Bloody hell, Joan Kirner gets a Queen’s Birthday gong!
Former Queensland Labor premier Peter Beattie, ex-federal ministers Gareth Evans and Robert Hill and former Victorian premier Joan Kirner have been appointed Companions in the Order of Australia in the diamond jubilee year of Queen Elizabeth II.
She’s under challenge from Ted Baillieu, but she’s still clearly Victoria’s worst premier. Ever. And they reckon inflation is under control.

You’re wrong Bernie. No way was Joan Kirner Victoria’s worst ever premier, she was the fall guy/gal as she inherited a complete and utter mess given to her by her predecessor. John Cain.
