    Once committed republicans gushing over the visiting members of the Windsor family on the GC is really disgusting to watch. An Australian Head of State should be a resident of the country they represent, and these republicans should be telling that to Charles

    Since can’t explain why it is acceptable to uphold the Bible’s teaching on people and not the sabbath, the only option he really leaves me with is to take the view that he is a rampant homophobe and hypocrite.

    The mess of dragging the to the centre is entirely of Di Natale’s making, and it’s because he insists on using the word “progressive.” They are not the progressive party, they are the Greens. Stop using the word and the media will stop it’s interpretation

    The content of this speech is very good, but it’s like Di Natale is trying to jam as much content into 30 minutes as possible. He’s coming off as incoherent, which is the biggest problem right now, and they don’t seem to be able to get past it

    If the are starting and leading the conversation, then they should be turning their attention to proportional voting, so that they win the seats they deserve. Until they start doing this, these speeches will be just words

    Neville Wran never spoke about his opponents. He never gave them oxygen. Richard Di Natale should take a leaf out of his book

    Let's be really clear: is singlehandedly destroying generations of parliamentary convention. This could be the end of pairs, meaning MPs won't be able to be at the birth of their children, be with dying parents or take health leave

    Can we refer to people/companies who may not have paid their tax yet as tax cheats up front please? Just to be even-handed.

    *I am so proud of my Upper House colleagues for being liars, frauds and thrashing generations worth of parliamentary convention. Good work, kids. Good work

    Am so proud of my Upper House colleagues and the MPs who stood up for our CFA today and defeated the Andrews Govt plan to smash it up. The Liberal Nationals will always stand up for volunteers against this bully of a Premier.

    Heavens. You’d almost think Steve Smith had imprisoned 10yr old kids in some Pacific Island concentration camp. Or was a Bank CEO who’d cheated and robbed $100s of millions from his most vulnerable customers. Eh ?

    Today we introduced a bill in Parliament to bring our state one step closer to a treaty with Aboriginal Victorians. This bill has been years in the making. It hasn't been easy. If it passes, we'll be on our way towards a treaty with our First Peoples.
