The Dark Legacy of Daniel Andrews

Publisher's Description:
The Dark Legacy of Daniel Andrews examines the aftermath of Victoria's 48th premier, who ruled from 2014 to 2023.

Daniel Andrews was not just a successful electoral politician; he fundamentally reshaped institutions, centralised power in the premiers’ office, and exercised untrammelled authority over the state. Andrews' legacy is one of a political leader preoccupied with the pursuit of power and political expediency, and running the "the most progressive government" in Australia. The result is immense public sector bloat, out-of-control white-elephant infrastructure projects, extraordinary public debt, hostility to basic personal and political freedoms, and an ideologically-driven breakdown of the education and energy systems.

Recording what happened to Victoria is key to restoring good government – and reveals to all Australians the danger of going down the same dark path.
