Except we don’t grow sugar cane in Victoria. It is good machetes will be banned.

we’re talking about a 500mm knife. How well thought out does it need to be? Do you think cane cutters will lose their livelihood? It should be no different to flick knives which are illegal.

Why does anyone need a machete in Victoria? Cabinet was due to discuss a ban on sale of machetes last week, but for reasons not explained our dear premier had it removed from the agenda. Why the **** is everything so difficult for this government?

A few years ago the government denied there was a problem. I say good on the HUN for focusing on a real problem that the government pretends does not exist. And anyone on this board who says there is no real problem in Victoria has their head in the sand.

I don’t buy that. This state government’s wokedom is why we have seen an explosion in youth crime. Declaring youth offenders need to be given another chance, over and over and over. They’ll keep doing the crime because they won’t ever have to do the time. There was a time when bail was a...

AFL PREDICTIONS YOUR PREDICTION :arrowdown: Premiers: Swans Runners Up: Brisbane Wooden Spoon: Richmond Top 8 - the bookies (Sportsbet, TAB) have the top 8 as Brisbane, Hawthorn, Geelong, Carlton, Sydney, GWS, Collingwood, Fremantle.Which teams out of these won't play finals? none...

Which of course is an offence, so opposition get free

Grand Final

No....I am sure GFC could do it but I appreciate the logistics with coteries, sponsor commitments etc BTW, AFL has finally declared both games in QLD to be postponed

Even simpler - switch Opening Round & R15

Geelong is well on the way. Projected to have population of 442,000 by 2046, and 300,000 this year. Fastest growing population growth in Victoria, and 2nd fastest in Australia. Keep Allen away from Geelong. The Council is doing a good job managing the growth.

Agree. Docklands. In Brighton, Elsternwick?

You’re just going through all of the ex LNP ministers. Yesterday, it was Michael O’Brien. Tomorrow it will be Allan Brown. Who‘s going to build these budget apartments? The margins on these apartments will be so small, corners will be cut. Normally the developers sell as many apartments as...

Who is Anthony Dillion? Is that the GABBA stadium manager?

You mean the Yarra River?

They should just swap the 2 x H&A games around. Opening Rd in Geelong, R15 in Brisbane. Simple?

Depends what's worse. Standing in the outer and getting pi55ed on your shoes by a Pies supporter who couldn't be bothered going to the urinal at Vic Park, or having a knitting needle poked in your backside by a Saint supporting granny at Moorabbin

There's precedent for Brisbane being forced to play "home games" in Melbourne against the Cats - 2004 PF played at MCG

He's aged much better than Russell Crow, Mel Gibson, Hugh Jackman etc

I haven't seen the Brutalist, but at 3hrs 34 minutes, with an intermission, it is bound to win a swag of awards

One that consults those to be affected by its decisions?

Pot calling the kettle black in reverse? Did or did not the government renege on extending Patton’s contract after publicly agreeing to extend his contract by 5 years? You can call it what you like but his contract was terminated by the government. He was sacked. He became the convenient...

Maybe because Australia's Defence Forces Chief, Defence Chief Admiral David Johnston, is on record as describing China’s behaviour as "irresponsible" and "disruptive"?

When was the last time Australia engaged in live fire activities in the waters of China's EEZ without proper notice (and not associated with joint military activities) or where the flight paths of 49 civil flights had to be deviated because the live fire activities were directly beneath known...

Fair enough. The difference is (a) engaging in live fire activities (which I don't believe Australia has ever done in China's EEZ unless involved in joint exercises), and (b) the lack of warning. Time to move on...

So technically no laws were broken by the Chinese, but what they did was inflammatory and designed to flex China's muscle. It had nothing to do with joint military exercises. They got away with it. What next? They were sailing in an Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone, in international...

Imagine if Australia, or the USA, did what China has done in China's waters. It's unfathomable to imagine Australia with its fleet of less than 50 naval vessels doing it, but the USA? You'd NEVER hear the end of it from China

In Victoria, which is what this thread is about, that will because Labor are the consummate masters of mismanaging money. What we are seeing with Andrews / Allen is reminiscent of Cain / Kirner. Imagine having to pay $26,000,000 in interest every day just to manage the $188B debt.

Typically pathetic, "there is no problem" defensive post. Have you noticed costs cut in almost every facet of our lives by this government. The May Budget is predicted to be the "worst ever". Just to remind you what it looks like to have a state debt of $188B that costs Victoria at least $26M...
