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.

The way it is being portrayed in TV commercials by the Mining Council, is that someone, from their first day on the job, must be paid the same as someone with fifteen years experience if they are doing the same job, and someone who is always nicking off for a smoko, etc must be paid the same as someone putting in the full effort. No incentive or reward for effort or experience.

Onextrack, I saw someone on TV the other day say that in W.A. now, you cannot move a barrow load of soil without a permit. zIs this true?

I won't comment. I'll leave it to you to state your opinion on the proposed new law.

It's been going on for ages. Ayres Rock > Ularu - you can't climb it. Fraser Island > K'gari.  Moreland > Merri-Bek. What next?

Football teams renamed to indi names during the indig round. Is there  no end.

The Voice question should not be linked to recognition in the constitution. Thi will not lead to reconciliation.
