Andrews tramples democracy for Northern Victorians

Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Peter Walsh

Daniel Andrews has continued his political thuggery and intimidation denying the people of Northern Victoria their democratic right to full representation.

The Andrews Labor Government has thrown the parliament into chaos by denying normal parliamentary conventions for the second time this week, preventing the swearing in of the fifth Northern Victorian representative, Luke O’Sullivan.

Their appalling performance in parliament today was a blatant attempt to bully a return of their own MP who was suspended for refusing to comply with an order of the Legislative Council.

Daniel Andrews is treating democracy like this is one of his union payback deals.

It is clear intimidation and bullying are standard behaviour for Daniel Andrews.
