Moments ago, @JohnKennedyMP graciously called to offer me congratulations on the Hawthorn result. I pay tribute to John for representing our community over the last four years in Parliament; and I warmly acknowledge his dedication and work for the people of this electorate. JP

- If a company threatened an employee with dismissal for making or supporting an Ombudsman/IBAC referral, it would likely be an offence. ALP caucus rules mandating or threatening expulsion in such a case may or may not offend the law, but they offend the principles of integrity. JP
- Many thanks Martin, as have you (and your staff). Congratulations to you and your Party on your success tonight. Cheers, JPJohn Pesutto and I have disagreed about almost everything for the last 4 years. But he has always maintained a personal civility and decency that I admire, and have appreciated. If he has been defeated in Hawthorn it’s a great loss to the Liberal Party.
- The Andrews Government’s decision to scrap the 2026 Commonwealth Games is a massive humiliation for Victoria. This decision is a betrayal of regional Victoria and confirms that Victoria is broke and Labor simply cannot manage major projects without huge cost blowouts. JP
- It was humbling to attend today’s declaration of the Hawthorn poll. I’m grateful to the people of Hawthorn for the honour of representing them in Parliament. It was also a pleasure to exchange gifts with my friend and colleague, @JohnKennedyMP. JP
- The reality is Daniel Andrews is leaving now because things are falling apart in Victoria and he knows it. Under Daniel Andrews, Victoria is broke and life has got harder for every Victorian. JP #springst
00:00 - On the @WorkSafe_Vic decision to prosecute only the DoH over hotel quarantine, just for context, here's what the Government said in October 2019 about the accountability of individual officers (eg, senior officials and directors) under its own workplace manslaughter bill. JP
- The truth is catching up with the Andrews Government. JP #springst #Auspol2023 #auspol 📸 - @TripleMMelb
00:00 - Today we witnessed a dark day for democracy in Victoria. Today former IBAC Commissioner and highly-respected former Supreme Court judge Robert Redlich gave scathing evidence to the Vic Parliament’s Integrity and Oversight Committee about Premier Andrews and his misconduct.
- The Hotel Quarantine Inquiry must be reopened with witnesses being recalled and the forensic rigour conspicuously missing from the initial hearings on full display. Each concession, after stubborn and emphatic denials, betrays a collective and tacit effort to hide the truth. JP
- Things cost what they cost according to the Premier. No wonder Victoria is broke under Labor. JP
00:00 - The reports on corruption in the Andrews Government continue to grow. How much longer can the Premier continue? Because you can’t be the problem and also be the solution. JP
00:00 - Daniel Andrews’ story about the Commonwealth Games is unravelling. He can’t remember the lies he’s told. The Games were a con job. He says the buck stops with him but he’s now throwing public servants under the bus. JP
- We have asked the Victorian Auditor General’s Office for an urgent investigation to reveal the true extent of costs incurred by taxpayers as a result of the cancellation of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. JPVictoria's decision to cancel the 2026 Commonwealth Games could cost taxpayers a billion dollars. Confronted by protesters, the Premier says the number is still being negotiated, as officials in London came out swinging. @_Stephanderson #9News
