Imagine downloading 50,000 films a second. Victoria's first major subsea fibre optic cable will be able to do that - unlocking huge data transfer capacity for our state. This means a jobs pipeline running under the sea. Continuing to support hundreds of thousands of workers.

Resolve poll on Net Zero. 54% support it. But it’s a politically partisan issue and of course, there is predictably an age skew. Approximately 60% Gen Z and young Millennials support it. 54% of older Millennials and Gen X support it. Predictably, the majority against it

The Vic Liberals were so triggered by the Hun reportage, we spent hours in committee on this issue when we were debating Treaty. One of the most embarrassing displays by the Vic Libs I’ve witnessed. And embarrassing displays are a daily occurrence with them. 👎

It’s simple steps like this that’ll make a huge difference for girls and women in the long run. The Allan Labor Government is delivering for our healthcare system and, more importantly, for women and girls across the state. @maryannethomas 3/3 #equality #womenshealth

It was very well received by the audience, with everyone enjoying their soup and many audience members wanting seconds! This festival is a great way of bringing the community together, and I'm looking forward to coming back next year. 2/2 #melbourne #food #maroondahfestival

It's always a pleasure to attend Maroondah Festival every year, and this year was no different. I had a blast doing a cooking demonstration with Alistair McInness from the Melbourne Highland Games & Celtic Festival and Matt Gregg, making a Scottish cock-a-leekie soup. 1/2

Bloody women. If they’d only stick to the kitchen roster for the tea, scones, and washing-up… https://t.co/W5cCE9crEo

The party’s review into its historic drubbing found Peter Dutton and his team spent years acting like a cautious government-in-exile and presented a dire policy agenda.

Online hate speech can cause real harm—and lead to cruelty and violence in real life. Each of us can help support people targeted by hate speech and raise awareness of how it causes harm. See how you too can say #NoToHate. https://t.co/qSOWeutJl2

Parliament requires ppl in the chamber to vote one way or another. 🤔
@TerpsMLC “Listening to the people” Labor’s idea of that is doing back-room deals with the Greens and fringe MPs. Victorians are voting with their feet and leaving. Can’t say anyone’s surprised.

The Armistice signed by the Allies and Germany gave birth to this day of remembrance. The Victorian State Remembrance Service will be held at the Shrine of Remembrance at 10.30 am on 11 November. The Shrine will livestream its service from 10:30 am. @NatalieSuleyman 2/2

Today at 11 am, we pause to remember those who have served and lost their lives in all wars and conflicts. Each year, Remembrance Day marks the moment the guns fell silent at the end of World War One. 1/2 #veterans #remembranceday #labor #victoria
