If Victorian Labor was looking for cost of living relief, public transport is a major opportunity. Public transport fares in Melbourne are amongst the most expensive in the world, almost twice as expensive as cities like New York, Berlin and Tokyo. A new campaign is calling for for cent fares: https://www.instagram.com/keepfaresfair

Best picture rankings for the 2023 Oscars β€” Tony R. Milne

For the past six years, I have watched every movie nominated for best picture at the Oscars. My rankings for the 2023 Oscars.

On Friday our local State MP, Tim Read, popped in to the Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre to meet our team, hear about our education and community development work, and view our beautiful community garden!

Here we both are inspecting our compost!

We have a big community composting program that reduces organic waste going to landfill and we sell the compost back to the community for $5 a bag.

Chickens and art exhibitions: my first two weeks leading CNLC

I recently became the executive officer of the Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre Inc (CNLC), a Neighbourhood House operating since 1982. Over Christmas, I was lucky to get to New Zealand to visit family. The inevitable question – what’s your new job? You’d think it an easy question but explaining what a Neighbourhood House does isn’t simple.

β€œI believe passionately that problems like #poverty, #inequality, and #climatechange can be solved through our collective efforts, and the Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre has an important role to play in ensuring that all people, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to achieve their potential,” he said.

Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre appoints new executive officer

Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre (CNLC) has recently appointed Tony Milne as its new executive officer, after Linda Perugini left the position at the end of last year.

My work is currently with Powershop. Does anyone know if any power companies that 1) have better environmental credentials and 2) offer good discounts for charities?

This arrived today. So excited to start our #Frosthaven adventure! And yes, this box is almost as big as me and very heavy!
