💡 Did you know?
In ABS statistics, an Australian citizen, even someone born here, can be counted as a migrant arrival when they return home after living or working overseas.
It is a useful reminder that statistics are often more complicated than the headline suggests.
Before accepting the facts and figures shared on social media, take a moment to ask what is being counted, how it is defined and what might be missing.
Numbers can inform a debate, but they can also be selectively used to shape a particular view.
Irrespective, another person adds to housing and infrastructure shortages…
We're all going to make a better 🙏 🌎🇦🇺 As this debate is about Hatred towards others. All systems should work together to ensure more Efficient processes for Everyone. Negative gearing is a JOKE. ZOMBIES creates 💔🥶
Congratulations to Susan Barbara Springfield of Mulgrave on receiving a King’s Birthday Honour for her service to the communities of Mulgrave and Springvale North.
A well-deserved recognition of her dedication to our local community.
Congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Anthony Maloney (Retd) of Wheelers Hill on receiving a King’s Birthday Honour for his service to rugby union and the community.
A wonderful recognition of many years of commitment and contribution.
As Monash continues to grow, so too does the number of people walking and cycling on our roads.
Pedestrians and cyclists account for 18% of all deaths and serious injuries on Monash roads, and almost two thirds of those injured are men.
These are not just statistics. They are people going to work, school, the shops or simply moving around their neighbourhood.
We need to keep investing in safer crossings, better paths, improved lighting and road designs that protect everyone, especially our most vulnerable road users.
A growing city must also be a safer city. 🚶♀️🚴♂️
Yes to this!!! 👏
Cyclists should be more mindful of cars and not act like they own the roads when they pay nothing towards them. They should be made to get insurance for when they damage cars too.
Unfortunately very few as 1-2 a week use the very expensive bike path in Oakleigh. It doesn't connect to anything it just stops at Dandenong Rd. People can ride down the rail line bike path to Hughesdale and connect up to the bike path that takes you to the city. Such a waste of money for a minority.
Great photo
Bob Rogers mandate all new cars to come with FSD is the ultimate solution.
You know what would help boost those numbers Mayor Stuart James, that would be connecting the disjoint bits of bike network to destinations riders need to visit. Some of that is costly but many highway service lanes are wide enough for contra-flow bike lanes to help riders avoid the centre lanes and the need to cross over and back when originally and destination are on the side against the traffic flow. (Great example is the west side of Stud Road between Burwood Hwy and Mountain Hwy.) The solution would work east side of Gallagher Road opposite the Mulgrave Country Club or along Dandenong Road on either side.
And yet Dimopoulos and his merry men of no ideas want to add a number of buildings with more than 6 storeys around the station. How are Oakleigh roads supposed to cope with so many extra people??? Hope Labor loses in November
I can see why, I found drivers ignore pedestrians crossing at pedestrian crossings especially in Murrumbeena
I hope that's a wombat crossing? But the street itself needs a massive motorists calming with some large planter boxes on the road.
... too many drivers without a licence
Yes, we desperately need better cycling infrastructure. All over Australia. Safe cycling lanes and paths have so many benefits and encourages many to get on a. bike. Fully supportive of this movement. I'd encourage everyone to support Bicycle Network's 5% for safer streets campaign via the link below. It only takes a few mins to write to your local reps to let them know you want better cycling infrastructure. Believe it or not, this sort of thing makes a difference. bicyclenetwork.com.au/our-advocacy/strategic-cycling-corridor/
🇦🇺 A very special evening welcoming our newest Australian citizens.
It was an honour to preside over last night’s citizenship ceremony and share this important milestone with individuals and families choosing to make Australia their home. 🇦🇺
Don’t get caught out; Glen Waverley Library is closed as we prepare to begin construction on the new Library.
Two temporary library sites will open in July.
More info in comments.
Hope the new one is set out the same, harder to find books at Wheelers Hill I think. Librarians Pick, Speedy reads Quick Picks and separate stands make it very easy.
Total waste of money.
I can see our rates going up
When is the re-opening planned?
Well hopefully they won’t charge late fees then.
Very good, thank you for the hard work, appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing 👍
🐉 A wonderful afternoon celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival and the 10th anniversary of the Chinese Association of Monash.
Congratulations to the committee, volunteers and members on this fantastic milestone, and thank you for all you contribute to our community.
It was also an extra special day for our family, with Lachlan celebrating his 5th birthday. 🎂
Happy birthday Lachlan!
Happy Birthday 🎉🎊🎁 to young Lachlan. Thank YOU for coming to join us too.
🕷️ With great power comes great responsibility… and apparently, an ice-cold dunk!
I joined the Oakleigh District Football Netball Club for its FightMND fundraiser, suited up as Spider-Man and took the plunge into the ice.
It was freezing, but all for an incredibly important cause, raising funds and awareness to help find effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for motor neurone disease.
A huge congratulations to everyone at Oakleigh District for getting behind FightMND and making the day such a success.
Every dollar helps us take another step towards a world without MND. 💙
