In this news tidbit I read on The Age website it appears the Alexandria branch of the ALP is looking to suspend the New South Wales Labor Premier Morris Iemma from the ALP.
It appears that Iemma wont tow the party line on the proposed $15b privatisation of the electricity industry in NSW.
This leaves Iemma’s future [...]

This is a personal story, it’s only me that’s giving an experience I’ve had on Yarra Trams but I’ve seen many have the same experience. My experience stems back two years over six episodes, but each similar and not original.
I live on a steep tram route, I don’t go on the trams often so I [...]

A report commissioned by the Victorian Government has recommended $18 billion dollars in upgrading the states roads and public transport infrastructure.
The report was released by Sir Rod Eddington, the former head of British Airways and most recently leading up the Labor business advisory council advising on their industrial relations and small business policy. In an [...]

The Tasmanian Greens are asked gaming operators to switch off their poker machines during Earth Hour this weekend. The idea behind Earth Hour which originally started in NSW and has now spread globally is to switch off your lights for one hour at 8pm this Saturday.
The Greens have gone one step further in linking Earth [...]

Sydney wants a desalination plant, the cost? $203 per year for each household according to Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART).
The cost that isn’t factored in is the cost to the environment. Desalination plants put out toxic chemicals as waste which is discharged into the ocean and take enormous energy supplies which will be sourced [...]

We see two accidents in two days in Victoria. Lynne Kosky still says it’s too expensive to put in boom gates at level crossings, or even lights, or even sound alerts to notify drivers. Instead she says rumble strips located more than a kilometre away from the level crossing is satisfactory.
Try telling that to the [...]

Lynne Kosky has admitted that the new Victorian ticketing system project “Myki” will run approximately three years late and have a budget blow-out of more than 300% compared to early estimates.
So what went wrong? I think the Victorian citizens deserve a proper investigation into this.
The Auditor-General Des Pearson has just appeared before the Public [...]

Tasmania’s Treasurer, Michael Aird, has agreed with NSW Premier Morris Iemma that political funding needs to be reviewed with the possibility of private political donations being disallowed. Aird stopped short of supporting Iemma’s total public funding in saying “there’s never been a great push in Tasmania for publicly-funded elections, but if there was going to [...]

Whilst it is inevitable that the Victorian State government will push through legislation to allow the recognition of same-sex relationships it seems that the council of Glen Eira disagrees.
Whilst the councils of Melbourne, Yarra, and Port Phillip have shown support for the idea of same-sex relationship entitlements, Glen Eira hasn’t.
I feel sorry for the residents [...]

Once again more people, a woman and a child (unconfirmed) have been injured in a level crossing accident in Victoria. This type of accident seems to occur quite frequently on Victoria’s train networks but we don’t seem to get action taken quick enough. The state of the Victorian rail network is terrible and it needs [...]
