ANDREWS DENIES CLAIMS ABOUT POWER
■ Mulgrave MLA Daniel Andrews denies that power is centralised power is centralised in his office as Premier,. He made the denial last last week after an Indepedent Broad-basedAnti Corruption inquiry found a $1.2 million contract was awarded to a union due to pressure applied by State Government advisers. Mr Andrews said: “I don’t accept that at all. The notion that somehow the Premier’s office today is a vastly different one to what it used to be in the past and it used to be some sort of timid outfit – no, that is just not right. “I wouldn’t expect integrity agencies who run very sweeping and broad commentary to have any appreciation whatsoever of what occurred in previous Labor or Liberal governments.” He said his staff worked “together” with their counterparts in ministerial offices to “get things done”.
