Tim Smith’s appetite for being trolled on Twitter shows no signs of abating.

Putting the squeeze on Victoria’s movers, shakers and headline makers.

Car crash MP Tim Smith, watching on from the other side of the world, has careered into the discussion of John Farnham’s You’re the Voice as an anthem for the Yes vote.

Smith pointed out that the B side of the 1986 single was a song called Going, Going, Gone.

“The Yes case might think they’re singing The Voice but the majority of the Australian people say they’re Going, Going, Gone,” he posted.

Predictably, some people didn’t much like Smith’s referendum appraisal, drawing on his abrupt exit from state politics after a late night encounter with a Hawthorn fence.

“A bit like your career,” someone replied. “Paid for that fence yet?”

Sally Capp sees photo opp as too good to loos

Poor Sally Capp.

Surely there’s someone on the Lord Mayor’s team flushing out the shiz, so the city’s illustrious leader can deal with actual biz.

But, no, there she was, with colourful balloons, windswept streamers and an excited entourage to open … wait for it … a public toilet in Carlton.

Perhaps it was an opportunity too good to loos.

Indeed, judging by the bright smiles, jazz hands and all-round enthusiasm from those involved in the ribbon cutting ceremony, it was hard to keep a lid on this V (ery) I (mpressive) P (ortaloo) event.

Oh, yes, dear Source reader; there was a ribbon, a scissors, a splicing, and an automated sliding door revealing the sparkling cubicle within.

Ms Capp watched and applauded as an “official” did the “formalities”, then everyone posed inside the toilet like influencers landing first dibs, and bragging rights, at the city’s latest hotspot.

Except, no, it was a lavatory in Faraday St.

A post on the City of Melbourne’s Instagram page said: “We opened our brand new public toilet on Faraday St last week and it’s safe to say we were pretty excited about it”.

Safe to say, respondents got excited on the comments thread, too, and quite aptly took the piss.

“Things are crook when we’re celebrating a toilet opening,” said one.

“This is just a little bit insane,” commented another.

Someone else noted: “I’ve never seen so many people excited about a toilet”.
