Shooting pet cats if they’re more than 200 metres from a dwelling, unrestrained baiting of wildlife, restoring the use of lead shot to hunt native ducks, increasing bag limits, fewer restraints on shooting kangaroos, open season on galahs and corellas; these are just some of the measures the Victorian chapter of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA Vic) would like to see implemented by the State government.

Victorian Greens Justice spokesperson Sue Pennicuik MLC said that yesterday’s riot by prisoners in the privately-operated Fulham Prison shows an independent inspector for Victorian prisons would better protect staff safety.

"The Greens do not support private prisons, but where they exist they must be overseen by an independent and transparent inspector of prisons to investigate complaints and ensure standards are maintained," Ms Pennicuik said.

It's time people stopped giving credit to Sarah Laurie and the fancy sounding Waubra Foundation, who are just another arm of the anti-wind campaign.

When she put her evidence before a court of law in South Australia, it was rejected in its entirety. Another expert, using her own data, managed to disprove her claims about wind farms affecting people.

Greens MLC Colleen Hartland has welcomed the announcement of the site for a P-12 school for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the West.

"It's a welcome announcement and congratulations must go to the parents and community who have fought so hard just to have what other regions of Melbourne already have," said Colleen Hartland, Greens MP for the Western Suburbs.
