Lunch at (non-traditional) Indian spot Tonka (20 Duckboard Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000). It's CBD but down a laneway so very little foot traffic. Had a pani puri & thali with lamb. Vietnamese mint in salad was unexpected. #MelbourneEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️

I'll just note this inquiry has noted that with 20/20 hindsight the UK should have acted... pretty much exactly as New Zealand did.
Which a good portion of NZ's media and political class have spent 5 revisionist years trying to paint as an overreaction. Overwhelmingly, it wasn't.

Auckland’s traffic is bad because we built all our houses in Massey and Papakura to avoid upsetting the inhospitable residents of our inner city suburbs thespinoff.co.nz/society/19-1...

Walked to Footscray for lunch at Bánh Xèo Tay Do Vietnamese Restaurant. Had the bánh khọt (mini cup pancake with prawn in centre) & Bánh bột lọc (tapioca dumpling with dried shrimp & crispy shallot). Worth the trip. #MelbourneEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️

Maybe don't keep announcing unaffordable trophy roads if you can't pay for them. Just a thought.
Hard choices lie ahead, Bishop says, as he explains funding the $56 billion in motorways promised by the Government would require a nearly 50c per litre lift in petrol taxes.
Transport Minister Chris Bishop says funding $56b in roads a 'challenge'

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

Tried the Crackling Pork (A$12) from Luke's Bánh Mì (Little Bourke St) which was delicious but messy to eat. The crackling which was partly pulverized went everywhere. #MelbourneEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️
