Melbourne Woman Forced To Travel To Adelaide For Urgent Surgery 14/09/2022

A Melbourne woman needing urgent surgery to remove a brain tumour was forced to travel to Adelaide for an urgent pre-surgery procedure because there is nowhere in Victoria where she can have it done.

Victoria’s embattled triple-0 service asked for more than $1 million in permanent funding to meet rising demand in 2020 but was knocked back in favour of a one-off payment.

A mystery individual could become the third person to vie for a slice of controversial businessman Geoffrey Edelsten’s shrinking estate.

And.. MORE than 300 Pies fans will form a massive convoy from Melbourne to Sydney so they can support Collingwood at the do-or-die preliminary final against the Swans.
