Just heard on the news that ice use in Victoria has risen 30% in the last 5 months and Melbourne has become the heroin capital of Australia.
@DanielAndrewsMP
your stunning list of achievements grows daily.
From this morning’s Age. Noice
Thanks
@VictorianLabor
for letting us get held to ransom by a bunch of gangsters. Wondering where our colossal new Victorian taxes are going? Thrilled that the huge land taxes I pay now are going to these thugs. Bikie gangs JFC
Black Star Pastry baristas wore keffiyehs to work at Chadstone Shopping Centre. The next day they were sacked.
As they absolutely should be. The workplace is not a stage for activism
Yet you happily left Victorians stranded and locked out of their own home state when you hysterically closed the border over a virus. We all remember Dan
With tens of thousands of Ukrainians currently fleeing their home, Victoria stands ready to help.
We'll work with the Commonwealth Government wherever possible to welcome families seeking either temporary shelter, or to find a new permanent home here in our state.
So my land tax bill this year is double last year. Has the value of property doubled? I don't think so.
@DanielAndrewsMP
you're a wicked thief. Why should I pay for your criminal incompetence in running this state?
So do the Pro Palestinian protesters think disrupting Carols by Candelight, a charity for Vision Australia attended by families with small children will win them friends in Melbourne? 🙄
My daughter has done an early morning nursing shift and could be called into do night shift tonight, which will wreck the first of her days off as well as being very unsafe.

I hate your vax mandates and covid isolation rules for the harm they are causing

My youngest was shamed for coughing in maths yesterday. I have to let her stay home today for a complex mix of biological, psychological and social reasons none of which are COVID19. No more chin up up and off you go The new culture and pitiful state of education in Danistan 🙄🤬
I've spoken with the Warne family again today and they have accepted my offer of a State Funeral to remember Shane.
It will be an opportunity for Victorians to pay tribute to his contribution to his sport, to our state and the country.
Details will be finalised in coming days.

Had a dozen fine young men around to celebrate my son’s 17th birthday. No alcohol and they were happy hanging out, playing pool, eating wood fired pizza and ice cream cake. Each one hunted for me to say thanks when they left. So glad they had fun after all they’ve endured
PM Morrison refers to parents of 5-11yo having the CHOICE to vaccinate their kids for COVID19 with the Pfizer vaccine. Will it be a choice nationwide and not a mandate?
@MagilaVera
Vaccinated healthcare worker here but stand by your right to decline as for any other treatment we offer. Very concerned about what has happened to you and what losing all these teachers means for kids in terms of learning benchmarks and general health and wellbeing.
My 74 yo mother with no symptoms drove around for five hours today trying to get a COVID test just for being a distant contact of a household contact of a case. This shit show gets more absurd daily. 🙄
10000 gathered sprawling drunk and gambling at the Melbourne Cup before I can attend to my haggard crone locks at the hairdresser.
@DanielAndrewsMP
I dislike you more than my recurrently sprouting rogue facial hair. I wake up every morning feeling like I can’t face the day
OMG what a shit show in Victorian hospitals right now. My 6mo out baby grad nurse daughter has to stay back to do a night after an afternoon shift. And be the nurse in charge of her ward!
The CFMEU standover man is still talking about fruit picking in Mildura for MEMBERS who protested (even if not violent right wing extremist). We have a problem if union administration can expel somebody from the entire industry for disagreeing with government
My son’s independent school is having a “Zoom free” day today for mental health. Ie no teacher contact. My fees at work. Of course the kids won’t be on screens of any sort 🙄
@DanielAndrewsMP
congratulations! You’ve destroyed state and private education

"This incident happened 10 years ago. I have no further comment" Despicable comment. It certainly isn't over for the young man whose life has been irreversibly altered. She needs to attend a Road Trauma Awareness Seminar and learn about the ripple impact
“If we chose to serve Australians on the basis of need not race, the opportunists would disappear quick smart” Jacinta Price just now at the National Press Club. Impressive!
My son had a house incursion at his boys’ grammar school today called “Tomorrow Man”. They had their fingernails painted pink to challenge male stereotypes. Stop the world, I want to get off!
Lucy in medicine we use the term vaccine hesitant. They are a heterogeneous group and any ethical medical care mandates free informed consent. For a lady of privilege with an education that’s a very unsophisticated tweet-the stuff of witch hunts
Can we all now agree that anti vaxxers should be discouraged and condemned, strongly and forcefully, whoever and wherever they are, by all political leaders? Not just selectively.

How DARE you do this
@LordMayorMelb
? It is beyond belief after the barbarous mass murder of Israelis by Hamas. WHY are you picking this side NOW? You are employed by tax paying Jewish Melburnians and this is flagrant emotional abuse while the are hurting
Is beer the only thing you think Victorians are concerned about you absolutely tone deaf fool? You think you can train us with treats like dogs? You kept bottle shops open so people have slabs of VB in the fridge and drinking to excess. We want schools open and to visit family
My husband survived the fall of Saigon and offshore detention as a child before making a productive life in this country that he loves. 5 years ago today a drunk heroin addict ended life for him as he knew it. Small mercy he smiles and doesn’t know but we lost him that day
Extremely sad. Why do we always have to hear “partner” though when she was a wife of many years? Sick of disrespectful non gendered language.

