Jacinta Allan has been issued a warning over her beloved $34bn Suburban Rail Loop, told by a global ratings agency to ditch the project or send the state nosediving into mammoth debt. > https://t.co/1wzkKNNO9A
Medicinal cannabis patients shouldn’t have to choose between being in pain or driving.
I appeared in the Star News to discuss the failures of driving laws and prohibition.
It is time we stop treating people like criminals for consuming cannabis.

@sam_ikin@TraceyLee_07 Sorry @sam_ikin but civics is a must. Imparting one’s politics on the youth is a valid concern but part of the problem that exists in politics today is how little a large section of the population knows about basic politics.
It's time to clean up Victoria.
Here's 5 things we can do right now to cripple organised crime in Victoria :
1. Legalise vaping for adults
Use economics to destroy a $500m Victorian organised crime market.
2. Pressure federal Government to lower tobacco excise to a reasonable level
Use economics to destroy a $2 billion+ national organised crime market.
3. Legalise cannabis for adults
Use economics to destroy a $1 billion+ Victorian organised crime market.
4. Accelerate pharmacotherapy rollout
Opiate substitutes undermine the $250m Victorian heroin organised crime market.
5. End all workforce diversity procurement policy requirements
Winning tenders should be based on quality, price and ability to deliver.

@MickamiousG There were 8.5k insolvencies in 2023. 28% of those were construction related businesses. 96% of these cases, creditors saw between $0 - $0.11 recovered from what they were owed. At present there’s about $50B owed to the ATO by approximately 50k businesses. Not promising.
@melissa_go9393 @Just_Krystle_M 😂 Gotta love this reply. Particularly when the tax gets passed via an increase in rent or the product sold to the consumer. Then people complain about the cost of living crisis. 🤦♂️
Congratulations to @JMilei, who it appears is set to become the libertarian president of Argentina!
He has a lot of work ahead of him to try and get Argentina’s economy back on track.

@johnhumphreys99 Australia has entered a second quarter of GDP per capita decline. That’s a technical GDP recession. I was reading the data earlier. It confirms your statement John
We all suffered unnecessary lockdowns that breached human rights. Compensation won’t work as it’s all sourced from taxpayers anyway. Time for the royal commission. At least let’s learn from the mistakes to make sure they never happen again.
1/ We were the effective opposition in Victoria through COVID. We have no qualms calling out ALP financial mismanagement even as the Liberals silently acquiesced to COVID excesses. But instead of wailing about humiliation and regional jobs, we say - good @timpallas; what next?
If you support the Federal Government’s new misinformation bill, here’s a challenge for you.
Name the person in Government that you trust more than yourself to determine what is misinformation. I’ll wait…
