A damning new report, Operation Richmond, reveals how Daniel Andrews’ Victorian government spiraled into dysfunction — starting in 2016 when a top minister secretly negotiated a fire union deal behind the scenes, sidelining the CFA’s own leadership and weakening public accountability. Though no corruption was found, the investigation exposes dangerous patterns: political interference, silenced dissent, and blurred lines between public servants and power players — all while union boss Peter Marshall wielded extreme pressure and volatile temper, leaving staff traumatized and ministers scrambling to manage chaos. The report paints a troubling portrait of a government that prioritized political survival over public interest.
