Should Mildura be prioritised over the SRL, Melbourne and the regions closer to Melbourne. You know more about Ouyen than I do. SRL catchment 1.4m people Regions : 330K Mildura: 73K

Still trying to work out how Monash the largest uni in the southern hemisphere is a train to nowhere yet Beulah on the way to Mildura is a train to somewhere. Anyone want to do a feasibility study here isn’t this better for freight (the reason for gauge conversion 🥸)

So the Liberal gronka are trying to argue that Box Hill is a train to nowhere but Mildura is a train to somewhere (and yes I believe a train should go to Mildura following other steps)

A piece of mine on the Australian Greens policy of opposing military assistance to Ukraine, and what parties that advocate "peace and nonviolence" get wrong about countries like Russia. @AmbVasyl thediplomat.com/2026/10/what…

What the Greens Misunderstand About the Ukraine Conflict

As a policy, the Greens decision to not support military assistance to Ukraine is a deeply flawed one. As a political position it is self-defeating, too.

My issue with a train to Mildura on its own is the break of gauge as well the fact that there are so many other regional areas that are closer to Melbourne and need upgrades or reinstatement of service. It can be done but in a phased approach.

Finally something for PT although they need to focus on investment not just cheaper fares. doesn’t need to be expensive like bus reform, bike lanes etc @BenCarrollMP @AnthonyC4PV @SarahConnollyMP @Steve_Dimo @paul4frankston @mjfregon @VickiWardMP

Labor promises $30 weekly PT fare cap if re-elected. This would go for 2 years. The premier says this would cost $206m, with offsetting savings found. abc.net.au/news/2026-10-19/v… #springst

Victorian Labor pledges $30-a-week public transport fare cap

Premier Ben Carroll has pledged to cap public transport fares at $30 a week if the Labor government is re-elected next month, the second transport capping pledge in as many days.

Disappointing. Would much rather have seen a policy for PT than copying Lib policy toll cap.

Trump is helping Russia kill Ukrainians. Russia is helping Iran kill Americans. Trump is an anti-american traitor.

In Clarinda, crews recently moved the cutterhead down into the launch shaft, attaching it to TBM Belinda.
A large, green tunnel boring machine cutterhead is inside a spacious industrial site. Several workers are present, wearing safety gear.

I haven’t seen any cases where people prefer cars when there are alternative options exist. Of course a minority will always prefer the car no matter what but even the richest societies overwhelmingly choose the cheapest and most convenient option

Lots of people drive cars in the US but that doesn't mean they want to. Car fanatics want us to believe that car-dominance is because customers love cars. But choices reveal desires only when there are real options. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/10/…
