I wish Daniel Andrews well

Whatever one's political views I'll say the following;

1. Daniel Andrews is a human being who is recovering from an injury. Any injury especially a spinal one can be serious. The fact he's recovering is a good thing and I'd say the same about anyone.
2. His electorate need a member to represent them so they will be better off with him back at work.
3. The state needs him back in charge to do the job his caucus elected him to do. That's how our system works like it or not. He needs to be back at work so the voters of Victoria can assess how he performs.
4. The Victorian opposition should steer away from grubby personal attacks on someone recovering from an injury, and concentrate on some of the many failings of his government and offer the people a viable alternative.

Otherwise they'll be wiped out like the rabble in WA was. They now have president for life McGowan who is premier, Treasurer and who knows what else, with none to hold him or his government accountable for anything.

5. Andrews has received medical care and he's also been getting paid a huge sum of money whilst recovering. That's something nearly no one else would get if they were in similar circumstances. I sincerely hope he appreciates what's he's got.

I'll add a bit to that.

There are quite a few people that do enjoy the benefits of a permanent decent job where they can take the time they need to recover. It highlights how privileged they are when compared to pensioners, casuals etc.

Anyone that has experienced these types of injuries understands that it takes a long time to get right. If it isn't managed well, people end up with a permanent problem. All because they didn't take the time and follow the specialists instructions.

Talk to any old sportsperson that was rushed back from injury.

Those people also know that injuries like ribs, shoulders ankles etc will appear to be ok in a few months when the reality is it can take a year for them to be spot on. E.g. AFL footballers are an example. Note how many of them have their shoulders taped week in, week out.

Opposition. When the best the opposition can do is peddle conspiracy theories such as this one and the leader of said opposition refuses to officially kill that rubbish, you have got to wonder where we are going to end up.

The opposition's job is to hold the government to account.

They have had plenty of material to work with. Hotel quarantine, power prices, CFA volunteers, power prices and so on. There has been plenty of fodder for the opposition to utilise . Actual issues that affect Victorians every day.

Instead, they bang on about some ridiculous conspiracy theory involving high profile community members. They have involved the Fox family in Victoria. A very big employer and contributor to the state. Not the smartest strategy, I would've thought.

What kind of respect are they going to get from the local business community when they peddle bs like that ?

No wonder we have a government that can get away with what they do. The opposition is non existent.

It is no coincidence that certain posters have been pushing this conspiracy theory. It is obviously designed to take the focus off the insipid opposition.
