It’s too late for the Victorian community to let Les Twentyman know how indebted we are to him for his work with challenged youth and it’s time we honour our unsung heroes while they are alive.
For decades, Victoria’s teachers and nurses have rallied against conservative governments but never have they been so belittled and devalued than by the Andrews/Allan government.
Australians have to be prepared to pay more if we want our fruit and vegetable farmers to survive — or soon we will be at the mercy of overseas companies for the food we require as a nation.
Victorians who bought a holiday home 20 years ago and backed local jobs in coastal communities are now being forced to pay for the state government’s mismanagement of our affairs. Where is the incentive to remain in Victoria?
Victoria needs to make it clear that rising anti-Semitic sentiment is unacceptable for our Jewish community which has done so much for education, medical research and the arts in this state.

The Tasmanian government’s move to cap funding for a roofed stadium all but kills the current AFL deal for the state. This is what Plan B should look like.
The Dunkley by-election won’t change the political colour of the federal government, but it can send a clear message that middle-income earners can’t be held solely responsible for government failures.
