@KenMcAlpine It’s not all about Melbourne. Last time there was a Liberal State Government the unemployment rate in regional Victoria was 6.5%. After a decade of Labor it’s just 3.9%

More inconvenient facts for anyone trying to portray Victoria (or Melbourne) as some kind of rust bucket economy. Things are booming, employers are hiring, the state is growing.

Undo Fringe Benefits Tax? Nick Reece has gone full 80's Andrew Peacock with his latest policy.

@RangaRunner @Scootin_In In the myki pilot areas, Ballarat buses and I think Geelong too, there were single use disposable cards. A big heap of them were chucked out when we moved to multi-use paid cards.

Check out what Small Business Council of Tasmania chief Robert Mallett said about industrial manslaughter laws that just passed parliament....

@MartinPakula Yes No Great pictures though.

1. Has anyone seen Kevin Coster’s Horizon? 2. If yes, can anyone figure out what in hell was going on with that story line? Thanks in advance

Didn't see this coming: endorsement of Kamala Harris by John McCain reported in the Herals Sun today.

@RichardMarlesMP I reckon send the first couple off to Ukraine if they still need a hand.

Today, we officially opened the Hanwha facility in Geelong. At Hanwha we will see the construction of 28 self-propelled Howitzers and another 14 supply vehicles.

@davyddgriffiths That sentence could begin all kinds of ways… Obviously as a person with some common sense I’m a bit biased about issues like this - but the roll of local government should be to make life easier rather than harder for community sports clubs.

I love it when people don’t bother with headphones on a train. It’s the best.

@TheBackPocketAU Documentary on ‘89 GF. youtu.be/cHqafEsTRl8?si…

Have there ever been any good Football movies? Australian Rules is the only one I can think of, and that was good without being great. Surely we can make one good movie.

@jimmyraynes @AlboMP Ciggie ads were everywhere. They got banned, and the only thing that changed was there weren't any ads encouraging smoking. Commercial TV will be just fine without gambling ads.

On top of the crippling financial loss, online gambling results in poor mental health, suicide, family breakdown and domestic violence. I don't accept that that's a price we should be prepared to pay in order to prop up commercial TV ad revenue. Show some leadership, @AlboMP.

@Picketer @themiasandrist It was a fair assessment of Geoff Leigh

@Picketer @themiasandrist Prior to her election, Janice sold badges as a fundraiser. They said, 'I donated to Janice Munt because the other guy is a _ _ _ _.'

@Picketer Best person for the job ≠ BT

I love the people who stand right in front of the tram doors, blocking those trying to get off. They are the champions who slow it down for everyone.

@NStaikos I don't think Inga received enough credit for the Liberals' 2010 election win. Personally, I think she tipped the balance.

@m_will_o_wisp @GrogsGamut @kymtje They are on strike because they want a decent pay rise and Nine is offering a real pay cut. This has nothing to do with your issue with Nine. How about you show striking workers who are fighting against a real pay cut some support?

@GrogsGamut @kymtje I’d rather they were striking demanding “Independence. Always” instead of promoting the LNP like they all worked for it……oh wait

This will never be unfunny... Every time I watch it I burst in laughter 🤣

@ShaunLeaneMP David Cameron was never so lucky to be cleared by a fact check

Spectacular

Industrial manslaughter well on the way to becoming law in Tassie! A bill introduced by @TasmanianLabor and supported by @DavidOByrneMP @TasmanianGreens and @KrisJJohnston passed the lower house only a couple of hours ago 👏👏👏 #politas
