Yet again, The University of Melbourne showing their true colours.

The fact they're "investigating the leak" and didn't sack this racist piece of shit the moment he sent the email says everything about who they are.

I suppose it just backs up Dr Eddie Cubillo's comments on the school: “most culturally unsafe place I’ve worked”

The Victorian government is proposing new regulations banning e-bikes (and e-scooters, e-skateboards etc) from travelling on trains (and trams, buses, coaches etc). engage.vic.gov.au/public-trans

We're preparing a submission (consultation closes 18 August). Question to e-device users: how would this affect you?

Must say I don't trust the Victorian government at all on this issue. If the towers need to be demolished they should be replaced by 100% new public housing, instead of being incorporated into a bigger private complex.

'The plan to demolish Melbourne’s 44 public housing towers has been slammed as “ethnic and class cleansing” and a “land grab for developers” in explosive testimony at a parliamentary inquiry.

'Yarra City Council Mayor Stephen Jolly, a former public housing tenant, told the inquiry on Tuesday that the state government’s redevelopment project was designed to hand over prime inner-city real estate to build “high-rises for rich people”.'

It's good people are seeing that Victoria Police just refuse to do their job, it's just sad it's over a child being abused.

I've called the cops about being run off the road on my bike, threatened, had a guy run up onto the footpath, and one stop and threaten to kill me if I was ever riding on my own street again.

Every single time, cops refuse to even proceed as "it'd be too difficult", which is shorthand for "it'd take us actually doing our job".

I can't imagine how this feels when it's your kid being abused, or you're a woman being stalked.

There needs to be drastic reform in Victoria Police, especially at a command level, as these are the pale stale males who refuse to take any case on that's not a "slam dunk":

The CFA's response is pretty pissweak. Senior members of the brigade were involved in this, how else were they allowed to drive the truck from Pura Pura to Melbourne?

And it's not just the "Ditch the bitch", full on cooker slogans all over it.

Until the CFA takes action, more than "having a chat", they're done in my book. I'm not the only one sick of seeing misogynists, bigots, and conspiracy theorists get away with hateful language, all because it's "political speech".

It's not, it's hate, and, in the words of Lieutenant General David Morrison:

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept

Honestly, the CFA can play hide and go fuck themselves, and I'm going to make sure they know it when they're down at Coles or Woolworths asking for donations; they're there this week, too.

This kind of shit is expected from Battin, but from supposed "emergency services", this is beyond the pale.

Maybe they should focus on doing their jobs rather than protesting levies:

I wonder if we'll get changes to laws like Zionists have?

What about the PM spending time with the LGBTQIA+ community?

Or even a statement from the PM?

Nope? Yeh, didn't think so.

Nazis can attack my people, and all we get is platitudes.

Nazis mount antisemitic attacks on Jewish places, then it's change of law, and attacking pro-Palestinian protestors who had nothing to do with it.

When we talk about a double standard, this is it

Why the fuck does a genocidal maniac get any say in what happens here?

The man who has made Jewish people less safe in this world wants "action" on antisemitism.

The man who has demanded that Judaism and Zionism are the same thing.

The man who has killed thousands of kids without so much as a thought.

Want someone to blame for antisemitism being on the rise? Look at Netanyahu, and openly blame him.

That won't happen, though. Protest will be curtailed, leaders will grovel at the feet of genocidal Zionists, and Jewish Australians will continue to be less safe.

Want to help end antisemitism in Australia? Ban Zionist lobbying organisations, and designate the IDF and Knesset as terrorist organisations

As much as I think Australia's gun laws need tightening up, we really need to interact with well trained hunters to deal with feral animals in Australia.

I get that people want to look for other ways, but there's few ways that don't end with collateral kills of native, potentially endangered, fauna.

Needs to be a national effort, as we'll start to see more of this stuff happen:

www.premier.vic.gov.auNew Road Worker Safety Laws Now In EffectThe Allan Labor Government is giving roadside workers greater protections whilst helping our drivers – whether they be responding to a crash, a vehicle breakdown or a life-threatening situation. Minister for Roads and Road Safety Melisssa Horne announced that from 1 July, road rule 79A will be expanded to further improve road safety for vehicles passing vehicle incidents. Road rule 79A was first introduced in 2017 for motorists passing police, emergency, enforcement and VicRoads Incident Response Service vehicles and were required to:

"Travel times across key spots in Melbourne's east would be up to 40 minutes faster under a completed first section of the Suburban Rail Loop project, data calculated by government transport planners suggests."

Of course because this is a rail project these are actual real time savings that will still be there in 50yrs. Instead of road projects that promise faster travel times but never deliver them at all.

After missing the 2022 deadline to make all tram stops accessible the Victorian government has set a 2032 deadline.

But that requires them to upgrade 166 tram stops every year for the next 7 yrs. A 16x increase in the current rate.

That means upgrading more tram stops every year than they have over the entire last decade.

The Labor government has upgraded 98 tram stops in the last decade but has slowed to only doing 18 in the last 5yrs.

"An Allan government spokesperson said the Labor government had upgraded 98 tram stops since coming to power a decade ago, and delivered 50 accessible E-Class trams."

That's less than 10% of the tram stops that needed upgrading in that decade.

"A 2020 Victorian Auditor-General’s Office report found the Transport Department had estimated the cost of upgrading all tram stops in the network to level-access would cost at least $2 billion."

That's an absolute bargain.
Clearly it's not a cost problem, but a problem of political will. Shameful.

They know installing accessible trams stops requires taking some space away from cars so they don't want to do it.
