He has stood the test.
He is experienced, an MP for 16 yrs, incl a Minister
Guy is the man for a fresh, honest start for Victoria

@ProbablyScience Uranus 90 degree tilt to the rest of the solar system may have been caused by a satellite just a thousandth the mass of Uranus migrating away at a drift rate comparable to our Moon’s current orbital expansion. astronomy.com/news/2022/10/a…
