I’m sure news that he will no longer be leader of the Victorian Liberals will come as a relief to Brad
The opposition leader was informed by a delegation of MPs that he had lost the support of the party room, less than 12 months into his tenure as leader and just over a year out from the state election.

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

What’s actually “disappointing” is the fact your party is responsible for funding these services and is choosing not to.
Either fund these services or run them publicly. Don’t complain on Instagram about your own failure to do either of these things.
Pathetic.

This decision by the Victorian government risks increased:
- Motor accidents & fatalities
- Agricultural & garden destruction
- Disease transmission
- Environmental harm & species extinctions
- Harm to culturally significant sites
All to appease the hunting lobby!

Why Victoria has rejected calls to stop protecting feral deer
Victoria is the only mainland state that lists deer as a protected game species, rather than a feral pest to be managed.

Awesome to have voted out the party that loudly gives no shits about the environment and climate in favour of the part that quietly gives no shits about the environment and climate
“The environment minister wants to pass a major re-write of federal nature laws this year, encouraging miners to lobby the Coalition to work with Labor to help rush it through parliament in the final three sitting weeks”
Just contemplate that sentence.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has joined the growing chorus of voices who say the federal government's 5% deposit scheme is short-sighted when it comes to controlling house prices. That's the RBA using Treasury's modelling to tell the government to reconsider its housing fix.

Fun fact: Doctor Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, close friend of Trump and RFK Jr., and self-admitted fraudulent supplement huckster, sells multiple forms of leucovorin through his supplement company, iHerb, which he didn’t divest when taking his federal gov role.
Anyway watch the stocks of whoever has the patent of leucovorin go up after the announcement. That’s all this is. Promoting Leucovorin so adults force their kids to ingest it to “cure their autism”.
But what is Leucovorin and why are they claiming it cures autism? 👇

It’s about control, regardless of the harm that might come to the mother or child
So Trump and RFK Jr, who have never been pregnant, declare that pregnant women should just suffer if they have a high fever or are in pain because… why?
Wait for it: no data, no facts, nothing.

I grew up in a Melbourne where houses didn’t need aircon, where a fan got you through the occasional hot day. That lifestyle was on tragic display during the 2009 heatwave.

Those of us in emergency med need to be more judicious about cutting off clothing.
There’s a time for it.
But your unhoused patient’s bra is probably the only one they have. If they can sit up, move without c spine concerns, and are hemodynamically stable, remove it the normal way.
