Is he the guy that wants the homeless to occupy empty homes? It would be better for you to supply tents and sleeping bags instead of plunder existing resources which are not yours #springst

Make voting non-compulsory then #springst

I wonder what made Infrastructure Australia change their mind/priority for the SRL. Was it under the table money? Incompetence? Another reason? #springst

The cost will be passed on to the buyer like in the ACT, knowingly or unknowingly #springst

I'm tempted to do a Pauline ("p*ss off back to Mauritius, Babet").

But I'm better than that ... 😏

Victorian Liberals censor statements amid fiery preselection contest Liberal party MPs and insiders have been infuriated by the publishing of a preselection candidate's blistering statement about a veteran MP.

The Victorian Liberal Party has had to republish and censor statements from upper house candidates in a hotly contested preselection after a challenger to senior MP Bev McArthur accused her of being "unempathetic, unprofessional, irresponsible".

Building and pest reports to be mandatory with home owners to foot bill The Victorian government says it will make home sellers pay for building and pest inspections rather than home buyers if it wins this year's state election in November.

The Allan government said it would establish the mandatory building and pest inspections scheme in consultation with the ACT, which was the only place in Australia that had such a scheme.

Victoria’s wildlife pays the price for Labor’s bushfire failures After devastating bushfires, critics say the Allan Government has abandoned wildlife rescue efforts while allowing hunting to continue.

VIC GOVT'S TRACK RECORD ON ANIMALS

Australian wildlife can't vote in our upcoming Victorian elections.

If they could, would they vote for the Allan Labor government?

A screenshot from The Sydney Morning Herald piece by Nick McKenzie on alleged $15 billion scam in Victorian building industry

3 weeks after Age / Nick McKenzie‘s piece on alleged $15 billion scam levelled at Jacinta Allen every media org followed Age / McKenzie’s lead - but with their own due diligence? It’s all quiet now 🤔

A $15b scam would have brought down a government in days so I call BS on that number

Victorian pharmacists to provide the pill without doctor’s script Benita Kolovos Benita Kolovos Victorian women will soon be able to get the contraceptive pill from the chemist without a prescription, the premier, Jacinta Allan, has announced. At a press conference this morning, she announced from July, Victoria’s Chemist Care Now program will be expanded to allow access to the oral contraceptive pill without a prescription at 850 pharmacies across the state. The program currently allows pharmacists to provide only a month’s supply of oral contraceptives if the patient presents an old prescription or the medication box they used previously. Allan said pharmacists involved in the program will need to complete a postgraduate training module. They will also be required to undertake a thorough consultation with patients, outline any risks and provide advice about other options, including long-acting reversible contraception. She said the expansion of the program would make it easier for women – particularly those in the outer suburbs and regions – to access contraceptives, as well as save them time and money. The premier told reporters: "When women have run out of the pill – and many women would know what this feels like – having the hassle of having to shop around, get a bulk billing GP appointment … reorganising your whole day around that appointment that takes time out of women’s days."
