Nothing is ever "all bad" or "all good" there's always elements of both. So here's 4½ good things about Daniel Andrews.
1. When it finally becomes obvious to even the most brain dead sheep that Victoria is ruined, and every other state isn't, Victorian Labor will be decimated.
2. When it finally becomes obvious to even the most brain dead sheep, that Daniel Andrews had absolutely no interests in his life other than absolute power, they will no longer trust people who seek power, and a new breed of representatives will be elected to the government.
3. When it finally becomes obvious to even the most brain dead sheep, that Daniel Andrews screwed Victoria to the loud cheers of prominent social media personalities and journalists, those people will be public enemy #1, and hounded from public life.
4. When it finally becomes obvious to even the most brain dead sheep, that lies kept Daniel Andrews in power while he ruined Victoria, they will start wondering what else they've been lied to about. And there are a great many things to keep them busy.
5. When it finally becomes obvious to even the most brain dead sheep, that everything about Daniel Andrews is a lie, they will become conspiracy theorists, and believe in nothing. And fall for everything. And the cycle repeats.
But at least we got rid of that fucking Dan Andrews

So far it's "get vaxxed" times a thousand. I wonder if Mr Limpy is getting paid in little blue pills.
The vaccine protection is clearly proven he says, after announcing the highest figure of fully vaccinated people in hospital to date.
And here comes the justification of Nazi powers. He's copying the equine Nazi from across the ditch.
Unvaccinated people are dirty, and should be treated as such.
Now the man who has failed 7 times to offer his health advice for scrutiny is bragging about a new transparency 🤦♀️
So let's do an #IBAC summary of today's hearings. Appearing again was Rick Garotti, Mayor of Banyule, Somyurek stooge. Boy, did he get a flogging.
After getting thrashed yesterday by Carr, he was careful to not deny anything he couldn't remember, in case receipts were inbound.
And LOTS of receipts were provided by IBAC, including financial documents, emails, phone intercepts with audio, and text messages. The actual focus of the hearings today was largely around SACOV, or the Somali Australian Council of Victoria, and grants awarded to them.
Garotti was heavily involved in facilitating these grants, but officially Hussein Haraco was running the show there. Garotti moved behind the scenes via Somyurek to the executive to gain info about grants and progress, Hussein actually filed the grants.
So it's #IBACday! Again.... Time for another serve of #OpWatts. Returning to the stand for another round is Rick Garotti.
I'm going to be using more abbreviations to try and get more content in each tweet, as it will work better with drawn out sections of questioning. See below.
CR - Comm. Redlich
CA - Counsel Assisting
W - Witness
AS - Adem Somyurek
MK - Marlene Kairouz
RS - Robin Scott
NE - Nazih Elasmar
KV - Kaushaliya Vaghela
HH - Hussein Haraco
SACOV - Somali Australian Council of Victoria
BMR - Bracks/Macklin Report
CCB - Corrupt, Cheating Bastards
And we're up!!! Good morning Mr Garotti!
CR reminds him he's still under oath, asks if there is anything he wants to challenge or correct from yesterday, that's a no, and it's straight over to CA for the first question of the day. #OpWatts
Garotti isn't a good witness. He was clearly wanting to be a big player, whether he actually was or not, and is trying to downplay himself to the commission.
But they are having none of it, and keep referring him to previous statements, and evidence they had locked and loaded that Garotti wasn't aware of.
One thing shines through yet again. Labor's internal party culture is/was rotten AF, and they don't learn from their mistakes.
Much of these activities can't be recalled in any detail, because they were so run of the mill they weren't remarkable enough to be memorable. And the commissioner once again brings up #RedShirts to clarify that the witness of the day was aware of it, and nothing changed after it
Almost time for the #IBAC hearings to start again. This will be the live tweeting threat for #OpWatts. Will be using the following abbreviations:
CR - Commissioner Redlich
CA - Council assisting
W - Witness (Rick Garotti)
WC - Witness council
Waiting for the stream.....
And we're off and racing! The commissioner now going through the formalities with the Witness and his council.
Today's witness is the former mayor of Banyule council, and I think we're going to hear more about ethnic branch stacking today via the Somali association #OpWatts
And it's question time! And some boring questions to the witness about the summons. Number 2021187. So presumably that's summons 187 issued in 2021. Interesting. I presume that's all IBAC matters, not just #OpWatts
