Blatantly Partisan Party Review I (Victoria 2022): Angry Victorians Party

Prior review: federal 2022 (as the Australian Values Party)

What I said before: ��such is the character of a man who has decided to call his party Australian Values, which I can only conclude is either a piss-take or a reflection of a very warped idea of ‘values’.”

What I think this election: Heston Russell—the ex-military controversy magnet mentioned in the quote above—founded the Australian Values Party to contest the federal election back in May. The state branch is the Angry Victorians Party. Someone somewhere is very pleased with themselves that these both abbreviate to AVP.

If this off-putting name immediately made you assume this party is for the most cantankerous and disagreeable people in the state, then you're on the right track. Its members include Catherine Cumming, a regressive bigot and anti-vax protester who was elected to the Legislative Council for Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party in 2018 and got disendorsed before she was even sworn in.

You won’t have much trouble guessing what the Angry Victorians Party is angry about. Yup, this is an anti-lockdowns party. They want legislation to restrict emergency powers but at no point indicate how they would have approached the pandemic or what general framework they think is appropriate for government responses to crises. They want politicians to be personally liable for their actions which is obviously code for “jail Daniel Andrews”. Politicians are accountable for their actions at the ballot box and can be prosecuted for offences in office; what these angry idiots want is to expand liability in ways that are implausible or dysfunctional in terms of cabinet government or parliamentary democracy and to have their vexatious legal demands legitimised.

The AVP’s small business policy is also really about lockdowns. They want business owners to be able to “assess and accept the relative risks for their own business, staff and families”. Yes, that’s right, bosses will make decisions for their workers. Got a shithead angry boss who wants to force you to work during a pandemic before there are vaccines or effective treatments? The AVP thinks this is fine and they would have risked your health during 2020. This is a contemptuous policy.

Even the AVP’s policies that have good aspects are flawed. They want to decriminalise marijuana and invest in suicide prevention, but this is as part of “broader alternative and natural mental health treatments”. Given the company they keep, it simply makes me wonder what snake oil they are happy to swallow.

The name is apt: this is just kneejerk anger without solutions.

My recommendation: Give the Angry Victorians Party a weak or no preference. Remember to vote below the line on the large ballot for the Legislative Council so that your preference goes where you want it to go; all ballots with 5 or more preferences marked below the line are valid votes.

This wasn't just sloppy reporting by the ABC -- It was deliberate journalistic corruption by a failed public broadcaster with no standards or ethics that costs tax payers 1.4 billion dollars a year.

Olivia de Havilland and Montgomery Clift in The Heiress (William Wyler, 1949)

Cast: Olivia de Havilland, Montgomery Clift, Ralph Richardson, Miriam Hopkins, Vanessa Brown, Betty Linley, Ray Collins, Mona Freeman, Selena Royle, Paul Lees, Harry Antrim, Russ Conway, David Thursby. Screenplay: Ruth Goetz, Augustus Goetz, based on their play suggested by a novella by Henry James. Cinematography: Leo Tover. Production design: Harry Horner. Film editing: William Hornbeck. Music: Aaron Copland.

With 12 Oscar nominations and three wins for directing, William Wyler holds a firm place in the history of American movies. But not without some grumbling on the part of auteur critics like Andrew Sarris, who observed, "Wyler's career is a cipher as far as personal direction is concerned." His movies were invariably polished and professionally made, but if what you're looking for is some hint of personality behind the camera, the kind that Alfred Hitchcock or Howard Hawks or John Ford displayed no matter what the subject matter of the film, then Wyler is an enigma. His most personal film, The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), grew out of his wartime experiences, but they are subsumed in the stories he has to tell and not revealed with any assertively personal point of view on them. And anyone who can trace a Wylerian personality latent in movies as varied as Mrs. Miniver (1942), Roman Holiday (1953), Ben-Hur (1959), and Funny Girl (1968) has a subtler analytical mind than mine. What they have in common is that they are well made, the work of a fine craftsman if not an artist. The other thing they have in common is that they won Oscars for their stars: Greer Garson, Audrey Hepburn, Charlton Heston, and Barbra Streisand, respectively. The Heiress, too, won an Oscar for its star, Olivia de Havilland, suggesting that in Wyler we have a director whose virtue lay not in his personal vision but in his skill at packaging, at arranging a showcase not just for performers -- he also directed Oscar-winning performances by Bette Davis in Jezebel (1938) and by Fredric March and Harold Russell in The Best Years of Our Lives -- but also for production designers, costume designers, composers, and cinematographers: Oscars for The Heiress went to John Meehan, Harry Horner, and Emile Kuri for art direction and set decoration, to Edith Head and Gile Steele for costumes, and to Aaron Copland for the score, and Leo Tover was nominated for his cinematography. Wyler lost the directing Oscar to Joseph L. Mankiewicz for A Letter to Three Wives, but is there any doubt that The Heiress would have been a lesser film than it is without Wyler's guidance? All of this is a long-winded way to say that although I honor, and in many ways prefer, the personal vision that shines through in the works of directors like Hitchcock, Hawks, Ford, et al., there is room in my pantheon for the skilled if impersonal professional. As for The Heiress itself, it's a satisfying film with two great performances (de Havilland's Catherine and Ralph Richardson's Dr. Sloper), one hugely entertaining one (Miriam Hopkins's Lavinia Penniman), and one sad miscasting: Montgomery Clift's Morris Townsend. It's a hard role to put across: Morris has to be plausible enough to persuade not only Catherine but also the somewhat more worldly Lavinia that he is genuinely in love with Catherine and not just her money, but he also needs to give the audience a whiff of the cad. Clift's Morris is too callow, too grinningly eager. There is no ambiguity in the performance. If we like Morris too much, we risk seeing Dr. Sloper more as an over-stern paterfamilias and less as the cruelly self-absorbed man he is. Richardson's fine performance goes a long way to righting this imbalance, but he's fighting Clift's sex appeal all the way.
