    Secrecy, silence, and 1400 displaced kids: The government must explain decision (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Jayson Lamb is one of the most upbeat, positive people you will meet. He has created a highly respected business that has taught thousands of south-west children to swim over decades. But when everything he has worked so hard to achieve is thrown into disarray, his customary smile and bounce are gone. He "can't see a light at the end of the tunnel" after the state education department decided it would close the pool he leases at Warrnambool College and demolish it. The demolition decision was ma

    Victoria the Garden State? It's more like the Secret State or Hidden State (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Victoria has long been known as the Garden State and our number plates have carried that slogan. They've also carried slogans such as On The Move, The Place To Be and the Education State in my lifetime. Two stories got me thinking about what this state's new slogan could be. The first story from Ben Silvester revealed the Liberal Party would not commit to delivering the original scope of the upgrade Warrnambool Base Hospital needs because the opposition does not know what is and isn't being deve

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A new report proves the state government knowingly underfunded regional roads while Melbourne megaprojects blew out by billions. It's enough to drive you mad. Regional Victorians have been paying the price for crumbling roads for years. Vehicle maintenance bills for freight companies have soared by 300 per cent and everyday drivers have been forking out about $200 each time they pop a tyre - more if they damage a rim - after hitting a gaping pothole. Warrnambool's Campbell Pedler blew three tyre

    How community fury and election panic forced a high-stakes train U-turn (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For more than 18 months, south-west Victorians were handed a steady stream of bureaucratic lines and excuses - short platforms and strict safety regulations - to justify why they were crammed into three-carriage VLocity trains on the Warrnambool line. Yet, with a state election looming and new Premier Ben Carroll desperate to change the government's perception, those impossible safety hurdles have seemingly dissolved overnight. Since modern VLocity trains were introduced on the Warrnambool line

    Moyne Shire needs state funding. Why did it miss a golden opportunity to get it? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Representatives from Warrnambool, Corangamite, Glenelg and Southern Grampians councils last week went to State Parliament to demand a better deal for the region. They met politicians from both sides, including ministers, as they outlined key areas needing attention. It is the type of advocacy the region has been crying out for - a united front, a collective loud voice and presence. But one council was notably missing - Moyne Shire. This is a council that in 2022 was upset when then Liberal Party
