You can almost feel the rage from HWT tower

It looks like I left before Victoria Police arrested a disabled person, assaulted a 79yr old man (A guy I know called Bob) without any reason, and then punched and pepper sprayed the person that prevented the cops from punching Bob.
You can see the cop rush at Bob at 1:10 in the video from 5m away and push him on to the road.
That level of violence against a 79yr old could be life ending.

Those in the know have said there was only $3.6m allocated to two small Strategic Cycling Corridors projects for the entire of Victoria.
We should expect an announcement about these projects next week.
Bicycle infrastructure is cheap, but it's not that cheap. This is fucked!
In other news, they allocated $5m to inspect and enforce petrol prices at petrol stations.
Today was the Victorian government budget day. I was really hoping there would be something for active transport, but I did assume if there was then it would have been part of an announcement last week.
It looks like there is nothing for active transport at all in this budget.
What a surprise, you increase taxes on a drug to the point it becomes barely affordable, and suddenly a huge black market forms.
Happened with tobacco, it's now happening with alcohol; bootleggers will always win out.
I wouldn't be surprised if medical cannabis dispensaries are targeted next. Although they're already pretty secure:
