Some observations:
You have to admire the absolute commitment of being in stilts.
Someone has BYO'd chalk and is having themselves a GRAND time in the city on just about every blank surface they can find.
CC: The Greens.
This is going to confuse some people.
Says 'Kill the bill. Sack Dan'.
Yes, that's a bunch of balloons on a fishing rod acting like a kite. Points for creativity.
Kids & babies everywhere. Everywhere. Starting them young.
Nice to see wheelchairs in the crowd again and how helpful and considerate the crowd are of those attendees.
Flags. So many flags. Melbourne's diverse multiculturalism literally on display.
This is amazing. A small group of ppl, not part of the organisers, are going around offering water & snacks to the crowd because they 'know many attendees can't work/ are struggling & that getting into the city is expensive enough, so is buying water'. Beautiful community spirit.
Say what you will about the protests, they're getting more people in the CBD than the Lord Mayor ever could. There was many a small convenience/takeaway store just about cleaned out of stock today 😂

This story went off today and it was worth going and having a look at the Tax Act and SRO ruling referred to in here. No idea how Allan could possibly be confident in saying those WFH won't get caught up with land tax issues, or play off the issue - there genuinely is no clarity.
To recap: key issue is whether you could lose part of your 'home' aka PPR land tax exemption due to “substantial business activity" in the residence by WFH. The Act & SRO ruling list factors for this test. It's not new but it’s relevant if WFH is looked at with minimum set days.
The test factors for "substantial business activity" include:
– Employees/contractors at the property
– Part of the land allocated solely for business
– Floor space used for business
– The income generated from that property
– Proportion of your total income from those activities

The second this was announced, you just knew it was a captains call that hadn't been discussed or refined with anyone. Making it standard in govt, sure. In private sector that's predominantly covered by federal laws? Get the feeling she'll regret being so arrogant out the gate.
They've admitted they have no idea what legal mechanism they could even consider using to create this 'right' and admit their own consultation process will NOT allow a discussion or debate about whether or not the laws SHOULD happen - just who should be sucked into them and how. Image
Leaving aside momentarily the reality that no state law ever trumps federal, so any debate on 'how' is borderline irrelevant the second it clashes with Fair Work (don't even get me started on EBAs) - who the hell ENFORCES it in Victoria then? We don't have a mechanism for it.

We're back for day 2 of Deeming v Pesutto🧵🍿 link to watch below, starts at 10.15am. This morning we're expected to hear some of the secret meeting recording & hear directly from Moira

youtube.com/live/9Zlu0FDp5…
Recording first up! Honestly excellent audio quality & they have the transcript on the screen too. Very helpful.
Brief moment of initial stress on my part thinking that they were going to play this entire recording for 70 mins, but we're getting snippets & comments from lawyers.
First wtf. Southwick secretly recorded this, obviously had it & apparently put on his own affadavit that Deeming argued in the meeting about whether the MIB were NN (we're shortening today) but she just didn't at the start. If that's not true based on this that's.. insane.

The big day is finally here! The public circus showdown between Deeming and Pesutto kicks off this morning at 10.15am & yes the *entire* thing will be livestreamed throughout. Rolling comments will be added here throughout the day 🧵
Link to watch live:

Only two comments to start.
One, the minimal initial media coverage on the weekend of private texts & discussions already disclosed between MPs, journos & backers demonstrated that the second hand embarassment feelings from this case are going to be strong 😵‍💫🥲

They're back 🐦👀 as leaderships are questioned and elections start to heat up, there's plenty of chatter happening from the birdies.
First up, rumours are flying about Nick Reece's "unity ticket" with his deputy not looking very.. unified in public. His deputy choice mentioned only once via statement (to resoundingly bad feedback), Roshena has not been seen or heard publicly linked to Reece since the 'launch'.
Yet birdies say he has been dragging her around town to meetings & events, with Reece happily spruiking their 'unity' - yet she's mysteriously missing from every single photo, policy announcement & media piece. Hm. Even stranger, Roshena has no media presence as deputy, at all.

One of the most fundamentally cooked things that has happened in politics, possibly ever. A thread.
First up, let's get the birdies out of the way. You have to wonder if there's any truth to rumours Reece struggled to find a deputy at all since so few options were ever whispered about & why there's a rare endorsed Lib ticket that Roshena is obviously nowhere near.
Some say this is a clever 'unity ticket' of left/right but I can't agree. If they were more moderate maybe but they are both active card-carrying members of parties which put them totally opposed on a number of major issues, past & present. How they'll deal with that is a mystery
