Curiouser and Curiouser: even if you have no interest in the Commonwealth Games you should expect Spring St to enter contracts with sound decision making.
Decisions like Armstrong Creek make no sense no matter what the spin.

@szilviavirag sadly the as we know it - knew it ? - has gone. Itโ€™s now a tax payer funded with a hand picked board and a plethora of reporters, presenters, hosts and guests who canโ€™t help but hide their bias against .

So i welcome the VIC govt budget: clawing back taxes from big business and big property concerns. They need to pay from the profits they have been creaming off.

Food corporations, fuel companies , rental market and many airlines have gouged and hiked prices. You can bet they won't drop them - ever.

Put it this way: they claimed "hardship after covid" and increased overheads & losses. So an increase to cover those losses is understandable. But when they make "BiggerThanEver" profits (for shareholders) that means they are covering overheads/losses AND making money out of us at a disproportionate rate. Raking it in at our expense. Pushing prices up way over and above what they need. Sheer and utter greed.

Nobody begrudges business covering costs.
Nobody begrudges them a profit margin.
But BLEEDING US CONSUMERS DRY for the good of shareholders and CEO bonuses???

I want them taxed. So yes. Good budget.

To all The Dan-Haters...
who continue to carry on like lunatics...
who are anti-vax...
who use words like EWE and SHEEPLE...
who call others DAN WORSHIPERS ...

I would really like to thank you for the very important role you played in having Dan re-elected ...

you have about three years and eight months of whining before next election...

but I am happy for you to keep whining ... because it will help Dan win again NEXT TIME...

so I SINCERELY THANK YOU

Vic Premier Dan Andrews nails it & says no to state funeral for George Pell.
But if as reported, NSW Liberal Premier & conservative Catholic Dominic Perrottet,
Is also ruling out a state funeral,
This will be another moment like the and Indigenous
Where Peter Dutton has not only failed to read the room, failed vulnerable children.

The five stages of grief.

denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

Can you guess what stage Stevo is at?

The Murdochs and Costello lost the Victorian election despite throwing every at Dan Andrews. The in are a disgrace, itโ€™s time for a Royal Commission.

Most hold disdain for the Herald Sun, a notoriously conservative tabloid.

The paper is home for the racist, climate sceptic and all round terrible human being Andrew Bolt. In the past Bolt has lost defamation cases for playing fast and loose with the facts.

So yesterday the centrist Labor Party and centre left Greens won a thumping victory in the state . The ultra conservative Liberal party suffered a humiliating defeat - actually losing seats against a third term government.

It is a total rout and rejection by the greater voting public. A real bloodbath.

But from within the bubble of the conservative mindset, the victorious Victorian premier was grievously "wounded" and he should "resign".

You see, Bolt can see into Andrew's heart: apparently the victorious third term Premier actually knows he should resign.

Copium much?

I'm a bit sick of the media describing as a "divisive Premier". Just because a loud and radical minority hate him, doesn't mean he's divisive. If 2022 was a referendum on Premier Andrews, as many of the media framed it, he passed with flying colours.
