have you considered fitting the car with a steering wheel.
Tonight @ACurrentAffair9 Port Melbourne pensioner Janette has had her car trapped by construction site scaffolding behind her carport for four months. She is stuck in every sense of the word - so who’s responsible? Her story at 7pm.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but… I’m convinced Melbourne airport deliberately puts the PTV buses in the weirdest places with next to no way-finding signage in the airport so that people don’t use it and instead funnel the money back to big Skybus

Many brave neighbors stayed behind to fight the fire on Piedra Morada in Pacific Palisades this afternoon. Pacific Palisades Fire. Heroes. Praying for them and their homes.

Melbourne’s Metro Tunnel project (@metrotunnelvic) is an engineering marvel and I reckon many Melbournians don’t realise just how much their city will change next year. This is about bringing our rail network from good to great - and there’s so much to be excited about 🚇. (🧵)

Got the chance to have a look inside Anzac Station on Melbourne’s Metro Tunnel project! . A thread on some of my observations 🧵
Major construction has been completed at Anzac Station ✅. More than half of the new Metro Tunnel stations underneath Melbourne are now finished 🚇.

Australian governments literally say if you do this you will die, your home is not designed to withstand this and you cannot expect help to come. The 2009 Black Saturday fires completely changed the “Stay or Go” logic genuinely because this is how most people die.

If anyone behaved like this in almost any other Australian workplace and said this to a colleague in the way Finlayson did, you would be terminated without notice. Why do AFL players seemingly have a different set of standards and punishments that they get to abide by?.
Port Adelaide’s Jeremy Finlayson reportedly called an Essendon opponent a “f*****” in Friday night’s AFL game, according to Fox Footy. A suspension for the homophobic slur could be handed down in the coming days. #6NewsAU |

I think it’s important to remember that effectively all these people protesting “over-development” are essentially saying to younger people across this state that you do not deserve to have the opportunity to live in the same area I do.

no it means Australians have absolutely no interest or desire in living in the US.
Geography trivia for you: The US records net positive migration from the entire world except Australia. Does that mean US Americans think Australia is the only more desirable destination on the planet? 😉🇺🇸🇦🇺

In Victoria you must wait 40 minutes for a train. All day every day, 40 minutes. They do not run trains frequently ever. The government always goes by their slogan less trains, less often. You must wait 40 minutes, and you can’t question anyone. You must always wait 40 minutes.

every time you NIMBY post, the height restrictions around Brighton train stations increase by a single storey.
Today the State govt announced plans for high-density housing projects near railway stations in Goldstein. You can't just make up housing policy and announce it in the newspapers. I hope the State has some kind of a plan to consult our community. If it does, I haven't seen it

cool the CBD isn’t for driving - get the train, thanks for your opinion.
And the poll results are both entertaining and unsurprising all at the same time:. Majority of Melburnians said more bike lanes would make it harder to drive around the city. and make them much less likely to visit CBD.

They don’t have an airport train in Melbourne. They make you catch this thing called a “skybus”. If you criticise the government over the lack of a train, they send you to prison and make you worship their leader Dictator Dan.

Melbourne will build some of the best looking suburban stations out there but still choose to serve them every 20-40 minutes off peak. It seems illogical that there’s no desire from the government or operators to improve weekend frequencies that haven’t increased in decades
