Speaking of politicians pay rises...

The 17yo didn't want to go but accompanied his father.

No surprise there.

Time to get the clippers out.

What annoys me is the speed restriction signs, and the only visible people/vehicles is the traffic management contractors at the end of the slow zone.

Today, I saw a traffic restriction on the three lane Canterbury Rd., outside a house construction site. There was a truck with materials parked in the left lane, and a fork lift unloading goods in the middle lane, squeezing traffic from three lanes to one. No Stop/Go marshalls.

They never learn.

How's this for confusing?

$250,000 for a ticket to death.

While the public is suffering skyrocketing cost of living rises, and off the chart rental and mortgage rates, Victorian politicians have been given a 3.5% raise to their basic salary. They can earn more by sitting on committees, etc.

Now, before you go kicking the living suitcase out of me, I realise that these rises are granted by an independent tribunal, and not the pollies themselves, none have knocked it back.

This now makes Dan Andrews basic salary $480,000, the highest of any state premier.

The tribunal was set up in 2017. Andrews salary at the time was $100,000.
