  5. on further examination of Vic govt and road maintenance. This excellent report pbo.vic.gov.au/response/7431 shows that despite spending $20b on the stupid north east link (which mostly just gets eastern suburbs people to the airport) Vic govt has radically cut road maintenance in the last five years. Voters will be ruthless in November #auspol #victoria

  15. Given the rise in support for One Nation, here's a really interesting piece of forgotten Australian history.

    From the 1930s to 1986, there was an Aussie Rules football competition called the Young Chinese League.

    Over around 50 years, the YCL was based out of Albert Park in Melbourne, but held games all over Melbourne and Victoria.

    The history is the focus of a new film that will debut at the Melbourne International Film Festival, titled Carn the Chinese!

  19. why are Victorian roads failing? Perhaps because we don’t charge large SUVs enough to cover the road damage they cause. It is at the fourth power of vehicle weight. So a vehicle double the weight causes 16 times the damage. The system is designed to fail [update: Victoria does not use a vehicle-weight sliding scale for standard passenger cars and SUVs. Standard light passenger vehicles (under 4.5 tonnes) pay a flat registration fee based on geographic risk zones rather than weight. Other states do charge on weight ] [further update: EVs are heavy, but typically no more than 40% of heavy SUVs] [after more investigation: road maintenance in Victoria is underfunded by about 50% so what I'm talking about here is a second order effect] eng.unimelb.edu.au/ingenium/dr #auspol #victoria
