Since Labor would get my vote on preferences anyway I think I'm going to put them above the Greens on Saturday as a "figure out your sexual harassment problems" protest vote.

I know Labor has its own issues on this front, but feel a non-vote for Greens is more powerful than a vote-on-2nd-pref for Labor.

If you're going to do that you may as well just vote VicSoc for actually having policies to renationalise the good stuff IMHO.

quote:

"A restaurant owner in Frankston who stood alongside Matthew Guy and Liberal candidate Michael Lamb to discuss her struggles with rising energy costs on Monday is a convicted cannabis cultivator whom police sought to deny a liquor licence.

Parliamentary hopeful Mr Lamb is also senior sergeant at Frankston police station and by his own account is in charge of every drug investigation in the area, in a further embarrassment to the opposition."

The Coalition, which has campaigned relentlessly on being tougher on crime than Labor, stumbled on the campaign trail on Monday when it emerged shortly after Mr Guy's campaign bus stopped at the Frankston venue that the owner has a criminal record.

I should've clarified I meant my district vote. For the upper house I'm voting VicSoc and Greens second, since the vote is actually substantial (Labor will win in my district) and I prefer their policies over Labor.

I was saying I'm turning my Labor-by-preference vote to a Labor vote because I'm mad at the Greens. It's pointless and childish and I'll probably end up voting Greens anyway.

This state election is certainly the closest I’ve ever come to voting labor above Greens. I’ll probably still end up going VicSoc Greens Labor but there’s still a bit of doubt in my mind. This has been a really effective and progressive Labor government all up.

If I was in a toss-up Labor/Greens seat, I would probably have voted VicSoc/Labor because I do genuinely like what Dandrews has done.
But I live in Malvern, so I'm voting VicSoc/Greens/Labor and waiting to see what the name of the Liberal member is.

A strong progressive green movement in key labor seats probably means they have to run progressive to stay in the race.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

A push by the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party to wind back Sydney's lockout laws would put "violence over vibrancy", a leading alcohol policy group has warned MPs.

The NSW/ACT Alcohol Policy Alliance, made up of 48 groups including frontline emergency services, law enforcement and health experts, has warned that a bill before NSW Parliament would be a "curse" on Sydney if it passed.
Shooters, Fishers and Farmers MP Robert Borsak has introduced a bill to the upper house to scrap the 1.30am lockout laws that apply to clubs and pubs across Sydney's CBD and Kings Cross.

But in a letter sent to Premier Gladys Berejiklian, the alliance says it is "appalled" by the introduction of the bill and fears a return to an "unsafe and violent environment" in Sydney.

The lockout laws, which were put in place to curb alcohol-fuelled violence in Kings Cross and the Sydney CBD, have had a "significant positive impact on the people of NSW", the letter says.
The letter says there has been "dramatic reductions in non-domestic violence ... reduced rates of alcohol-related serious injury presentation and a 60 per cent reduction in serious facial injuries requiring surgery at St Vincent's Hospital".
"In the five years before the measures were introduced, alcohol-related assaults were on a slight, but inconsistent, downward trajectory," says the letter, which is signed by the NSW Police Association, the NSW Australian Medical Association and St Vincent's Hospital.

"Since February 2014, the reductions in alcohol-related violence have been dramatic."

One of the signatories of the letter, chief executive of the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education Michael Thorn said he questioned why Mr Borsak and others "are so willing to talk down Sydney's night-time economy".
"Mr Borsak's claim that Kings Cross and CBD businesses have been decimated is pure fiction," Mr Thorn said.
"While Sydney's nightlife profile has diversified, the City of Sydney's own data shows it has the strongest and most concentrated night-time economy in Australia with year-on-year growth since 2011.


"The number of establishments reached an all-time high in 2016 and again in 2017 and the city has never had more jobs or greater choice of drinks, entertainment and food options."

...

NSW Police Association president Tony King said it could not be disputed that the "last entry" and "last drinks" measures had been "life-saving".
"This is a galling bill and any repeal of the 2014 measures would be a curse on Sydney again, shifting the balance back to 'violence over vibrancy' and a return to the devastating toll that we know harms all of us," Mr King said.
The lockout laws were implemented across the Sydney CBD area by former premier Barry O'Farrell in February 2014, following public outcry over a spate of violent alcohol-fuelled incidents, including the one-punch deaths of Thomas Kelly and Daniel Christie.
Opposition Leader Michael Daley has said that Labor would not be relaxing the laws

The shoplifters candidate was less the shoplifters more they sounded like an edgy cloud trap rapper while bragging about it. The disavowed came after not they did it but they wouldn't even attempt God I said some dumb poo poo didn't I and rolled with it. Albo has an entire punk career that he rolls with and we want him to be PM compared to a Hillsong pastor and a check notes.

Apparently there's a video from last year of him talking about wanting to be served coconuts by "topless chicks", so he's maybe not as terrible as he was, but I don't buy this whole "oh no he's just a victim of the patriarchy and toxic masculinity and it's all in the past" thing.

I think the problem is they disavowed Joanna so quickly wanting to do damage control that when the Angus thing happened they didn't want to disendorse another candidate, especially not so soon after, even though what he did is arguably worse.
