Is the council workers just fellow orders not or insensitive , just like spit in their faces.

Has anyone read the article before commenting? The offending vehicles were parked in designated clear ways and were deemed a safety issue. Only cautions reminding them not to park their were issued - I fully support these actions & appreciate the health care workers. ✌🏽

It is wrong to say it is ‘dangerous’ to park in the peak hour clearways, especially now when there’s hardly any traffic. They are there to help traffic flow, not for safety. Peak restrictions should be temporarily removed at this time.

What an absolute disgrace. Their sense of timing is awful and they need to hang their heads in shame.

Cities of Yarra, Stonnington and Port Phillip are notorious for parking fines. They'd fine their own mother.

Arsehole. How Despicable.

All hospital staff should be exempt

The hospital should provide adequate parking for its front line staff. Issuing parking infringements helps makes our roads more efficient and safer - especially for vulnerable road users.

YarraCouncil disgraceful..

Get rid of councils we will save heaps and our rates need to go down

Misha Coleman should resign.....

Councils are where the rot sets in. Had to pay my local council $79 yesterday, just to register my swimming pool. thieves.

They don't care

SCUM

Leftards, they're all the same.

Muslim essential workers in Australia observing Ramadan juggle treating coronavirus patients with fasting - ABC NewsEssential workers in Australia are facing unprecedented workloads during the coronavirus pandemic. But for Muslim health professionals who are fasting during the month of Ramadan, the challenges are even greater. My heart bleeds No one is forcing them to fast neither is anyone forcing them to work either. If they are not comfortable with any, they can do away with it. I don't hear you complaining about Christians fasting during Lenten season (period) as you are presently doing. Banks deferring dividends. Movie releases are deferred. So are footy matches. Our lives are on hold. Surely Allah understands and fasting can wait too? Does the regular praying during day occur when lives need to be saved stop until emergency is over?

Hands off Cup carnival timeslot: Lloyd Williams' warning to AFLThe AFL has set a target of October 31 to finish its revamped season. It's the very same day when the Cup carnival is due to kick off with Victoria Derby Day. Have you not noticed that most people don't actually care? Night Grand Final Seriously not an issue. Plenty of us can manage to keep one eye/ear on the racing & one on the footy, been doing it for years. It's not as if crowds are a problem, won't be attendances at either. Racing authorities just need to be careful about timing of major races on the day.