Just voted at pre poll. Josh Frydenberg standing beside my gorgeous young local Liberal candidate and her Mum, graciously and humbly greeting voters as they entered the booths. What an absolute legend and team player. Still reeling from our loss in Kooyong💙😥
Anyone else feeling especially agitated about perpetual lockdown because it is an especially splendid sunny day today?
@DanielAndrewsMP
the beautiful city I call my home is far to precious for you to remain its mean spirited custodian a moment longer
According to
@abcnews
the Victorian state govt "chipped in" to bring Billy Joel to Melbourne. Genuine question - how much and why would that need subsidisation with public money?
@ProfPCDoherty
@ConversationEDU
So Prof you are aware of an evidence base for the benefits of mask wearing to walk your dog at 6am, close playgrounds, close schools while brothels were open and shout at the public for viewing sunsets? I’m a mere nephrologist but I don’t
@spenderallegra
@AlboMP
Yawn. Focus on what’s really important to people outside the elite easy virtue signalling bubbles that breed Teal party members
Just heard this protest described as “hundreds of people” on Melbourne radio.🧐 Amazing how peaceful a protest can be when police don’t go charging in with pepperball rounds.
@DrLoupis
Honestly I'm not speaking with any medical knowledge here at all but what happens to the baby when the birth parent takes the doses of Reandron trans men usually take? Long term safety data???
@RitaPanahi
Those visors are meant to be worn standing upright; they are doing absolutely nothing in that position except making those poor babies very uncomfortable. More futile, crazy and cruel procedure arising from COVID19 hysteria
WTF is wrong with being outdoors and enjoying a beautiful sunset masked and distanced?!
@DanielAndrewsMP
you don’t own the sky. I enjoyed a beautiful one with my dog and other families against the city skyline from a Surrey Hills vantage point. So shove it

maybe celebrating 4 more years of institutionalised laziness and handouts, but core Liberal values get my children get out of bed in the morning to lead gainful productive lives in spite of losing their father and 2 years of crushing lockdown
Rubbish. The rottenness and criminality of the CFMEU has been common knowledge for years. She was lying through her teeth. And if she wasn’t she has miserably failed workers like the young man working for the Aboriginal construction company who was bullied and then overdosed
No matter how firmly Sally McManus reiterated she was not aware of CFMEU organised crime allegations, Sarah Ferguson persisted in pushing unfounded assertions. No evidence. Just speculation.
Sally is an exemplary leader – conscientious, compassionate & principled

just now re ongoing vaccination mandates but zero isolation requirements -“The last thing we want is health care workers to make their patients sick” Foolish and totally flies in the face of facts. Who on earth still listens to
@DanielAndrewsMP

Exactly
@DanielAndrewsMP
you’ve imprisoned us for 3 months and finally concede this on a day we reach triple figures again. You have failed on every front and destroyed us. You will go down in history as the most cruel, incompetent and Stalinist premier in Australia of all time.
Supermarkets are crowded indoor Meccas whilst everything is shut. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could celebrate spring with the return of a few open air farmer’s markets?
Tomorrow the drunk heroin addicted driver who destroyed my husband and inflicted perpetual trauma on my family finishes his 3.5 year sentence. I don’t know why I’m so impacted when he’s probably just been doing covid safe chats with his parole officer all this year, but I am
We've still got 7,000 cases a day, and children aged 5 to 11 currently have the lowest vaccination coverage. So this is a proportionate measure, for their protection and for ours. It won't be forever.
My primary school-aged kids have worked masks into their usual routine. 1/2
Former Labor MP
@KaushaliyaMP

I’m not sure what the current unvaccinated rate is in Victorian 16-18 year olds
@DanielAndrewsMP
but even if it is “only” 10 percent or even as low as 5%, that’s a lot of young people at low risk of serious disease to exclude from life entirely. Not objectively justifiable
Hopefully the truth will set us all free

Has anybody else observed what a bogan accent the Queen of Queensland has?. And how dare she go on about the Pfizer supply after snatching a dose when she was age ineligible?
Just had to flash my vax passport at Officeworks buying school stationery with the 13yo. What if we didn’t have them? Are school supplies not essential?
Not a good look for the pirate couple- wonder what Brittany thinks about this

Norm Gallagher the BLF king actually did jail time for comparatively less than the current major CFMEU players. Back then we still had a functioning society
I’m disgusted- ABC just identified the 2 COVID in Melbs cases from Sydney in every way short of name-we got age, suburb of party attended in Sydney, Melbourne workplace (complete with footage of the business premise-twice!) Can they please stop hurting people??
Amazing! The Drum is having a big discussion about it being unhelpful to brand vaccine hesitant people “anti vaxxers” Ah der!!! How long have sensible humane people been saying this? So supercilious! You’d think they’d invented the wheel 🙄
Don’t come to my house. If you do I will certainly vote no. ! Has door knocking on behalf of a sitting MP ever been a thing leading up to a referendum?

We’re on our way to doorknocking the whole of Kooyong.
It’s for all of us to walk together with First Nations Australians and vote Yes in the Voice referendum.

Saw an elderly person with a spray can in broad daylight spraying “Vote Josh out” on a large brick walk in Camberwell Rd. Are we OK with this? Is this the generation expressing concern for the next generations through climate action? Is this part of the teal campaign?
