Great work done by the lovely volunteers who came out last week to plant at Tayport Common saltmarsh. Over the two days we planted out 1200 plants to help stop erosion, build saltmarsh habitat and store carbon.
Is it bad that we'd like some rain now to help the plants establish?

“I don’t want there to be any concerns about this, and in the interests of full transparency, I’ve contacted the #AEC and the Department of Parliamentary Services and given them the details that I gave to #TheAge yesterday about my #relationship with those #volunteers and with Mr #JiJianmin I’ve said, look, if you’ve got any concerns, please investigate.”

“[They’re] people who attended a dinner where a community leader [JiJianmin] said that he supported me and he supported my #values, and thought that I’ve been very #supportive of the community in recent years, and for that reason he thought people should #Support me now. I’m grateful for the support the Chinese Australians have given me in the last three years.”
I’ve got the nod from the #CCP.

“A dispute over signage between a #Labor staffer volunteering for #Wills MP #PeterKhalil and a #MuslimVotesMatter volunteer at a pre-polling station in #Brunswick led to police being called and the activist being questioned by officers.
The dispute, along with an argument between minor party #volunteers, prompted the #Australian Electoral Commission on Saturday to note “#physical and #verbal #violence” at the pre-poll booth and to warn #candidates and their teams to treat each other with #respect.”
