Answer in 10 seconds or lose your fleet: The e-bike row dividing Yarra
https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/answer-in-10-seconds-or-lose-your-fleet-the-e-bike-row-dividing-yarra-20260730-p60k3i.htmlPreviously: https://theblower.au/@BinChicken/116920668524405133
Streets Alive Yarra president, Jeremy Lawrence, campaigns for safety, usability, and efficiency of streets and transport. I applaud his work and usually agree with him. In this case I think his observations are good but his conclusions miss the mark.
The conditions the council stated are reasonable requirements. Eg: removing dumped hire-bikes in 60 minutes, and any "dangerously placed" in 30 minutes.
Jeremy Lawrence said: "In my view, it was so onerous [that] no share bike operator, even if it was Lime … could make it work in a financially viable manner."
He's correct. But, it doesn't mean we should give a free pass to hire-bike companies, cut safety standards, or give public land to a company to use as parking-space. I think it's time we accept that the hire-bike business-model does not work.

This guy's the most Liberal party looking Labor member I think I've ever seen
'Carroll is very much a man of the right—a member of the conservative SDA union and a protégé of Labor right...He’s also a staunch supporter of Israel, although on that score he’s no different to his two nominally left predecessors, Dan Andrews and Allan'

If you want affordable housing and food and jobs for people, a reasonable choice is the Socialist Party. However, I will be voting for The Animal Justice Party. You'll vote for them if you like animals. Actually like animals. Or humans. And want them all to live. They don't exclude any of the Socialists ideas.
Please read all the manifestos.

Leaked #LiberalParty spreadsheet shows #dead & ex-members #registered as #preselectors in key seat.
The error raises concerns about the party’s #governance & #preselection processes ahead of the #November state #election.

We have a new premier in Victoria, Ben Carroll. A cyclist! maybe a MAMIL. Gabrielle Williams, the (up until now) Active Transport Minister, becomes deputy premier. Supposedly the deputy gets their pick of ministries, and I'd expect her to shift, given her lack of enthusiasm for her current job. Who do you think would do a better job as AT minister? #SpringSt #vicpol

This morning, Jacinta Allan stepped aside as Premier of Victoria, and Ben Carroll was sworn-in promptly.
Ben Carroll becoming Premier is a regressive step for Victoria. He's a Shoppie who used to work with Stephen Conroy.
I'm tipping Victorians can expect Ben Carroll to offer:
- Talk about caring for the working-class, while actually suppressing wages and rights of workers, especially young and low income people.
- Centrist concessions to RWNJs.
- Erosion of the rights and protections for minorities such as LGBTQIA+ people.
- Pandering to conservative religious dogma on issues such as women's health, contraception, and abortion.
- Ignorant meddling with Tech, such as censorship, NBN/broadband, and whatever is happening with AI.
- Bizarre legislative carve-outs and gifts to big business.
- Further entrenchment of the gambling industry. -

Victorian #Liberal leader, #JessWilson, has issued a short statement confirming #MoiraDeeming has quit the #LiberalParty:

It doesn’t look like the Victorian Parliamentary Labor Causus was opposed to Allen’s legislative agenda as much as it was unconvinced Labor could win the coming election under her leadership. It might mean that Allen has burned through too much political trust with the electorates of Victoria and that the Party needs a new ‘face’ with an agenda that addresses Allen’s electoral shortcomings… Accountabilty, Transparency and action on corruption allegations.
IMO there is are lessons here for #AlboPM and #2028Elections

Is it me, or does #BenCarroll look like a Brighton Liberal?

The shame is her replacement won’t be any better or more credible. -

People: We’d like functional state government that works for us.
Vic ALP: Nope! Here’s a clusterfuck instead.

I feel a bit sorry for Jacinta Allan in some ways - she inherited a lot of debt and other issues from her predecessor. But someone has to take responsibility for the lost public funds due to the Big Build corruption, it's not good enough to just hope the issue goes away.
