Puglia - I'm visiting this area in September and have a good idea what towns we want to visit. For anyone who has been there my questions is whether we should base ourselves in Lecce and, possibly, Bare, for 4 -5 nights a piece, and then do day trips from our base to all the smaller places. Or...

They ALL do it and there should be greater transparency. I also believe it is morally unacceptable for politician who has announced or knows his retirement is imminent to travel overseas at taxpayer expense. And definitely not for $74K - it reminds me of the adage, "Nothing exceeds like...

As expected. $74K on a holiday when he was set to retire. Us mere mortals have to do Trip-a-Deal 2 for the price of one… if we can afford it!

What might have been…

It would be fair to say the Saints play GMHBA like they've never been there before ;)

I don't live in Geelong but still have family there, and I definitely think the reverse is the case. Ford wasn't the only big company to pull out - Alcoa, Pilkington Glass, International Harvester to name some that have closed over the years. But instead of the loss of major manufacturing...

Well maybe reserve judgment? I've got a mate (a Demons supporter) who went to a game at GMHBA in 2024 for the first time in his life and was blown away by the facilities and how close spectators are to the game (as opposed to being in the Gods at the MCG). Sure it is a narrow ground; it always...

A good reel and a champion of the game no doubt, but a bit repetitive don't you think? Compare his goals with GAS. He could kick massive torpedo punts, goals on the run, goals when taking the ball out of a ruck competition, goals from speccy marks, etc

Sort of reinforces what was said in Post 127

Not sure if you have been asked this but have you actually been to a game at GMHBA Stadium, and since the new grandstand was completed?

Of the named players - and I would add Dusty to that list - Gary Ablett Senior had it all - speed, sheer strength, classy goals, marking, and longevity - whereas the named players didn't IMO.

1. you could understand. 2. seems far fetched, if it happened. Either way, to shatter the guy's jaw on the field is an extreme response. He could not have thought he'd get away with it?

If you’d bothered to read the post above yours…

Fair enough. I thought you were talking just VIC

That may be so, but the difference is one party is the government and the other is in opposition. And the levels of corruption by the Andrews government makes anything the LNP opposition do or did in recent memory pale into insignificance. Just ask Deborah Glass the Andrews appointed now...

The ALP smear campaign has started! The sheer hypocrisy of Labor basing its current campaign on Battin being the "Cuts" man when (A) it is Labor that is responsible for the state net debt bill per Victorian being on track to exceed $25,000 by 2027-28; and (B) Labor has already slashed costs...

Its okay, provide squatting is not accompanied by criminal damage and the property is genuinely abandoned. A classic case - The Point at Albert Park Lake. One time 2-hat restaurant had been vacant since just before Covid. For over a year middle aged squatters camped under the enclosed...

Most if not all say it was a blessing in disguise

This from a mod?

Inflation happened globally LOL

I doubt voters will remember or give a shit about budget surpluses come election time. Hasn’t done a thing to ease the cost of living crisis, has it?

The ALP machine is desperately trying to reinvent Albo as a modern day Bob Hawke. LOL

11 of the 12 past interest rate hikes under Albo and continued high government spending has ensured inflation remained sufficiently high for the RBA not to reduce interest rates.

Doesn’t make the tax good. And I have no problems with private schools paying payroll tax

Taxing employment, the engine room of the country. Could there be a greater disincentive to employ?

We? The Royal we??

You didn’t! Did any other states cut road maintenance funding by 67%

SRL was conceived by consultants with public servants completely shut out. But this is off topic! https://www.governmentnews.com.au/top-bureaucrat-public-servants-kept-out-of-loop-in-massive-melbourne-rail-project/

Maybe you should have been clearer: “Roads still work to be done to recover from the record floods in recent years” I can name countless roads that weren’t flood affected but are in terrible condition.

I conceded that is the case earlier. Not all our road problems were caused by floods. Yes that is what you and the government will have us believe.
