🐧 Victorian Independence Movement 🐧

All revolutions have their own colour or a symbol these days. So we love this idea - we'll be penguins. They might think we look a bit silly now, but we're actually tough and patient, we look after own own and there's millions of us. #Vexit

These people live in an alternate universe of their own construction.

Genuinely deranged framing. We need to make housing more affordable not less.

We told you this would happen. Affordability drives opportunity. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-2…

And yet it's the cheapest capital city to rent a house on the continent

And the small internal migration out of Melbourne goes in large part to regional Victoria. Overall state net interstate migration is flat.

There is a city in Australia that tens of thousands of people flee every year, but it's not Melbourne.

Anzac Day might just be an excuse to invent a bludge off work and piss up for Chris Minns and NSW. We're glad Victoria still marks the sacrifice and bravery as a proper memorial day.

Another Commonwealth failure. They intervened on behalf of the plaintiff in Vanderstock v Victoria and now they have squibbed the chance to create a national scheme. Once again Victorians pay the price.

You're hearing it more and more... smh.com.au/property/news/…

Sorry to hear your Ponzi scheme stopped working because Victoria chose to prioritise housing affordability instead of speculation. x.com/IHPvicInc/stat…

If you look at the chart, the real policy aspiration is Victoria. But good luck getting that printed in the Sydney Morning Herald - or The Age for that matter.

And yet this newspaper has spent the last eight years campaigning vociferously against a new railway line.

Hard times are here - again. We'll need to pull together. There'll be shortages and restrictions. You will experience disruption in your personal life. So if people from Sydney could try not acting like selfish, entitled turds this time around, that'd be great thanks.

Well well well...

New ABS population figures out today, what do you notice?

Greatest city on earth!

How dare the Victorian government make housing more affordable!

Actions have consequences.

National Accounts are out and Victoria is the second fastest growing state, while Queensland is the weakest. The economic narrative you see in the AFR and elsewhere is nonsense.

Penguin's Law: IF something happens in Melbourne that's actually standard for a city this size (crime, COVID, infra costs) but is blown out of all proportion for base political reasons ... THEN one year later that exaggerated version will manifest as reality in Sydney.
