James Merlino

Andy Gowers has penned his first letter to members as President of Hawthorn. 💛 hawthornfc.com.au/news/1258713

@philltee @Hawks4Change Hi Phill, my parliamentary career comes to an end this Saturday. As will any political commentary on social media. I won’t do it because we need a united club. I’m putting my hand up to serve @HawthornFC & only do what’s right for HFC. It’s now up to you and every Member. Cheers

@Hawks4Change He is correct. Serious question - we know Kennett’s tweeting of Politics has impacted and divided members of the club … will @JamesMerlinoMP cease to comment on Politics via his Twitter and social media accounts if elected as a Director? Need to know before I cast my vote.

"Football clubs: That's the place where you don't want politics. It's actually one of the beautiful things about AFL clubs. Everything is unimportant because we all love the Hawthorn Football Club." - James Merlino hawksforchange.org/james-merlino-…

And here’s how you can vote for positive change @HawthornFC hawksforchange.org/how-to-vote

For all the @HawthornFC Members out there, voting starts today! Keep a look out on your email. Here’s my speech at a @Hawks4Change rally this week. hawksforchange.org/james-merlino-…

HAWKS MEMBERS. Tomorrow is the moment you get to use your vote to take back control of your great club. 🤎💛🦅

8. Meanwhile, the Libs are going to start fracking again. Say goodbye to Caulfield, Kew, Hawthorn, Brighton, Bellarine, South Barwon…

@HawksInsiders Thanks for the opportunity @HawksInsiders, I enjoyed the chat. From the 18th November, it’s up to the Members to decide…

Board candidate and renown politician @JamesMerlinoMP gave us his to time so that we could pick his brain on all the big talking points heading into the upcoming election. #details" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hawksinsiders.substack.com/p/the-agm-file…

I think today’s story, and the fact that it’s been pushed by at least one Liberal staffer, will actually assist the Premier. It will serve as a reminder to everyone of the unholy alliance between anti vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, Sky After Dark commentators & the Liberal Party

@MartinPakulaMP Absolutely Martin. This “story” is an utter disgrace

I’m screenshotting this rather than linking because seriously? Three weeks out from an election, we’re being treated to a re-heat of bullshit conspiracy theories about where Daniel broke his back? Any journo who follows this tomorrow - stick your neck out and allege something.

Em and I at Frankston watching the last @HawthornFC home game of the season. Great first year in #AFLW Hawks!

So let’s talk about @theage. (wee🧵) They launch this whole state election coverage palava called “Victoria’s Agenda” where they aspire to write on issues that Victorians care about. Two of them being “reducing greenhouse gas emissions” and “reducing the cost of living”. 1/7

We're putting Victorians back in control of our energy supply. Here's how:

It's not fair that big companies control our power supply and bills skyrocket. So we're going to set up a government-owned power company to drive down bills. It'll put the power back in the hands of Victorians. And it'll be 100% renewable.

Today, we cement Victoria as a global climate action leader. We’re bringing forward our net zero target to 2045 and slashing our emissions by 75-80% by 2035 – one of the most ambitious targets in the world.

CEOs united: mental health sector CEOs in joint support of Mental Health and Wellbeing Act. Read the joint statement on our news page: mhvic.org.au/news/546-ceos-… @VicGovAu @GabbyWilliamsMP @DanielAndrewsMP @JamesMerlinoMP

Only last Monday I had the pleasure of attending the opening of Deanside Primary & Interim Kindergarten with @JamesMerlinoMP I never thought a week later I would get the opportunity to be Minister for Education. It was a teacher who inspired me to get involved in politics… 🧵

It’s a great honour to be elected Deputy Premier by my caucus colleagues. I look forward working alongside @DanielandrewsMP and our caucus to deliver for all Victorians #springst

You might have heard….I have some news. premier.vic.gov.au/statement-jame…
