I don't know why they say Joan Kirner was popular.
I remember the rallies demanding an election.
I remember the worst drubbing in memory of Labor in an election.
Her incompetence was legendary from the scratch cards, bringing in the pokies, putting traffics lights on the freeway build (which the next government had to fix) and such poor management that the Prime Minister of the time (Paul Keating) made some nasty comments.

To me shall will always be badly remembered because she never said sorry for what whe did to the State of Victoria..
 
I don't think it was Joan Kirner that had Victoria in crisis. I am pretty sure the Labor Party had already done enough damage before she became el Presidente'

and what do you know ... Wikipedia agrees with me:-

I googled "Achievements for Joan Kirner" ... BLANK

I googled "De mortuis nil nisi bonum" and came up with

"about the dead, good things or nothing", meaning that we should remember and talk about the ones who died with respect, or not at all.

And yet those Romans wrote extensive biographies, often damning their emperors. White-washing history is as bad as changing history...shades of Orwell. We should show respect but we should be honest about it.

Not me that said it ... blame google. (on her achievements list)

Wikipedia was the source for how bad LABOR had run Victoria prior to Joan Kirner becoming the top dog. She was put in as a patsy premier as no one else wanted the job as they knew how bad things were in the electorate.
