Haaarrrgh. Now there's a scenario I'd just love to see. Politicians and political parties setting up any sort of system where they could ever be held accountable for anything more serious than an unfortunate wet fart. Their standards n systems are so loose even a volcanic eruption could pass through without touching the sides.
So what has he to hide? You didn’t read it no doubt. It’s a Supreme Court judgement he is fighting.
I can’t read that story because it is behind the Murdoch paywall and I am not giving him one cent of my money.
Daniel Andrews refused to be drawn on why he is resisting a Supreme Court order to hand over his mobile phone records from the day of a near-fatal 2013 car crash with a teenage cyclist.
Why is the Supreme Court requesting it from him? If there was a police investigation or such thing then law enforcement can get the information from the provider?
Lawyers for Ryan Meuleman, who was 15 when he was struck by the Andrews’ family SUV in Blairgowrie, are seeking to establish who Mr Andrews spoke to – and when – amid concerns of interference in the collision’s aftermath.
This doesn’t say anything about the Supreme Court, it is the lawyers.Lawyers for Ryan Meuleman, who was 15 when he was struck by the Andrews’ family SUV in Blairgowrie, are seeking to establish who Mr Andrews spoke to – and when – amid concerns of interference in the collision’s aftermath.
Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Brett Curran, Mr Andrews’ chief of staff at the time of the incident, has declined to clarify if he received a call from the then-opposition leader from the crash scene.
Police documents show Mr Andrews did not call triple-0 until 1.10pm on January 7, 2013.
The crash is estimated to have happened four minutes earlier, at 1.06pm.
Paramedics’ records reveal that a triple-0 operator had already notified Ambulance Victoria of the emergency at 1.08pm after being alerted by a call from a nearby resident.
Former Assistant Commissioner for Traffic and Operations Raymond Shuey estimated it would have taken up to a minute for the triple-0 operator to process the notification through to Ambulance Victoria.
Dr Shuey said there was likely to have been another minute’s lag between the crash and the call being made. So he estimated the collision probably happened at 1.06pm.

Dr Shuey, now an expert witness for the Meuleman family, asked: “What happened in those four missing minutes between the crash and Andrews’ call?”
In sworn statements to police, Mr Andrews and his wife Catherine, who was the driver, said he had “immediately” called triple-0 for an ambulance.
Mr Meuleman said: “A neighbour called the moment she heard the crash. So what was Andrews waiting for? What the hell was he doing in those four minutes?”
Mr Meuleman said the family had also obtained a statement from Ridley St resident Brad Morgan, who was in his front yard when the crash occurred, saying: “I heard the squeal of tyres then an almighty bang, followed by screams of pain.”
From what I saw on the news, it showed that the union had voted and accepted the new deal of 20% over 4 years. So that big fat pay rise will flow into every construction contract that has CFMEU workers on it as soon as it's ratified by the department that checks the awards are legal. Every unfinished and unstarted big build job just got a hell of a lot more expensive.
People should be banned for 12 months for putting up ghastly photos like these. Where's the mods?
Get with the program Antman,CFMEU say jump and all the Labor departments say how high.
