I counted Tim Picton as a colleague, comrade and mate. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing.
We worked together over many years, through his roles for former Premier Daniel Andrews and with the Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority.
He worked on many different things for the Victorian people, but his biggest contributions were transport, transport and transport.
Tim Picton got Victorians moving. He made a massive difference helping remove dozens of level crossings and getting started on the Metro Tunnel, the West Gate Tunnel, the North East Link, and so much more.
Today, I recognise his countless friends and colleagues in the Victorian labour movement, who are feeling shock and grief.
On behalf of the Victorian Government and the Victorian Labor Party, I send my heartfelt condolences to Priya, to Charlotte, to everyone in his family, and to everyone who loved him.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country.
Never forget the Victorian footy media told everyone that players that are drafted to a new Tasmania Football team won’t want to live there and they won’t retain players.
2024.
Tasmania woman’s cricket 3 x 🏆
The Jackjumpers as good as chance as anyone to win the title.
Now the Sheffield Shield team on the verge of hosting the final.
Tasmania are guaranteed of playing in the Sheffield Shield final. Will still need a draw against South Australia to ensure it hosts the Final.
Gabe Bell and Beau Webster with monster games again.

Bill Granger was arguably most influential pioneer of modern Australian food. His "sunny" (his word, not mine) codification of Australian cafe culture at bills is the model on which every Australian cafe around the world is now built.
Bloody great guy, too.
Vale, Bill.
Merry Xmas everyone. For all the rubbish that takes place on this app, I want to leave you with the greatest bit of TV ever captured. Love to your families.
From spending an hour in the dressing-rooms at the end of the Test series in Lahore last year chatting & cracking jokes to seeing them mingling in the presence of the families bearing gifts today, the camaraderie between the Aussie & Pakistan players is quite special #AusvPak
