Vic premier not fussed about criticism VICTORIAN Premier Ted Baillieu has hit back at criticism of his leadership by former premier Jeff Kennett urging the ex-Liberal leader to "let go." Mr Kennett, a friend of Mr Baillieu, said the coalition government were not good communicators, and the premier himself was not comfortable with the media. "It comes to a broader point and that is the ability of the government to sell its message," Mr Kennett told Fairfax radio on Thursday. Mr Baillieu said he disagreed with Mr Kennett and urged him to take the advice he gave Qantas chief Alan Joyce. "My advice is: Jeff take your own advice," Mr Baillieu told Fairfax radio on Friday. I think his basic proposition was 'you gotta let go'. Asked if he believed numbers were being counted against him, Mr Baillieu said he will be getting on with the job. "In politics there's always someone biting at your ankles," he said. On speculation that Planning Minister Matthew Guy was being touted as future leader, Mr Baillieu said he had been reading that story for five or six years. Asked if he believed Mr Guy was loyal to him, Mr Baillieu said he believed Mr Guy was doing a "fantastic" job. I have no questions about Matthew or anyone else. We're getting on with the job. I'm not fussed. Mr Baillieu later said he highly respected what Mr Kennett did as premier but he was not always right. "Jeffrey did a fantastic job as premier, we respect him, he had lots of different opinions, he's not always right," he told reporters. But the premier conceded there was room to improve communication. "We can always do better at communication, we acknowledge that and we seek to do that at every opportunity," he said.
