Brumby's credibility will be the issue

Like most labor polys later in the year, the leaders ability to manage OUR MONEY will be a major election issue.
Whether they can do/ are doing anything about anything is another matter . Public opinion is not a reliable guide here, so I am just listing areas:
Where the government is actually failing to act credibly .
The cancer of careless reactivity is the key TO THEIR STUPIDITY . Unfortunately the public want government to be active,  BUT the cost of failure to act wisely prevents proactivity . Failure at the local level ( schools having to justify their curriculums for eg) will be the key to whether Labor can hold onto power .

BIG REACTIVITY
Like Rudd , they have rushed out to solve the latest crisis ( water ) and ended up making us pay BIG in our rates . As if noone would notice )
BIG TAX Unlike the feds ,Victoria doesn't sem to have a Barnaby Joyce to remind them that all they do is create more tax and a greater public burden
BIG ADS treating us to more nanny stuff. " Have you put your jumper on - its cold out there ".
BIG SMACKS The woosy dummies in labor seats allow Hull s to do what he like with education and his wild weeding out policies. Policies that,  like Gillards,  will leave only expensive and unworkable monuments to upset many school boards ( not something to do to the labor vote). Hulls thinks targeting" the religious" is targeting tiny - big mistake !
BIGGER CURE DEPARTMENTS
Emergency management . As Bushfire showed , the government allow the blossoming emerging services to grow without making sure they work when they are needed ( several days a year). Neither Fed nor state labor seem to realize that its not just about money .
Its HOW you use our money.
