Kids, 8, with long Covid, as Vic hurtles towards a sick leave gen heraldsun.com.au/news/victor…
Allan government’s ‘official silence’ on Vic’s deadly Covid wave ‘must end’ heraldsun.com.au/news/victor…
A long read on Victoria’s worsening Covid situation from me, in light of recent deaths, hospitalisations & nursing home outbreaks. Vic Department of Health’s response (included) is interesting. Is ‘living with Covid’ now killing too many Victorians? heraldsun.com.au/news/victor…
Big and important job for racing integrity commissioner Sean Carroll in getting this review into a dark side of the industry right. Spotlight on sex assaults, harassment, hazing in Vic’s racing industry - across all codes - has been a long time coming. heraldsun.com.au/news/victor…
Vale Greg Mitchell. A kind, clever and funny man. A skilled & caring surgeon. A man of many talents. A lover of car doors that closed with ‘a proper thud’. A champion of #BCNA and pioneer. A man who saved the lives of many cancer patients, including mine. geelongadvertiser.com.au/new…
Fiji demanding more than talk from ScoMo on climate change.
Australia's pledge is a start. I've now urged @ScottMorrisonMP to show us a concrete plan to halve emissions by 2030.
I've given him a copy of Fiji's Climate Change Act as a guide –– it is our uniquely Fijian way of following the science to keep faith with future generations.

Today I watched a maskless anti-vaxxer with ‘freedom fighter’ on her shirt and Aussie flag taped to her hat walk into a full Ocean Grove Direct Chemist Outlet and not check in - and be served without a single staff member/pharmacist questioning her on lack of either mask or QR.
This eagle tracking really is something
Wyatt the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle reached a new personal best altitude of 1950 m the other day. Using the thermal updraft he gained up to 4.5 m/sec in height. #wedgetailedeagle 🦅

Seems like everyone is being scammed right now. Reckon I’ve had 6 scam texts today. But none asked for $1500.
Epic battles out the front of my house lately between nesting magpies and a pair of plovers with chicks (sadly had 3 on Saturday now down to one). Plovers easily seeing off the maggies. No contest. The court is a dangerous place to be right now though.

How I love this story. And the fact the dress is getting another outing. It looks fab.
I don't usually flag what I'm wearing on the telly, but Rhonda's dress is getting another spin tonight. I save it for days when good things happen... and today is definitely one of those for Victorians.

Perhaps the strongest line in the Fiji PM’s COVID vax statement (earlier tweet) this morning is this, re what he calls the”foolishness” & “smug ignorance” of anti-vaxxers. He’s really fired up.
Fighting words on “unholy insanity” of COVID anti-vaxxers from Fiji’s PM Frank Bainimarama this morn with no jab, no job, no benefits rhetoric. Claims 75% of Fiji adults now had 1 or 2 doses, with 80% by Oct. In a poor, mountainous nation with 110 inhabited islands- a big effort
‘All that BS’ you say Ross Walter, naturopath, as you encourage people to break the law and put themselves and others at risk.

Makes me a bit sad that this ‘Maltese bathroom’, lovingly tiled by its owner - who says he put this “heart and soul” into building his St Albans home - will inevitably be rendered ‘neutral’ on sale. Story via @scottcarbines
"My heart and soul is in this house ... it’s too good to demolish.
"But then again, on the other hand, if I get the money I want, I don’t care".
