          Welcome to modern politics of the last few decades.

          There is basically 0 chance that Viclib will take back government, but Labor will definitely lose multiple, just remains to be seen who takes them.

          Yes the Vic Govt is draining the coffers as they know they are going to lose.
          Just like the State Labor Govt did in Qld.
          The Vic Govt owes more money than the other states combined.
          And Victorians think this is a good thing?
          It means no money for the services provided by the state government so dont complain when there are no police with crime out of control (as it is) or you cant get into a hospital etc

You never played or watched sport live. You refused to take tax cuts and other govt handouts, during the GFC and covid especially. You're living off-grid so that you don't impinge on taxpayer funded lines and poles. You're donating an equivalent amount of your annual super contibutions to charity or possibly the LNP, who as you know gave Big Gas a free ride on our backs to the tune of at least $100B.

          I hope Greens/Independents win more seats in upcoming elections, which could help in putting more pressure on federal govt. to tax top 1% and at least 25% on gas exports! The Labor seriously need to do something about all-time high income inequality rather than dolling out free money and chocking the middle class (OzBargainers community largely) further.

            They said yes, but due to this there will be no negotiation about rent increase. “Due to works about to be completed”

            7 months later still no fly screens installed, although they’ve come for a measure and quoted $1500 installed.

            But they’re coming in the next few weeks, just in time for winter…

              I’m not sure if they overcharged your landlord or I’m undercharged my clients. Hmmmmmm

                  How about the CFMEU? Do I have to live in Victoria to know that the administrator alleges that 15 to 30 billion was rorted from the government via major projects?

                  It's pretty simple in VIC. The government thinks they should be sharing the spoils of hard work with those that haven't worked hard.

              Actual information from the experts:

              Block-quote "However, when measuring crime on a per capita basis, Melbourne’s crime rate is actually lower today (18,097 per 100,000) compared to 2016 (18,334 per 100,000)."

              Block-quote "There is a similar picture unfolding in Melbourne, with drug use and possession down 7.5% and drug dealing and trafficking down 20.6% since last year."

              Block-quote"Many of the increases in recorded crime are in line with national trends, indicating no real cause for local alarm. Meanwhile, significant recorded crimes, such as homicides and drug related offences, show drastic drops."

        QLD would never do a massive public stunt that involves giving free money to people for things like transport for example. That's just throwing away money! Only VIC is evil.

        I wish we had the soaring house prices that other states have as well as all their other shitty ideas in VIC. Shame the government is incompetent and seems to be dealing well with the housing crisis. 😭

                  @gakko: Exactly, government has literally been the only institution in history that has been able to keep the rich elite in check, not always successfully, but it's has been the only thing but somehow people get "Government = Bad", of course that is intentional when you look at who is spreading these ideals and the owner of those platforms.

                  Maybe we should ask Ms. Rinehart and DJT down the streets if they could help us instead.

                  @gakko: By your own logic you just assumed i said all government is bad which i did not. i just pointed out some of the bad. And to call someone from australia a Maga is actually funny, what has that got to do with anything being said? did we hurt your little feelings and instead of having a big boy conversation you try and make the other person immediately the bad guy? maybe grow up and you can come back to the big boy table once you learn to point at facts to prove your point because no doubt everyone that disagrees with you now is a naz* or a rac*st too.

                  @2ndeffort: Sure they can be included in the one of many groups stuffing over the rest of us? You cannot make a country this stuffed without many peoples hands in the old cookie jar.

          Giving free money?, is it really free money after they tax the shit out of you?

          You cant really deal with a housing crisis if no one wants to live there.

          Oh they’ve definitely dealt with the housing demand… by making Melbourne undesirable to live in. This isn’t the W you think it is

        Just tax more from business owners a landlords and give out more handouts, no one will complain about that. Long as there are more workers and renters than business owners and landlord, we will still have the vote of the majority.

          You don't seem to realise that all that expenditure gets passed straight back to you. For some reason people love to tax "other people". Taxes and free stuff are just false incentives and don't actually fix any of the problems in society.

        Ok, I am "watching out".

        So what exactly should I be doing?

        Please provide practical advice.

        People whose family tree isn't a straight stick understands the government is for the people not for the epstein class. only someone whose wife is their mum and sister would willingly vote for a right wing (profanity). Only these inbred muppets would pay a 'cheap' $4 billion for overseas trains, then blow another $2 billion fixing them, when they could have just supported local industry for $5 billion from the start. Great economic mangers everyone…

        Just paid mine .. $930. It varies by region though which is absolutely moronic.

          Not if you live in the region where it's cheaper ;)

          It includes third party bodily injury insurance which in other states you need to purchase separately

          So it’s $930 plus CTP? If not that is expensive

          I just paid my NSW rego, about $380 plus $450 CTP

            @Grok: It's $930 inclusive. Basically the same as NSW.
