent the listeners - something Jon only thinks he does , when he's not playing chameleon )
Presumably the well intentioned leader of what is a wheelbarrow fulla holes will continue to say " I don't wanna know " to both the public and his colleagues as he did in response to the names mentioned in the Age articles yesterday-
"I don't know and don't need to know" is the implication could mean " I don't wanna know'
Either way" it is a matter for HIM "because particular members of staff were named in the Age .
Nixon said "I don't remember" . Its much easier to say "I don't know" . Both are great for those determined to cover up crap !
The party he stands up to defend are not worthy of defence .”I reject the question he says” . Not good enough and legal defence talk only . There are no dumb questions most thinking people would say .
The detail in the Age was clear and John Brumby failed to be clear even resorting to the totally unacceptable line that somehow it wasn't his business TO FIND OUT .
Jon did a good job of asking him the question about who was doing and paying for the dirt digging. Brumby made weak excuses for his ministers who clearly do what they like in defence of their own incompetence. Maybe it was that lack of control of “ team members” trying to cover that caused Bracks to leave? The public do not know Yet of of just how much crap covered ? The bushfire enquiry should have cooked em but did it?
Why should Labour get another term?
John Brumby's claim that he wasn't across the issue was all most Victorians need to give his wandering incompetents the flick .
Brumby is too busy to answer the question - his government is out inventing some New solutions. Their new solutions over the last 11 years should be enough to get them kicked out because how many have worked and lasted ! What business is it of good government to be backing solutions and particular inventors !
