@daicosisgod; re your post which included "... the CBD in those days was dominated by Greek and Italian cafe owners ...". They weren't the only ones!
Indeed; you missed the point I made that my bakery boss was Jewish and his very real clients throughout Melbourne's CBD were mostly Jewish. Delivering cakes throughout the CBD between 5:00am and 8:30am provides many different insights ... that's what's etched in my memory!
Labor has indeed been in office for most of the last quarter of a century in what used to be the Liberal Party's crowning glory. Voters trusted Kennett who reduced Victoria to scorched earth. After the Bracks- Brumby Era voter tried the Libs again - giving affable Big Ted Balllieu the nod until mutineers cut him off at the knees. The Napthine government's do NOTHING while $Feeding corporate $Greed still lingers in the minds of voters more than a decade later.
Daniel Andrews marketed his 'Big Build' to Victorians and was elected in 2014, 2018 and 2022 as a result. And he got on with the job! Your beloved Liberals made themselves irrelevant ... still their status today!
