๐Ÿท Just arrived at the Melbourne Good Food & Wine Show and I'm in heaven! The standout so far? The incredible range of Japanese whiskeys at the Casa de Vinos stand. Smooth, complex, and absolutely delicious! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

๐Ÿ˜ค Victoriaโ€™s priorities are completely backwards!

Compare the pair:
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Councillors get suspended under the Code of Conduct for liking a post, saying something someone doesnโ€™t like, or even questioning attendance numbers...
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Meanwhile, two young guys confess to firebombing a factory AND a city nightclub, millions in damage, and they walk free with a community order...

Arson? No worries...
Hurt someoneโ€™s feelings? Hammer drops...
Welcome to Victoria ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Raising a glass of Prosecco to my wonderful friend whoโ€™s leaving Victoria and heading north to QLD for new opportunities. Victoriaโ€™s loss is Queenslandโ€™s gain!

Grateful for all the memories weโ€™ve made here ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ โค๏ธ

Thank you, David Limbrick MP - Libertarian for moving to restore free speech in our councils in Parliament earlier this week, and for the shout out ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ You are correct, I have had to defend my right to simply have an opinion on more than one occasion.

While Parliamentarians enjoy full freedom of speech, protected by privilege, Councillors in Local Government can face sanctions and lengthy, expensive arbitration, all billed back to ratepayersโ€ฆ

In a democracy, challenging ideas and sharing different views should not be controversial. Enough with the censorship.

Been reading lots about the UK council elections, interesting reading... Putting a cheeky tenner on Keir Starmer being replaced before Christmas at Sportsbet's 1.17. Mate, if the odds are that short the bookies basically think he's a goner too. ๐Ÿ’จ Not that I'm endorsing gambling or anything. But hey, when your state government signs a 40-year deal with the lottery corporation for a $1.145 billion upfront sugar hit, done behind closed doors with zero public tender, suddenly the lectures about 'problem gambling' go very quiet... The same crowd that clutches pearls over a cheeky punt is balancing the budget on punters' losses... So yeahโ€ฆ Starmer by December it is. Who's in? ๐Ÿฟ"
