In case you missed it earlier - Ellen Sandell was unanimously elected as the Victorian Greens new leader at a party room meeting this morning. Prahran MP Sam Hibbins and upper house MP Sarah Mansfield were appointed as co-deputy leaders. More via the @GuardianAus blog.
The Victorian Greens have labelled the government’s decision not to open a second safe injecting room in the CBD as a “spineless captain’s call” that will “cost lives”. They accuse Labor of back-tracking on progressive reforms introduced under Daniel Andrews.

@benitakolovos Now, now, just because you don’t like the flavor is no excuse to do that.
@benitakolovos That is a very sad sight. Luckily, the damage was contained.
@benitakolovos I did the exact same thing with my coffee this morning. It was really sad.
@benitakolovos Oh, no - very annoying. I did this a few years ago (all 6 bottles broke), and I only just recently *discovered and excavated* the last tiny shard from under the stove. 🙃 I hope things improve for your weekend. Cheers 🍻
@benitakolovos Wouldn’t of broke if it was Carlton Draught
@benitakolovos Stone & Wood = good Stone, wood & tiles less so.
@benitakolovos Do not mourn for those beers who have left us, verily rejoice in the safety of those who survived this tragedy, and seek thee out others, for such passing is but a stitch in the fabric of life. So sayeth our Lord Carlton and United Brewing.
I vote based on which MP has a Happy Easter message in Neos Kosmos
Would love to see a student demonstration in behalf of peace. Not pro-Israel, not pro-Palestinian. Just good ol’ peace. Any of those?
General reminder - politicians are not your friends and should be held to account and criticised when they fall short. Doing so is not an endorsement of anyone else or another party. You should want your politicians to learn, to be better and work towards solutions.
