Michael Kroger – Don’t believe the lies, just put the Greens last

Maurice Klein speaks with Michael Kroger, past-President of the Victorian Liberal Party for many years and is a prominent businessman, about his critical article in the Australian Jewish News, “Macnamara Voters Deserve Better Than A Scare Campaign”, that Josh Burns and Labor have initiated with a very deceptive false letterbox flyer on how to vote in Macnamara. The distinctive blue Liberal look-alike flyer attempts to convince the Macnamara voters that Liberal candidate Benson Saulo absolutely cannot win the seat and that the only way to prevent the divisive, hateful Greens from winning is to vote for Josh Burns. Revisiting the Macnamara voting stats for the last election and with Labor very much on the nose in Victoria, Michael Kroger dissects the current polling trends that show Benson Saulo clawing back the previous sizeable swing against the Liberals in the electorate with the likelihood of finishing with 40% of the first preferences, and Josh Burns with about 26-27% of the first preferences finishing 3rd and out of the running. Michael explains that the outcome is then very much dependent on who the Josh Burns voters preference as [2], and that if Burns was genuinely concerned about the Greens being successful in Macnamara, then Burns should have directed his [2] preference to go to his Liberal opponent and for the Greens to be put last. Alas, Josh Burns has chosen a gutless way out that has the potential for an ugly outcome in Macnamara. Michael provides us with his opinion on the recent social influencers "Pay for Favor" promotion of politicians that should have full disclosure and that the ACCC should review and amend all the laws to ensure “truth in political advertising”. We also hear about Michael's everlasting visit to Israel in January 2024, with some heartbreaking advice for everyone! Michael Kroger, TOTAL MENSCH! An opportunity to reply was offered to Adam Bandt MP Leader of the Greens, but no response has been received by the time of the broadcast.
