Victoria\u2019s corruption watchdog, IBAC, has exposed broad corruption in the Victorian Labor government which goes back decades. Its extent is so thorough that there can be no doubt that Premier Daniel Andrews knew and was a party to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, IBAC has not recommended criminal prosecution, and despite supposedly taking full responsibility, Dictator Dan remains Victoria\u2019s ruler:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has apologised for what he has described as \u201cabsolutely disgraceful behaviour\u201d by Labor MPs detailed in a report by the state\u2019s anti-corruption watchdog.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report, released by Victoria\u2019s anti-corruption watchdog on Wednesday, uncovered \u201cegregious\u201d and \u201cextensive misconduct\u201d by Victorian Labor MPs, including rampant nepotism, widespread misuse of public resources and a culture of branch stacking dating back decades.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victoria\u2019s Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) held public hearings in October and November 2021 into the misuse of taxpayer funds and community grants in the Victorian branch of the ALP.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the findings, Mr Andrews said he took \u201cfull responsibility\u201d for the conduct detailed in the report.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe report tabled today shows \u2026 absolutely disgraceful behaviour, behaviour that does not meet my expectations or the expectations of hardworking members of the Victorian community,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the leader of the party and the leader of our state, I take full responsibility for that conduct \u2014 that is what the top job is about \u2014 and I apologise for it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, that\u2019s it? Sorry guys?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Andrews was among dozens of witnesses also ordered to privately give evidence over cultural failings in the Labor Party.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knew. The dodgy dictator knew. But all we get is a \u201csorry, but I\u2019m keeping my job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
