Raf prefaces his answer saying he has an aspiration to have hair on his head and not on his face Goes on to say Dutton's tax "aspiration" should have had details supporting it weeks ago and is too little, too disingenuous, too late Raf should be on #insiders every week

It's was mentioned in the State Ombudsman's report, written about by media outlests countless times, been the subject of much City of #Ballarat council discussion, and now an area of focus for an auditor's report. I give you the Flemish chandelier! Seems a bit underwhelming 🤷‍♂️

Five years ago to this day I was sworn in as a Minister. What a privilege, what a ride. And created a little history too as I became the first Minister sworn in by Her Excellency the Hon. Linda Dessau & of course we are both Jewish too, the first time in Victoria’s history. – at Melbourne, Victoria

Stuart Benjamin from @RDAGrampians giving us perspective on the magnitude of disruption: "If you think that the way you operate is going to be the same in five years ... You're bonkers. I drove a car here that drives itself, three years ago you would have thought I was bonkers."

"It's important that we embed the ongoing benefits of new projects in the local community, for example, wind farms in the Mallee, and renewables in the Grampians," says Stuart Benjamin. #BetterTogether2019 @RDAGrampians
