I have a lifelong connection to Victoria’s state library – which is why I am aghast at its crude self-lobotomy | Gideon Haigh
If the ‘suits’ can come for the State Library of Victoria, they can come for anyone, and no public institution is safe

It shouldn’t be a crime to ask for help but in Victoria, it is.

That’s why today I’m second reading my bill to decriminalise begging.

It’s time for Victoria to adopt a public health response, which prioritises the safety and wellbeing of people who are begging.

Just heard host of AM on ABC refer to motorists “with range anxiety” in a story about testing EVs’ range. I think “motorists concerned about the range of EVs” is a better description. It’s not a pathology, or a mental illness. It’s a well-founded concern, deserving of accurate information.

I care about Parliamentary Behaviour because decency & professionalism is proper conduct. Fish rots from the head. Elected officials must change the disgusting rabble behaviour, it's unacceptable. It gives permission for people to behave in the same disgusting manner #auspol 🧵

Days before Trump's 28-point plan dropped, outlets tied to Rand Paul were already pushing the narratives to justify it.

Same senator blocked $40B in Ukraine aid in 2022 — and Ukraine accused him of spreading Russian propaganda.

Rand Paul’s media orbit keeps pushing Kremlin narratives. The 28-point plan is just the latest example.
From blocking aid to echoing the "peace plan," a pattern emerges

Longer than Euromaidan. Longer than Belarus before the crackdown.

The Liberal Party of Victoria despise investment in much needed Public Transport Infrastructure.

You only need to think back to the 1990’s when the then Liberal premier Jeff Kennett refused to access a full funding package from the Federal Government for a train line to their airport.

First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.
