As a 40-year ALP member, I now question party’s integrity

Two letters to The Age express deep dissatisfaction with the Victorian Labor government's handling of various issues. The first letter, from Gary March, a long-time Labor member, criticizes the party's refusal to establish a royal commission into the 'Big Build' project, arguing that existing oversight mechanisms are inadequate and that the decision reflects poor judgment and lack of integrity. The author calls for immediate action to restore public trust. The second letter, from Jean Ker Walsh, focuses on Premier Jacinta Allan's potential resignation and the threat to Victoria's Treaty with First Nations people, which was recognized as a significant historical achievement. Walsh argues that replacing Allan with a coalition government led by Jess Wilson could jeopardize the Treaty and supports maintaining the commitment to Indigenous rights.

Bias read (Progressive): The letters frame the criticism of the Labor government as a betrayal of core values like integrity and accountability, using strong language to condemn the government's actions. They emphasize the importance of the Treaty with First Nations people as a moral and historical milestone, suggesting a左翼
