Time for them to go, too destructive for the natural heritage of Australia. Gareth is better off sticking to his regional issues like mining...very silent on that? Gareth .. still got issues with 'bullying, betrayal and backstabbing' as one of your colleges described you?

So we can stop a mine going ahead for years because of a bird yet we are happy to slaughter these magnificent animals. Disgraceful MK and Libs, you are bleeding votes if you care

Brumbies aren't native to Australia.

Vic Premier grilled over doctor receiving parking ticket during stage four lockdowns | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews was caught off-guard when a reporter asked him why an ICU doctor from the Royal Melbourne Hospital received a parking ticket from the City of Melbourne during stage four lockdowns.\n\n'Firstly, firstly, let me follow up on that matter, ah, I'm sure, let me follow up on that matter,' he said.\n\n'I don't think someone who's in there literally saving lives at considerable risk to themselves should be the subject of a parking ticket.'\n\nMr Andrews emphasised parking inspectors did not work for the Victorian government and fewer people were generally parking, pointing to data that suggested traffic was down 40-50 per cent.\n\n'You can't build a perfect system when it comes to these rules,' he said.\n\n'There's no manual on how to shut down a very large part of the Victorian economy.'\n\nThe Premier also said he would look into why parking inspectors were currently considered essential workers. \n\n'I'm not certain all parking inspectors are working across the state - let me follow up on the status of their work,' he said.\n\nMr Andrews said he would personally 'follow up' on the infringement issued to the doctor on duty. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia DanielAndrewsMP Of course he'd be taken off guard. It's a stupid question, oh hang on, that's why he's off guard. Got it. DanielAndrewsMP How the fuck would the Premier know ?
