#VicLibs have moved to mitigate their national women probs by electing #JessWilson to lead them. Good choice putting an ex-KMPG consultant in the top shadow job, one of the Big Four firms intricately entwined in (sometimes dodgy) government policy and the revolving door of jobs for mates. #auspol

Labor is burnt out at both ends in #Victoria and #OneNation is simply not fit to deny the Coalition, under #JessWilson, the opportunity to "have a bat" and win government.

And if Victorians, including all the left leaning types have any brains, they will give "centrist" Wilson a go.

Besides law and order and the economy, the one issue which will have a HUGE bearing on the outcome of #vicvotes will be #AIDATACENTRES.

#BenCarroll and Labor are reading the mood of the electorate well. #JessWilson and Coalition will likely lose the election if they aren't equally on the same page.
Victoria was ‘ruthless’ in its quest to become the datacentre capital of Australia. Why has it hit the brakes?
With community concerns about datacentres becoming impossible to ignore, the state Labor government has changed course

For #Victoria' s sake, let's hope that the "centrist & pragmatic" #JessWilson & the Coalition triumphs at #vicvotes, and not a burnt out, lacklustre, incompetent Labor government, led now by a "right wing crony", or this motley crew #OneNation is putting up.

#BenCarroll' s "coup like" overthrow of #JacintaAllan to become #Victoria 's leader& premier is a "wake up call" to #JessWilson and "pragmatic conservatives" within the Victorian LNP to stay focused, switched on & not become "One Nation lite" & let this jackass fall on his own sword.

ONE NATION in #Victoria in all likelihood will attain "kingmaker status" on the night of the election in November.

Because the Liberals, led by #JessWilson, like Labor under #BenCarroll, can't win on their own.
