Victorians should question if hotel quarantine inquiry is a sham

Vic’s second-rate tracing system shows Labor’s incompetence
The Premier has had months to fix Victoria’s broken contact-tracing system and the fact it still isn’t says everything about this government’s ongoing incompetence. They need to be held accountable or Victoria’s prospects will never improve.

Why Erin Molan can change troll laws
Sports journalist Erin Molan struck a chord for me when she spoke out against the online trolls and nameless haters who cause so much grief. For too long, we’ve allowed people who abuse others online to have the upper hand.
We have signed away our freedom on false promises
Never before have Victorians ceded so much power to government and never has a government been less worthy. Join me in publicising a new hashtag: #wheresthebloodyplandan, writes Peta Credlin.
