The suspense continues! Voting of all primary votes is now complete I'm now second place just behind by a mere 20 votes. I'm proud of our community-based campaign who joined us in battling political machinery. The count is not over this will be decided on preferences on Monday.

We did it! Thank you to Montague community! I am honoured to be elected as the inaugural Councillor for Montague Ward. We were outspent and battled misinformation around the ward - but the strength of community always prevails.

Thursday's Council meeting was the first for the newly elected Councilors of the City of Port Phillip and I am genuinely excited over the spirit of goodwill between Councillors and shared commitment to community. alexmakin.com.au/2024/11/my-fir…

Why Nina Taylor MP is there no frequent public transport for communities across Port Phillip? Frequencies for bus route 606 is inadequate and fails to recognise that it is the only east/west option connecting Fishermans Bend, Port Melbourne, Albert Park, Middle Park and St Kilda

This is what happens when there's a creeping tolerance for religious and racial hatred. The world has been in these dark places before, call it out so we don't slide further towards that darkness. theage.com.au/national/victo…

Route 900 runs close to midnight during the week and weekends ,just don’t try catching it between 9.30 and 3.20 pm. #ptv

What's the quickest way to get across Port Phillip by public transport? Apparently going almost into the CBD and then back out again.... This is why the City of Port Phillip needs upgraded bus services that cater to travel across the municipality and beyond #publictransport #ptv

Rather than subsidies that further entrench car dependency and the associated social, economic and environment costs, invest in public transport infrastructure and compel States to lift service frequencies: theage.com.au/politics/feder… #springst #publictransit #publictransport

Clearly it's assumed students don't go to La Trobe University during the middle of the day. The oddities of bus route 350. #publictransport #publictransit #melbourne

What’s theatre got to do with it? We’re watching Tina Turner the musical at Princess Theatre #Melbourne #arts #theatre #musicaltheatre

It is absurd that in 2025 you close branches at 4pm yet do not enable change of signatories for a not for profit online NAB
