Thanks to YSKR for alerting me to this god awful bus journey.

On ABC774 this morning, John Pesutto told Raf Epstein there's a bus that takes a similar route to the SRL, and low patronage suggests lack of demand for the SRL.

The 901 bus departs Frankston 8.05am and takes 4 hours 11 mins to get to Melb Airport.

I will never get this bus.

Louise Milligan Honestly cannot understand how Michael is such a lone voice on this in particular.

Social media platforms allow the dissemination of abusive content on an industrial scale with impunity.

If there were consequences, they’d stop it. We know it’s possible. This is a choice.

The technology sector is profiting from services and products that cause mass social harm, including violence against women and children. The only effective response to this scale of harm is regulation. Peer intervention, workshops, etc will never be enough.

Given the number of MPs inside the Victorian Liberal Party who have shamelessly invoked the fig-leaf of 'women's safety' in vilifying trans people, I'm looking forward to hearing their plan for tackling family and domestic violence.

(They will say something soon, right?)

If Ministers and the executive government are aware of ongoing child sexual abuse of children in a youth detention facility, and don’t take immediate action to get them to safety, what avenues are available for them to be held to account?

“Let's be clear — this is not some new or contemporary crisis. This stuff, this insistence on control and coercion and the violent resentment caused by a resistant woman, is millennia-old, and it was as toxic then as it is now.” 🧵 1/4

Why aren’t “tough on crime” leaders tough on family and domestic violence?

.Senator The Hon. Bridget McKenzie says “so we want a credible plan and we'll be announcing that when the time is right.”

bridget will be waiting *forever* for the coalition to form a credible plan.

her current plan would result in increased emissions, increased costs, and inevitably, blackouts.

Redbridge Poll.

Federal Labor maintains a two-party preferred lead of 52 to 48. The primary votes for both major parties mirror those of May 2022. However, their support levels are most vulnerable among young voters and individuals experiencing the highest levels of financial…

ADVANCE Why do you keep using photos of vehicles that haven't been sold for years?

If you're going to lie about everything, at least give your audience a modicum of respect by at least pretending to know what you're talking about.

Albo, mate

The marches are designed to send a message to legislators (that's you) that the public has had gutful of this situation

They're meant to make you act as our Prime Minister.

You 'marching' is just the tail wagging the dog. And it'll achieve about as much

In light of this week's events - the commodifying of a mental illness, the calls of forgiveness that none have asked for, all those tortured lives under his government, the grifting until the dying of the light, all those lost lonely lives.

I still stand by every word.

No more.

See you at the State Library at 10am tomorrow.

Perhaps they'll be hoping that everyone just forgets about it?

From Kinglake to Noojee, from Baw Baw to Eildon. 90 minutes from Melbourne. This is the proposed Great Forest National Park.

Did you know Sydney has 10 times more parks & reserves than we do?

Two days left to have your say. It takes 5 minutes.

Aaron Smith He really gets to the heart of it here. Brittany Higgins wasn't a rape victim; he was the victim of a 'pile on.'
