Why, like lemmings, do we the Victorian community, remain silent as we are about to be pushed off a financial cliff by the infrastructure policy of the Andrews/Allan government?
Why is Jacinta Allan committing Victorians — especially those in rural areas who will never use the Suburban Rail Loop — to taxes so high that it will change the fabric of life here in our state?
Is the Allan government so punch drunk after Dan Andrews’ leadership that it will not act in the state’s interest and cancel the most expensive white elephant ever commissioned by an Australian government?
It appears the city of Melbourne will never be the place to work it used to be — it’s now too hard to get to, too expensive and too inhospitable.
The Voice referendum split Australia and now we are being divided over conflict in the Middle East — but wars beyond our shores should not put our multiculturalism and tolerance at risk.
The leaking of the Hawthorn report sparked a media firestorm and ultimately destroyed the investigation. The club would become a laughing stock if it paid compensation for a debacle it did not create.
