Labor has sacked Luke Foley for molesting an ABC journalist at a function.

At least they did the right thing immediately.

Foley, you idiot!!

I don’t want to say “there goes the election”, but...

Hope all you Melb peeps are OK, after another incident in Bourke St, especially you, @teacake

I'm glad I was no where near the city today. Was at home when it happened. Still shocking, feel sorry for the victim's family.

Eek so many crazy people around. First he set a car on fire then started stabbing people.

Shot but wounded, I guess the cops didn't aim to kill.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

They shot in him in the chest.

Been reading the news. The 31 year old has died from wounds tonight. Also he considered an intelligence threat by authorities at some stage.

Oh wow ok, but I thought they had ruled out the T word?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I have not died.

I have not died.

That is a good thing.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Terrible so sad about the death. A very loved icon of Melbourne. To be mudered in the street like that, the street he spent decades in

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Icon?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Just read the paper coco

I did .. Oh that guy's been there like forever.

Now not so happy reading all that.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Yes it's very sad

The man who armed himself with a shopping trolley and went to the defence of the police has been identified as 46 year old Michael Rogers. He is a homeless man and a GoFundMe Page has been set up for his benefit by registered charity ‘The Melbourne Homeless Collective’.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Over $55,000 in donations so far.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

The offenders family came out to say that he has had ongoing mental health issues but refused help. Yet somehow they the authorities are trying to link this to terrorism.

OK Dutton's heading that charge

 

[Australis]

Terrorism-influenced.

In other news. we have a terrible LNP Govt in NSW, and now Labor has had to elect a new leader because the old one couldn't keep his hands to himself when pissed. He has 4 months to get it together with the public before the election. This useless POS LNP govt needs to be beaten.

Good. Finally some justice, as James Gargasoulas has been found guilty of six charges of murder for when he drove through the CBD last year.
