Ambulance Victoria board resigns
THE board of Ambulance Victoria has resigned after new Premier Daniel Andrews told them he would sack them if they didn't step down.
MR Andrews was sworn in as premier on Thursday and hours later sent a long-running pay dispute between paramedics and the state government to the Fair Work Commission.
"As promised, I'm putting this case in the hands of the independent umpire - it's the best way to get a fair decision," Mr Andrews said on Friday.
Mr Andrews wrote to the commission to say he had told the interim CEO of Ambulance Victoria to meet with the ambulance union and arrange a joint application.
The board resigned on Friday morning after Mr Andrews said he expected their resignations by the close of business.
"I have lost all confidence in the board of Ambulance Victoria," Mr Andrews said before Saturday's election.
A Labor spokesman said the board had resigned and an administrator would be appointed soon.

Losing an election with East West, rampant crime, surging power prices, union shenanigans and the red shirts rort & cover-up (for starters) as ammo says Guy has run an incompetent campaign, and points to him being an incompetent premier. But it says more about the decline of values and general apathy of Victorians.
Personally, am well placed to ride it out and won't be entertaining any complaints. Victoria, you deserve it.

But you're right, it's on the federal government's head to lead on energy reform.
Ah the sophisticated level of critical thought that comes to the conclusion that one team is all good and one all bad. Goodies vs badies :Ian4 said:
Personally, If I was a Victorian elector in Werribee, I'd be very tempted to vote for a truly independent mind, like Rachel Carling-Jenkins, to give a kick up the arse to the comfortable cosy arrangement the majors fall into with safe seats.
Sure she's unquestionably a socially conservative lady and tends to be a a bit too dogmatic on a couple of issues, that she is a fair way to the right of me on (I tend to sway a bit conservative on many social issues, but from a secular perspective, so tend to be a more pragmatic than she on these issues). But on a whole she is part of that Catholic Labour tradition (being a former member of the DLP), who make no secret that they hold traditional views on many topics, but still have the social justice conscience to make looking after the most vulnerable and quality of life for all, a priority. And she's an independent who I believe will always stick to her conscience.
I'm not in Victoria, so don't get the latest polling news. Is she actually any realistic shot of winning the seat she is running for in the lower house? That would be a turn up if the Treasurer was unseated.

thats the only argument they make when ironically the stats say the opposite. typical "Lieberal" scare campaign and Victorians have seen through it. mind you, thats pretty easy to do when they have no other policies. But at least L2R2R and I agree on one thing... that Guy has ran an incompetent campaign. but what else would you expect from an incompetent politician.

Been practically invisible during scandal after Labor scandal. He's left his run far too late, if he was a jockey you'd sack him. A quarter of the votes have been cast already. Has seemed almost as though he has something to hide.
