Dear Editor,

Young Victorian Liberal Opposition Leader Jess Wilson and her Liberal colleagues’ so very humorous lost Commonwealth Games video sendup of Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan’s great mess, costing Victorian taxpayers almost $600 million, is right on the money.

Young Jess seems to have heeded Moliere’s, “The most effective way to tackle vice is to expose it to public ridicule. People can put up with rebukes, but they can’t bear being laughed at: they are prepared to be wicked, but they dislike appearing ridiculous.”

Savvy young Jess & Co have certainly done that to Jacinta Allan and Victorian Labor!
