Goulburn Valley Health says a claim that Shepparton currently has 20 active cases of COVID-19 linked to specific areas is “false and inappropriate”. The latest DHHS figures show Greater Shepparton has 4 active COVID-19 cases.

This is just another obvious case of the police letting white supremacist ideas run free. If they’re going to hold the (bullshit) line that officers don’t know what this symbol means, just come out and say: “this symbol has racist connotations. If you make it, you’re fired.”

The Federal Government has announced over $8.5 million in funding for the Shepparton Mall redevelopment. The design will accommodate the wishes of most traders, including slower moving traffic, limited removal of trees and a community hub. Construction could begin in early 2021.

That’s disgusting. I don’t want to see images like this in my paper! 🙄 #DoubleStandards #GoTaylah ⁦@taylaharriss⁩

Despite a lifetime of unimaginable suffering at the hands of cruel, twisted people, Kyabram's Tracey Randell survived. And now she's about to meet her long-lost adopted brother. Something that means the world to her. My piece for @sheppartonnews

Bryce Mold has been addicted to drugs for the better part of a decade.

He’s five months clean, and surprisingly, credits the pandemic for keeping him on track. @sheppartonnews https://t.co/ArJ2BUA1Bc

Been getting in to the sport of strong man recently, had a lot of fun writing this. Just an FYI, the Mountain from GOT will be going for the 501kg deadlift world record tonight. I for one will be watching at 2am.

Seriously, get inspired by Brooke Williams! She recently returned to competitive running after being diagnosed with a serious heart condition, and now she's made a virtual run for heart research this weekend. Get involved!

Coomboona's fish and chip shop hero, George Kontakos, dragged a woman from a burning car last week saving her life. He really didn't want to make a fuss about it though.
