@vline_bendigo The next train will be a nightmare with all the metro avoiders getting on at Sunbury - with the number of regional commuters rising why does V/Line keep allowing this? Particularly with trains departing Southern Cross, they take seats on crowded services.

The 07:54 Kyneton - Southern Cross service will not run today. More information at vline.com.au

🚨🇺🇸 Close up clip of boat hitting structure of Francis Scott Baltimore Bridge. It’s almost as if the boat was steered to hit the bridge gantry head on?

@vline_bendigo watching people pour off the train at Sunbury on a packed train tonight is absurd. Trains should NOT STOP at Sunbury when they coincidence with big football games. Some of us use this line to actually travel to regional areas not save time on metro service.

@pjcorlett @vline_bendigo On the vic emergency app the incident at Macedon has just changed to complete so should be back soon

@vline_bendigo No update in over an hour?

Service Update: Due to an emergency services request, there will be train alterations and cancellations impacting the journey between Southern Cross and Bendigo. Please anticipate delays of up to 90 minutes. More information at vline.com.au

@vline_bendigo Understand the issue but it’s a dogs breakfast in Sunbury - no signs, no staff helping, coaches mixed in with local buses and many running express to specific towns. People are scrambling between buses trying to figure out which one to catch - really bad organisation

I'm curious. When it comes to your #contentmarketing which do you think is most important (and yes, I know it's going to be hard to choose one 😎):

@Raf_Epstein What a remarkable interview. Thank you to you and to Richard.

Listen to this. 51 years old. Had his first jab. Went to the MCG footy with a mate. Caught the virus and nearly died. Only got out of ICU early this week. Riveting. One of the most remarkable conversations I've ever had abc.net.au/radio/melbourn…

@abcmelbourne Lucky to have a dog park at all. @YarraCouncil has plenty of parks but zero dedicated dog parks in Richmond. Current spaces are shared with park users and sport and lack proper fencing which is a major safety issue. And they didn't apply for available Vic Govt grants :(

Is this the worst dog park in Melbourne? 🐕 West Melbourne dog owners, including Anthony, are campaigning for a better one 🐾 #SammyJ #Breakfast

@_crazydude619_ @AndrewGilmour11 @DanielAndrewsMP Not sure I follow your hypothetical, so back to my original point. Walking for exercise alone outdoors socially distanced shouldn't require a mask, at most to carry one and be required to put it on if social distancing can't be maintained.

@AndrewGilmour11 @jillianbowen @DanielAndrewsMP So let's have this hypothetical. If a crowd of people are inside they have to wear a mask, but if the same crowd of people are outside. The virus has a lower chance of passing but this doesn't make masks useless.

@JonoPLawson @MikeTho88035737 @DanielAndrewsMP Very true. Maybe my trust in this government is low. But I think when the rules don't make sense, it's okay to push for more explanation and justification. If they can give me the facts, I'll step up and change my position.

@MikeTho88035737 @jillianbowen @DanielAndrewsMP I think a reasonable point is that if a lot of people think it’s bs then compliance will be low so there is an effort needed to better explain why.

@mathewdevanny @Euphoraz @_davecooley @DanielAndrewsMP Sadly, I'm not a rule breaker in general. I believe in a lot of what we are doing, and I don't think it's fair not to do the right thing when others are. But I do think rules should be there because they have a health benefit, not just because they are the 'easiest'.

@JonoPLawson @MikeTho88035737 @DanielAndrewsMP That's a completely reasonable opinion. But that would mean a lot of things that have been allowed shouldn't be happening because they are a lot riskier.

@MikeTho88035737 @jillianbowen @DanielAndrewsMP Well you know what the consequence of it spreading again is. I’d rather minimise the community risk vs a small impingement on my personal freedoms.

@SeanMaths4EAL @DanielAndrewsMP My whole point is I can walk my dog, exercise and social distance. There is significantly more risk from having a guest in my house.

@Euphoraz @mathewdevanny @_davecooley @DanielAndrewsMP If that was the case we wouldn't be allowed to drink at all if driving and people over a certain age would not be allowed to use ladders. I've followed EVERY rule and then some, but at some point you have to let people live and focus on the rule breakers.

@jillianbowen @mathewdevanny @_davecooley @DanielAndrewsMP Yes. That's how we work as a society. We are only as fast as our slowest person.

@JonoPLawson @DanielAndrewsMP So make people carry them at all times. I understand your point but I believe people will be more likely to do the right then when it's really necessary if the rules make sense.

@jillianbowen @DanielAndrewsMP I empathise with your logic, however, you wear it so if you do need it it’s already on. No different to wearing personal protective equipment (Eg hearing protection) in an industrial facility. Most places you don’t need it (not all is noisy) , but when you do it’s already on.

@_davecooley @DanielAndrewsMP My whole point is you don't need to wear it when exercising by running or riding a bike but you do if you are exercising walking.

@jillianbowen @DanielAndrewsMP You don't need to wear a mask while exercising.

@_davecooley @DanielAndrewsMP Ah yes you do - last time I checked, walking is a form of exercise.

@Cassie_goods @DanielAndrewsMP There is none. It just "the simplest and easiest rule".

@DanielAndrewsMP What is the health advice and risk assessment showing masks are still required in outdoor settings?

@DanielAndrewsMP You are full of it. "It is the simplest and easiest rule". That is not a health benefit.
