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

It seems that crisscrossing the world with her sister for The Amazing Race hasn’t cured the travel bug for Bec Judd.

She and her picture perfect family have been spotted in Greece, amid the wider winter exodus of Melbourne’s very elite people.

Husband Chris Judd is off to Ibiza to visit a mate.

The Judds are also taking in Europe, including England, where it seems the locals could well be outnumbered by visiting Melburnians who enjoy cricket, or tennis, or a temperature gauge that threatens to smash 15C.

Bec Judd has posted very little online about this latest adventure, unlike in January, when she posted regularly about a Canadian ski holiday.

Is she saving up the holiday snaps for an exclusive slide night on her return?

Police probe surge in non-binary officers

They say it’s only a rort if you’re not in on it.

And so it proved when the Herald Sun broke the story of many Victoria Police officers suddenly marking themselves off as non-binary in the force’s workplace system.

A detective training school background probably was not needed to deduce that many of them were eyeing off the women’s non-uniform clothing allowance, which is $1200 a year higher than for men.

It wasn’t a great look. Once exposed, you’d think that that would be the end of the blokes in blue putting up their hands, right?

Not so.

The Source has been told that after the Herald Sun story, some tin-eared members approached human relations managers to ask how they could claim the money.

By Friday, Chief Commissioner Shane Patton had had enough, and sent an all-staff circular announcing the matter would be the subject of an internal investigation.

He couldn’t be blamed.

The number of members self-describing had risen fourfold in a year. By the time Patton sent his missive, there was a new officer ticking the non-binary box every day.

Those wanting to claim the money will now have to produce a signed legal document making clear their commitment to their new way of life.

May opens up on ill-fated Aussie tour

Queen have cleared up longstanding rumours about their ill-fated first tour of Australia.

In 1974, Queen came to Australia to play the Sunbury Festival in Victoria.

The band had only just released their self-titled debut album — which turns 50 this month.

So for most Australians, Queen was still unknown — and playing a festival renowned for its local headline acts.

“We were booked at the top of the bill and we didn’t really warrant it,” Queen guitarist Brian May tells new LiSTNR podcast Behind the Hits: Queen.

“I don’t know what the promoter was thinking … so there was resentment there from the beginning and I don’t blame them really.”
