I got hauled up a year ago for saying something offensive like that. The young woman saw it it as an opportunity to get noticed, by eaves dropping my conversation with someone of similar age, using old school (polite) vernacular. The fact I was not a public servant was of no consequence, so apology paperwork had to be forwarded and archived and the girl's career went down the toilet ..... as is expected when natural selection kicks in.
 
I'm no Andrews fan. But the fact is that he went to that election with scrapping EW Link as a key policy. If he went ahead and had it built he would have been in breach of his own stated policy. As for the wasted $1bill, well that's an absolute disgrace of a situation and both sides are to blame. Libs for signing off on it and Labour for not re-evaluating their decision once it became known how costly it would be to bail.

I do give the Andrews Government credit for actually pushing forward with Metro Rail, after the last 10 premiers have talked about it and done f-all to action it. The last major public transport upgrade in Melbourne was the city loop in the 80s, when our population was 2.8mill....is now 3.5mill and growing rapidly. If we continue to prioritise freeways over PT this city will end up like LA.

Just be glad that Australian engineers weren't keen on designing dams with "glory hole" spillways.

Had they done so then, well, no doubt we'd have to call them something else since that would be deemed offensive.

Plenty of them in the US and other places though.

I presume this is the sort of thing you were talking about ?

I wasn't aware of either connotation of the term before, so thanks for the education !

That's it. There's a few variations in the terminology but thankfully we haven't widely used that design in Australia otherwise the politically correct brigade would have a fit about language every time there's a minor flood.

Seem a lot of trouble to go to when you can just let the water spill over the wall.

Andrews lied through his teeth saying that scrapping the east west wouldn't cost anything he's a creep of the highest order
 
Sitting Govts must always be held responsible for events under their watch... good or bad.

Therefore we must credit the Andrews Govt for Melbourne being the worlds' most livable city ;)
 
Ok so on a more serious note what is the actual fail? Not enough facilities? Soft laws? Delayed responses? Should they have been moved to an adult centre? I remember some story about youths being moved to an adult prison which was later deemed illegal (different facility I think).
Not much info in that Andrew Bolt link (apart from a comment about building a wall.. lol)
 
So when are we finding out the rorting that Daniels Andrews and the Labor Govt did in Victoria to win the election?

Victorian premier Daniel Andrews asks High Court to block inquiry into MPs' rorts

The legal battle over an investigation into allegations of Labor MPs' misusing taxpayer-funded allowances during the 2014 Victorian election campaign is headed to the High Court.

The Andrews Labor government is seeking special leave to appeal the Court of Appeal's decision regarding the Ombudsman's jurisdiction to investigate the allegations.

Ombudsman Deborah Glass asked the Supreme Court to clarify whether her office had the power to investigate alleged rorts following a Legislative Council request to do so in November 2015.

I that the one showing some kid beating a roof fan cowl to within an inch of its life and the news service reporting it as an air conditioner? The inference being of course that these kids enjoy air conditioning and the life of Riley, while the rest of us have to pay for it.

Yep. Apparently they believed the air conditioning worked better on the outside during the day. After discovering their error from a few hours of planking and subsequent sunburn they used the air conditioning cowl to break back into the prison much to the confusion of the media who didn't know whether they were coming or going.

Malmsbury... Nice one day - Ice the next.
 
Hinch: ‘Something is rotten in Victoria’

Senator Derryn Hinch says Victoria will soon need to change its numberplates to “The Crime State”.

The long-time crime crusader turned politician launched an extraordinary attack on the Andrews Government in the Senate on Tuesday night, declaring violence in his home state as “out of control”.

He said Melbourne was now “barely recognised” as a place that had long been lauded the “most liveable city in the world’.

“Something is rotten in the state of Victoria. Really rotten,” Senator Hinch said.

“Street crime, gang crime, home invasions, car jackings, prison riots, and a court system that lets a man out on bail despite strenuous police opposition and it results in carnage in the Bourke Street Mall.”

Hinch pointed to “dozens of Sudanese youths” terrorising Caroline Springs at the weekend.

“I’ll identify them as Sudanese even though it’s political incorrect to do so,” he said.

“Dozens of Sudanese youths terrorised and terrified families at a community fireworks night … running through the crowd snatching mobile phones and hand bags. Punching anyone who resisted.”

He said one teenager was bashed and had his phone stolen “right outside the Caroline Springs police station”.

Senator Hinch accused authorities of treating troublemakers with “kid gloves” and giving them ice cream and pizzas while in juvenile detention as rewards for behaving themselves.

“Although the way the current government treats them you can understand if they see themselves as clients. Or customers.

He also attacked the Victorian Government for subsiding taxis and Uber rides for the parents of offenders in youth detention to visit them.

Senator Hinch also attacked the bail system, saying he was surprised that young offenders where behind bars at all because “they usually get bailed so easily”.

“Thugs repeatedly are given chance after chance out on bail and go on to commit further offences,” he said.

“The justice system and magistrates continue to put the offender first and the victim and community protection last.”

“Jesus wept. How much have they learned since? Mollycoddling doesn’t work. Ignoring reality doesn’t work.”

“The way things are going our next numberplate slogan shouldn’t be ‘Victoria: The Garden State’ or ‘Victoria: The Place To Be’.

It should be ‘Victoria, The Crime State’.”
 
LOL. Try living in Mt Druitt NSW. It's been all of the above for the last 30 years.

Every house has bars on the windows. Mine are electrified :)

Craigieburn in VIC is in training mode.
 
These Sudanese thugs should be deported immediately if they cause problems.

That's a responsibility of the Federal government, so instead of just berating the State government (although some criticism of them may be justified), I suggest people write to the Immigration Minister and enquire why these troublemakers are allowed to remain here.

Isn't Sudan the same place that the loud mouthed girl on QANDA hails from.... the one that maintains Islam is superior in every way for peace and self esteem, her origin country must be like Xanadu?

The Apex gang also includes coconuts, afghans, asians and non Australian whites.
