I've been coming to this #Darebin park for over 25 years, first with the kids, now just the dog. When I saw this, I was in tears, now I'm just bloody angry. The scumbag(s) that did this should be strung up. I don't understand the mindset of anyone who could do this.
2 #trees in this park will die.

The Almond tree has only just started to blossom, and this guy shows up to eat 'em early; and in broad daylight. #melbourne #Darebin #possum

Hey City of #Darebin here's an idea, why not run the street sweepers AFTER the rubbish bins have been collected in an area and not BEFORE.
(and while I'm having a whinge...)
More unit developments are so tiny the garages are not used for cars. They're parked on the streets, making streets a daily one lane 'run the gauntlet'.

✨TONIGHT! ✨ Join us at the Hot Planet Matchmaking Launch in #Thornbury! 💘 Find out more about what we do and how you can volunteer with us. Neighbours United for Climate Action (NUCA) helps match people who want to volunteer with community climate action groups who need volunteers.

City of Melbourne's e-scooter ban under pressure from councils in city's inner-north
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-23/inner-melbourne-councils-e-scooter-hire/104260120

Sad to see Greens and ALP mayors of Darebin, Merri-bek, and Moonee Valley so out of touch with reality.

Now is not the time to cosy-up to e-scooter hire companies and greenwash their bad business practices. Local councils should stop giving money to Uber and stop trying to greenwash-away substandard cycling infrastructure in local councils.

Darebin Mayor Susanne Newton has ignored years of complaints from residents and medical care workers, and shows what a gullible fool she is with this glib statement:
"I've spoken to the providers and I'm pretty comfortable with the technology that they're using to reduce speeds, make sure people park in particular places."

On the other hand, Melbourne Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece took a realistic approach. He said the City of Melbourne's decision to ban the hire of e-scooters was in response to frustrated traders, residents and emergency department doctors and said he was "fed up with bad behaviour putting our community at risk".

Three inner-Melbourne councils are joining forces to make e-scooter hire available in Melbourne

The City of Melbourne is putting an end to e-scooter hire in the CBD, but the mayors of Darebin, Moonee Valley and Merri-bek are teaming up to create an inner-north zone for share hire vehicles.
