These conversations are actually going on … live … in real time … . Maybe I do like Twitter after all …

Great reminder from Virginia Trioli about the slow, seemingly inevitable decline of the Melbourne Cup as a public celebration. Not even 10-years ago ABC Melbourne would do a full day's outside broadcast (OB) from the track. All day!

The Libs postal vote issue has been 'resolved'.

'There was a disconnect between applying to be a general postal voter, which is an enrollment matter, as distinct from applying for a postal vote application,' Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately tells Virginia Trioli on ABC Melbourne

Virginia Trioli Colin would make a beautiful Take 5. So interesting to hear that song came from a similar place to Missy Higgins. ❤️

Twitter feels like I could wake up any morning now and find the whole site burned to ground, with Elon Mush standing in the smoking rubble, in a pair of yellowed Y-fronts, dribbling bathtub gin through broken teeth, laughing at me.

Fascinating how my column this morn on Elon Musk has drawn the deFuNdtheAbC mob more than any other recently …🤔

Twitter, I am your father.

EMV boss Andrew Crisp couldn’t tell Virginia Trioli why water was being pumped from inside the levee back onto homes outside the ledge already struggling with flooding, despite the local council saying EMV is responsible for the levee

Yup. Read this, @world if you want to know what’s really happening in the UK.

Oh my heart -- the Echuca pharmacist speaking with Virginia Trioli right now. Pharmacy, counselling service, caterer, logistics all at once. The exhaustion and emotion is all there on the airwaves. #vicfloods

Brilliant conversation with Tracy Grimshaw ⁦Virginia Trioli⁩

I'm listening to 'Episode 03: Tracy Grimshaw' with the ABC listen app abclisten.page.link/2RPSE1u9ozXyxa…

“Only a freshie” 💥

What a very good question … or are we not allowed to ask this either? ABC Melbourne #springst #VictoriaVotes2022

Hadn't really occurred to me until listening to @LATrioli's show that all this water drowning regional Victoria is still to be fully felt into the Murray. EMC Andrew Crisp called it a 'campaign event' that will last for weeks as the Murray is smashed through Vic and SA. #vicflood

'There’s no doubt this have an inflationary impact as well as another hit to the budget as these are costs that are necessary to provide support to people,' PM told Virginia Trioli ABC Melbourne #vicfloods #auspoI
