THE Andrews Government has confirmed it doesn’t care about ­regional Victorians. If it had a policy of ruining their lives, I would congratulate the government on a marvellous job.

The government won’t let farmers use water in a time of drought, are putting new gold mines out of business with taxes, and now plans to put hundreds of people in the timber industry out of work. To top it off, it is restricting tourism by locking people out of public land.
