Build missing links.
Melbourne🇦🇺: we have strategic cycling corridors (with no cycling infrastructure), Principal Bicycle network of lines on roads that cars can
Park over. And so many missing links like the #Upfieldbikepath extension.

Wills Labor MP @peterkhalilmp.bsky.social missing his job interviews. Absent from Fawkner candidates forum. He has missed 4 out of 5 candidate forums so far. This is an attendance fail rate.

All good, but if you could please tackle the $14 billion pa in #fossilfuel subsidies.
And all the beer drinkers raise more revenue in beer excise than the Gas companies contribute in Petroleum Resource Rental Tax. The Government is definitely doing something greatly wrong.

Dear @peterkhalilmp.bsky.social I hope you got my phone msg on amending the EPBC Act on Friday.
Labor hasn’t even reformed national environment laws as promised in 2022, now you are carving out exemptions for salmon farming. That sets a precedence for other sector demands… #Auspol #Willsvotes

We attended rally for the #Forests yesterday outside Labor MP Peter Khalil’s Office in Coburg. Federal Labor have failed to remove Regional Forestry agreements from overriding National Conservation law, as well as failure to reform EPBC Act (2022 promise).

That reminds me, I need to give feedback to Northern Health - no acknowledgement for cataract surgery waiting list (either text or mail). Caused angst and extra work, including contacting my State MP. But thankful surgery now completed. I Upgraded from pirate🏴‍☠️ eye patch to Blues Brothers sunglasses😎

It’s 11.31pm and the temperature in my west facing bedroom is 30.4C. I have had the shutters closed all day. Climate change and the urban heat island is delivering more hot insufferable nights.

It’s after 10pm and 32C in Fawkner, so we went out and had street crepes at North Coburg
More frequent hot nights with climate change that amplifies the urban heat island effect.
