      Well considering there are people still blaming Kennett for everything 25 years later (even things that happened before and after he was in office), I’m sure people can keep blaming Dan for stuff for at least a decade.

          They blame him for stuff he didn’t do as well. For example I’ve seen him blamed for introducing pokies (Kirner) and tolls on Eastlink (Bracks after backflipping on the “no new toll roads” promise).

          Also, you’d think a quarter of a century (yes, Kennett left office 25 years ago) would be long enough to make a few changes, yet here we are as the state with the lowest spend on health per capita, lowest spend on education per capita, lowest proportion of public housing, highest debt-to-GSP ratio, and a completely ineffective anti-corruption body. Labor keeps granting extensions on toll roads to Transurban, allowing Crown to keep operating no matter how dodgy they are, and doing property developers favours. Yet we have the highest paid premier in the country.

          How long can you keep blaming Kennett for stuff neither party is interested in addressing? I have no coincidence in Victorian politicians at all.
