Boonta Vista has potential to be a pretty swell podcast but they need to do a bit more writing in advance so as to be able to discuss bad things in a little more detail than

"...so yeah. Pretty great" *crickets*
"....yeah, not the best" *crickets*
"Wow" *crickets*

Kate Langbroek shares photos of bruising after 'terrifying attack', demands answers over St Kilda 'degradation'

Radio host Kate Langbroek has demanded answers over the "degradation" of St Kilda after her family was subjected to what she described as a "crazed, violent, terrifying attack".

On air yesterday, Langbroek told listeners the attack, which left the 52-year-old bruised, began when her babysitter left her family's home about midnight on Friday.

She said she was approached by a man who began swearing at her and trying to get into her car, prompting her to run back to the house.

With the babysitter back inside, Langbroek and her husband Peter went outside to see what was happening, and saw the man on the opposite side of the road.

"He starts yelling, he turns around and sees us," Langbroek said.

"I look at Peter, I go: 'Shut the gate', but he's as quick as insanity. He's suddenly right there upon us and he's yelling full on.

"I try to shut the gate [but] he pushes the gate open on me.

"Peter yells out: 'Shut the gate' [but] I can't shut the gate. He's outside the gate trying to pull it shut — he's on the outside with the madman."

Langbroek then realised the front door of their house, where her children and their babysitter were inside, was still open.

"I run inside, slam the door, and praise be I put my leg up against the door to brace it," she said.

"Next minute — thump — he tries to kick the door in. Madman's at the front door."

Langbroek and her husband were eventually able to phone police, bringing a number of officers to the scene, and a man was arrested over the incident.

'Decent citizens' are vulnerable

The radio star yesterday praised police officers but took to Twitter, asking Victorian Housing Minister Martin Foley to contact her to talk about "his plans to stop the degradation of St Kilda hill".

St Kilda is home to the notorious Gatwick Hotel, a rooming house which until its closure last year provided shelter to some of the city's poorest people since the 1950s, but caused concerns about violence and drug use.

Following its closure there were fears some of its residents would have nowhere to go.

Discussing the Gatwick Hotel's closure last year, Mr Foley said it would bring change to St Kilda.

"The Gatwick has long passed its time as a place that housed vulnerable people in safe and appropriate circumstances," he said in March 2017.

"It is not a place that is fit for those residents.

"With much of Fitzroy St and surrounds being held back by the Gatwick, we can now look forward to working with traders, council and the community to turn a corner in the area's future."

In a follow-up tweet today that included a photo of her bruised arm, Ms Langbroek thanked Mr Foley for calling her, but demanded he take action in the suburb, noting St Kilda's vulnerable people were in fact its "decent citizens".

"This is the bruise I sustained trying to keep that 'vulnerable' resident from kicking our front door in on Friday night. Children inside," she wrote.

"The real vulnerable are the decent citizens of St Kilda. We await your action."

In a statement today, Mr Foley said what happened to Langbroek was "completely unacceptable".

"Our thoughts go out to her and her family," he said.

"I spoke to Ms Langbroek yesterday, and I'm pleased that an arrest has been made and this matter is now before the courts."

it's okay to acknowledge that israel is a racist ethnostate and that its ideology percolates quite strongly through the diaspora

like there's nothing inherent to that position about jews being like racially inclined towards racism or whatever it is you're saying

What? The Greens vote with the Libs and Labor all the time. I mean if you want to argue they side with Labor more then fair enough that's probably true, but the idea that the Greens "never" back the Libs is some hardcore revisionism (if that's what you're saying and I'm not misinterpreting, in which case apologies in advance).

He's talking about formal coalitions for minority government.

For year 1 of the agreement yes, by 2014 shift workers of normal grade 6 or above were making more than that. Electrician shift workers (grade 6L) making in excess of $150,000. The day rate workers were obviously below the average.

Is it just me that sees the wages being paid as being incredibly above market rates? Particularly considering it’s a decent way from Sydney. If 20% got knocked off the top end money, They’d still be well paid workers.
