My hot take on Brunswick Skyrail The proposed northern station location is problematic. Self interested parties are arguing to move it south of Hope St but this also doesn’t work -will not allow for good bus connectivity Buses currently run on Albion. Leave the station there.

The year is 2058. The Melbourne bike lanes have been ripped up and reinstalled for the 62nd time. The average daily temperature is 45° and trees no longer exist but the council is still unsure on the viability of sustainable transport

Those Moonee Valley sniffer dogs may as well make their way over to Richmond Town Hall

Can someone explain the complete lack of media scrutiny when Jolly gets a donation of $20k from one individual? Who is this person and why isn’t The Age asking the question theage.com.au/politics/victo…
