This is disingenuous garbage from Premier Andrews. His own MPs on Electoral Matters passed the buck back to the Parliament to commission a review into GTV in the previous term and his own government then failed to start that review. #VicVotes

You could only think the matter of Group Ticket Voting was not in sharp focus after at least a fifth of the parliament was elected undeservedly in 2018 - resulting in a deluge of submissions - if you were a politician with severe vision problems.

It is also hypocritical for the Liberals to say they would refer Labor to IBAC as the Liberals should also be investigated over claims made in the video. In particular, whether a desire to avoid upsetting Druery resulted in them abandoning a previous anti_GTV position.

Seems almost the entire Victorian parliament is either in thrall to or in fear of Glenn Druery and/or Druery-assisted parties when it comes to electoral reform and Victoria's upper house democracy has been hacked by preference harvesting. This is a national disgrace. #VicVotes

Matthew Guy: “The government says they don’t have a problem with this. They have been the beneficiary of the results of this,” he said. “Why don’t they change it?"

Well they need your party's votes to change it and your party has been AWOL as an opposition on this issue.

That's not the full answer of course but the Victorian Liberals could have at least tried to pressure the government to fix GTV so they could say they did their best and then it would be clear whose fault it was that it remained.
