and, we must remember, Brumby was never voted in as Premier in his own right!
He just walked into the job - took over the baton from Bracks.
And, like a dog with a bone, I keep reminding you that Bracks, an elected, supposed popular, Premier, just cleaned out his desk and walked out on Victoria one Friday night - with no notice and no prior announcment. Closely followed by his Deputy, John Thwaites, who did the same that night. They were not in their offices as of the next Monday morning.
Hardly a peep in the Press - but if it'd have been Jeff Kennett and his Deputy, we'd still be hearing echoes of the screaming! It was an outrageous event, and has never been adequately explained.
