Once again, Victoria's LGBTQI+ community and entertainers have come under attack by hate groups - this time out in my neck of the woods, the City of Monash.
And it's more than just placards and yelling - some councillors have received death threats.
Just imagine for a moment making a death threat over a story time for kids.
Because that's all it is.
So to all those people who choose to waste their energy on making people in our state feel unsafe, hear this:
This Americanisation of our politics has no place here.
And your hateful views don't either.
Not now. Not ever.

Construction on the Metro Tunnel is a full year ahead of schedule.
Tunnelling is complete, and stations are coming together.
And now the most important part - the tracks - are being installed.
Here's how:
First things first: getting the rail onsite.
The first load of rail arrived in early 2022 by train.
All up, almost 40 kilometres of Australian-made steel is being used.
The rail was delivered to each of the tunnel entrances - the western tunnel entrance near South Kensington station, and the eastern tunnel entrance near South Yarra station.
It's not fair that big companies control our power supply and bills skyrocket.
So we're going to set up a government-owned power company to drive down bills.
It'll put the power back in the hands of Victorians.
And it'll be 100% renewable.
Here's the plan:
Right now when you flick on the switch, chances are the electricity is coming from a big private company.
They generate using polluting coal power plants, and power prices mean they make massive profits.
But it doesn't have to be like that.
A re-elected Labor Government will build a government-owned energy company, and it'll be 100% renewable.
We'll build new renewable projects like wind and solar, creating thousands of jobs - and the Government will own a controlling interest in each project.
