New data from the state coroner shows was no increase in suicides in Victoria in 2020, despite fears the pandemic would cause a spike in deaths. There was a 2.7% fall in the number of lives lost to suicide in 2020 compared to 2019. theage.com.au/national/victo… #aushealth #auslaw

I am shocked. Who would have predicted that a hard lockdown and thus increased business and consumer certainty would be the right economic decision as well as the right public health decision? Business Council of Australia? theage.com.au/politics/feder…

Almost impossible to overstate the stupidity of Dim Tim Smith. One of tennis circuit's more likeable players tweets he's happy to be here and grateful, and this absolute dipshit attacks him. Does the Liberal Party in Vic. actually want to drive its vote down to nothing? #DimTim

Free speech is you standing on a soap box in a public park and voicing your opinion. If you take that soap box into a private business or home and do the same, the owner may let you stay, but they also have every right to ask you to leave. We call that freedom too. #freespeech

Michael O'Brien doesn't need any friends to play tennis with. He can play both sides, but as you can see his 'serves' are very ineffective.

The events in the US have been appalling.

They represent nothing less than a terrorist act. It is devastating for our friends in America, and for democracy itself.

I'm just so grateful to live in WA - with a respectful, cohesive society and a democracy that works.

Seems a great initiative to give traders more outdoor dining space to help them recover after the covid lockdown.

But who can Ch9 find to have an anti-Dan sook about it?

Maybe Josh Frydenberg knows someone.

A question. The end game of this spat (please god, that’s all it is) between Australia & China. Does anyone have a strategy whereby this works out well for us? If you do, please share it. Many business people are currently tearing their few remaining hairs out.

Why hasn't anyone resigned yet over Robodebt? Here's why...

Caulfield South is a small suburb in the south east of Melbourne. Our state electorate is Caulfield. Our state MP is David Southwick (Liberal). David (or his social media team) creates fake accounts on Facebook to post his propaganda.

Tim Smith logic 'to compel us to wear masks outside, in summer, even when alone, is potentially dangerous'

Speaking of potentially dangerous, here's #donutdick at the start of the second wave, suggesting Victoria needs to let it rip.

New Roy Morgan poll sees Dan Andrews approval jump 12% to 71% as Victoria opens up again. Victorian ALP now leading coalition, 58.5% 41.5%. #springst

What did Anderson Cooper just say????

I've read or watched all of Trump's speeches since 2016. This is the most dishonest speech he has ever given.

WI: Trump is +100k, but there are 700k votes still to count
PA: Trump is +700k, but 1.8m to count
MI: Trump is +300k, but 1.8m to count
NC: Trump is +77k, but 300k to count
GA: Trump is +100k, but 450k to count

Keep in mind, those are mostly early/mail votes that favor Biden.

Don't vote for me, I'm a massive idiot

Now hearing test results which were set to lob mid-arvo are likely to be finalised closer to midday, meaning things are looking 'more promising' for a reopening announcement this arvo. #springst #CovidVic

Kevin has done well to get this petition going. I doubt it will result in a Royal Commission and Murdoch’s print monopoly (since 1987) is only part of the problem. But I have signed it and encourage others to do so.
