I dislike Daniel Andrews intensely

Jump to new

Judicial system is necessarily a reactionary establishment, while Parliament is supposed to be the actionary headquarters.

Be interesting to timeline the aggravation from it's roots to now. Is it simply us thinking herd rules are enough to contain the individual, are we too consumed with benevolence that we can't see the worth of malevolence, are we just all too worn out from chasing wealth, chatels and castles?
 
Victoria Police to be non-binary inclusive by adding third gender

The database could be updated to allow a non-binary category for people who don’t identify as either.
-----------

Victoria Police is set to officially add a third gender option for non-binary people in its internal database.

The police force is looking into alternative ways to record gender in addition to its current categories of male, female and unknown, according to The Australian.

The database could be updated to allow a non-binary category for people who don’t identify as either.

Government agencies have been pushed to comply with new guidelines on the recognition of sex and gender, and lobbying from the LGBTI community has contributed to the proposed change.

“A piece of work is currently being undertaken to scope alternative models for capturing and recording gender in a more inclusive way,” said a Victoria Police spokesperson.

“Relevant consultation with members of the LGBTI community has and will continue to inform this piece of work.”

Senior police members recently met with the Victorian government’s LGBTI Justice Working Group to discuss the project.

“A word like ‘unknown’ is really at odds with what a person knows to be the case about themselves,” said Harriet Shing, joint chair of the working group.

“Having a system that reflects people’s identity is about inclusiveness but fundamentally it’s about dignity and recognition.”

Tink as someone who has had concerns with the Victorian crime rate you must be disgusted by opposition leader Mather Guy meeting with the alleged Mafia boss. Truly disgraceful chasing up donations from criminals.
 
Yeah, three guesses as to "which bank" they hide their money

For me, the bigger question is why the acceptance of mafia bosses and why aren't they locked up? Surely the corruption is at a basic level that the army could cleanup in the absence of willing police and legal profession?
 
I have said already, overhang, we have become the CRIME state.
 
A Country Fire Authority board member sacked by the Victorian government amid a heated pay saga is making a tilt for the emergency services minister's seat.

Sassafras-Ferny Creek volunteer brigade captain John Schurink has been preselected as the Liberal candidate for Monbulk - the seat held by Deputy Premier and Emergency Services Minister James Merlino since 2002.

Mr Merlino dismissed the CFA board, including Mr Schurink, in June 2016 after it failed to endorse a pay deal backed by the government and which is still in limbo.

Women at Victoria's CFA say they are being sexually harassed then bullied and ignored if they reveal what happened to them, a secret internal report has found.

Men also told investigators they were bullied, and were harassed and looked over for career progression if they tried to challenge the toxic internal culture.

This sort of stuff gives unions a bad name and unfortunately it's always the humble worker getting caught in the cross fire. It was this issue that cost Bill Shorten a seat in the last election. So now would be a good time for the bloke to pull his finger out and disown that union by rejecting their donations. Won't happen though.
 
The thing that has irked me about Daniel Andrews recently is his change of stance in relation to assisted dying, not because he now supports it, but because he only changed his mind because of a personal experience relating to the death of a member of his family. He couldn't give a stuff about other people's suffering before but as soon as he is personally affected he switches sides.

Not that he's alone, all the pollies live in their ivory towers out of touch with everyone else.
 
I don't have a problem with that one.

I'd rather they dispose of their dirty needles in a lab rather than dump them on the beach.
 
I have a week booked at Bright
Wasted now no point driving 3 hours in this to holiday in the rain.
Good timing eh ? Reminds me of my share trading expertise.
 
Yeppers... blame Andrews for the weather. The Greens blamed Howard for it
 
Counter-terror squad to patrol Melbourne's streets

Victoria Police will tomorrow launch new roving Critical Incident Response Teams (CIRT) to patrol the city and respond to high risk incidents in a matter of minutes.

Under the new model, teams of CIRT members will be fully kitted up and driving around the CBD and inner Melbourne in marked and unmarked vehicles. They will also be operating during iconic major events throughout the state.

For the majority of time the community will never see CIRT members on the street. However, if a major incident was to occur they will be able to quickly arrive on the scene.

Deputy Commissioner Andrew Crisp, Regional Operations, said the roving CIRT teams had been put in place to strengthen community safety.

“The reality is that if a major threat was to occur, we have to act quickly,” Deputy Commissioner Crisp said.

“This new model means we will have highly specialist police quickly on the scene, which significantly reduces any threat to the community.

“Learning from models and incidents overseas, we know these highly responsive teams are on par with global best practice and will ensure the highest level of safety and security for the community.”

Victoria Police has been trialling these roving teams throughout the past few months.

“There was an incident on the morning of AFL Grand Final Day that our patrol teams were able to respond to within four minutes,” Deputy Commissioner Crisp said.

“This is an extremely fast response from a specialist team such as CIRT and is the type of response we want to deliver on an ongoing basis.

“This means that from time to time the public may see more police wearing tactical clothing and operational kit on patrol at various locations.”

Deputy Commissioner Crisp stressed that this new model is not in response to any known threat; rather it is a response model that puts Victoria Police in the best possible situation to keep the community safe.

The new roving CIRT teams will start patrolling the Melbourne CBD from tomorrow and will operate 365 days a year.
 

See, multiculturalism at its best, creating new jobs.
 
So that does the city but what about St Kill-dar beach ?

It's rough as guts there at the moment.
