The council says it wants to build another carpark in the CBD.

It is cruel to offer staff new offices but make them pay for parking which the council will profit from. It seems a selfish form of design.

Bendigo wants to be known as a livable city but all this will do is make the prices in the inner city more expensive too so hence more rates for the council. Cruel Muriel.

What good luck for all the people who must deal with the second and third tiers of government.

The City of Greater Bendigo Council's monumental GovHub is not yet erected.

If it were, these days, someone only need sneeze in one office and the entire warehouse would be shut down, quarantined, decontaminated and 1000 public servants sent home to put their feet up and enjoy a fortnight's mandatory detention.

Just when you thought government processes couldn't get any slower!

Security wise, surely it is unwise to put all your department eggs in one basket building.

Under no circumstances, should council consider this GovHub plan.

You're like kids in a lolly shop; gotta have!

Isn't it time council considered highly indebted rate payers? Let Bendigo point the way and look after what we have, not go on a shopping spree - particularly now.

Paying rent for our own property? You've got rocks in your heads!

Get your heads out of the clouds.

I remain cold and appalled at the inexplicable and unconscionable decision by Premier Andrews to continue in 2020 to support the hideous and wanton cruelty towards ducks and other birdife in Victoria.

The deep concern I and so many other people (in Victoria, across Australia and internationally) have for the welfare of native animals in Victoria remains steadfast.

So too, our incredulity of the state-sanctioning for reckless and unnecessary cruelty.

Duck hunting is an anathema to the majority of our community who value life and animal welfare far and about out-dated and brutish blood sports.

This barbarity is incongruous with modern and progressive Australian values.

I and a vast number of others share a similar resolute intent to see an immediate and permanent end to this horrid cruelty.
