entirely missing on Black Saturday, along with his Police Minister, Bob Cameron, who finally deigned to arrive at HQ at 8.30pm that day - when 173 people had already died - the two of them should have got the army in immediately, and called a state of emergency - Christine Nixon was busy having a hair-do, consulting her biographer, and going out to dinner. Yet people still defend her!
Now there's an election on Novmber 27th - and floods - and Labor Brumby is everywhere there's a photo opportunity. He was even pictured lugging sandbags around himself! Hypocrites!
Nothing like an imminent election to smarten people up.
A bushfire - people being burnt to death - no, I must go to my own property up in Bendigo - Bushfire Headquarters can take care of itself. I'm only the Premier - he's only the Police Minister - she's only the Police Commssioner - supposedly in charge of operations! They can muddle through. we don;t need to be there!
So a lot of Neros fiddled while Rome burned and people were dying horribly that tragic day. It was an utter disgrace!
