A Greens motion of no-confidence in Premier Jeremy Rockliff has been defeated after a day of debate 26 votes to 6. Labor voted with the government. The threat of an early election eases, for now. #politas

Opponents of the Collins St bike lane trial have launched their online petition calling for a Council-funded public meeting. But change dot org doesn’t capture enough information for this type of petition, so all the current signatures are likely invalid #politas

Amsterdam’s plan to remove 11,200 parking spaces from its streets by the end of 2025 is even more inspiring when we realize the kind of people-places that are possible where cars used to be. Example — #Amsterdam’s Elandsgracht between 2014 & 2019, via @schlijper’s great pics.
