Dan Andrews may not be getting a bronze statue because of the right-wing media temper tantrums in Victoria, but I’ll always remember him as a great Premier. Love ya, Dan! ❤️

BREAKING NEWS: The City of Melbourne gave an $11,250 taxpayer funded grant to “Amplify Bookstore”
They are taxpayer funded and they refuse to stock white authors!!! They told me that I’m too white as a Greek Cypriot to be sold there
Australia is banning my NDIS investigation...
Mona Salem of Hope and Care has succeeded in getting @YouTube to remove our latest NDIS investigation and block it across Australia.
This sets a dangerous precedent: investigate where taxpayer dollars are going, and you can be silenced.
Australians deserve answers, not censorship.
@AlboMP STAND UP FOR AUSTRALIANS.
This Melbourne bookstore “Amplify” only stocks non-white authors.
So I went there to ask if I could get a book in their store as somebody of Greek Cypriot ancestry.
Unfortunately she told me that they could not sell my book as I was too white for the store.
Shocking new developments in race science
Bloody Labor you cannot believe a word they say.
“The first teenager sentenced under Victoria’s “adult time for violent crime” laws after holding a knife to a taxi driver’s throat has walked free from court without spending a day behind bars, with a judge wishing her good luck as he handed her an 18-month youth supervision order.”

Morning Australia
The African engineer that stabbed a women and bashed a 10 year old child yesterday was known to police across THREE states
Yes, you heard that right
Known to police across 3 states

Mr @DHughesy , Comedian by trade, is shining more of a light on state and federal corruption than any journalist could ever dream of.
Concerning that this IS the level of journalism in Australia.
But hey the Richmond Tigers had a Mad Monday in which a journalist drove 1 hr to record a private function.
Dave Hughes is seeing what the 'far right' have been trying to warn you about since about 2015.
Dave and his wife were successful and altruistic. They did everything the left asked him to do. He has rescue pets, helps single mums have cheap rent, he pays extra tax.
But then he noticed a lie. Then he noticed 20 lies. So he asked a question.
The Party doesn't allow questions from anyone with a platform. So Dave, who did everything just as the Party had asked, now deserves his property confiscated. Because @DHughesy asked a question.
Its a tragedy in 3 parts, or perhaps a trilogy in 5 parts, as Douglas Adams would say.
This is the animal who stabbed with scissors a 10-year-old boy and a 30-year-old female.
The following will 100% happen without One Nation in power
1/ He won’t be deported
2/ He will be released on bail
The teenagers in Melbourne who bashed a Vietnamese Australian shop-owner to death have been released by a judge and are back at school !!
One more reason to vote One Nation

The first thing I did as Premier was call a Royal Commission into crime and misconduct in Victoria's construction industry.
I did that because Victorians deserve the truth. They deserve to know how organised crime found its way onto our building sites, who allowed it to happen, and how we make sure it never happens again. Nothing less than a Royal Commission, with full coercive powers and public hearings, will get us there.
Today I am announcing how that Commission will work.
I have appointed the honourable Chris Kourakis AC as Royal Commissioner.
He is a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia, served on that Court for over 18 years, is a former Solicitor-General, and is a Companion of the Order of Australia.
He is a jurist of unquestioned integrity, with impartiality and an unwavering fidelity to the rule of law and he has a single motivation: to ensure the law serves the community.
I chose someone independent, rigorous and fearless. The best in Australia. Because that is what this job demands.
The terms of reference are broad and expansive, nothing is off limits.
They cover the conduct of the CFMEU, construction companies, labour hire firms, consortia and criminal actors on Victoria's major projects. And they cover the role of government; the executive, government departments anddelivery agencies in overseeing the projects.
Critically, the terms of reference make it a matter for the Commissioner to decide whose actions and whose knowledge are relevant to the matters under investigation.
Not the government. Not me. The Commissioner. If he wants to hear from Ministers, former Ministers, senior officials, union leaders or company executives, he has the power to call them.
The Commission will be funded with a budget of up to $50 million and I have asked it to report within 12 months. Victorians should not have to wait years for answers, and I will not allow this to be an exercise that runs into the never-never. It will be thorough and it will be timely.
The Commission's role is to uncover misconduct and to make recommendations that prevent it from happening in the future. It will follow the money, examine the systems that were exploited, and tell us plainly what went wrong and what must change. My government will act on what it finds.
I want to be clear and direct with Victorians about something. A Royal Commission does not have the power to charge or prosecute anyone. It can compel evidence and make findings, but it cannot put people before a court.
That is why we are establishing an Office of the Special Prosecutor: a dedicated, embedded resource working alongside the Commission, so that when wrongdoing is uncovered, it is investigated and it is pursued, and people face consequences.
We will legislate to create the Office of the Special Prosecutor to ensure it has access to all the information and evidence it needs to do its job. Findings will not sit on a shelf. They will be acted on.
I will appoint the Special Prosecutor once the office is created in statute in September. I will be taking advice from the Commissioner on that appointment, and we will legislate for the Special Prosecutor to have their own prosecution powers.
Today I’m also announcing that we’re fast-tracking changes toexpand IBAC’s jurisdiction. Legislation is now being drafted to give IBAC follow the money powers and expand the definition of corrupt conduct.
I called this Royal Commission on my first day as Premier. I am appointing an independent Commissioner, giving him the powers, the scope, the money and the time to get to the truth, and backing it up with a prosecutor to make sure the truth has consequences.
Never thought this day would come 💔
Two-time premiership player Steele Sidebottom will call time on a remarkable career at the end of 2026.
