Street Talks Melbourne

 My cousin had just earned a huge sum of money and was wondering whether to invest this money in a course or a home in Melbourne. He was not sure whether he should keep staying on rent and saving some money for his further studies or use it all for a property in Melbourne. So he went online and found this article that spoke about the advantages and disadvantages of renting or buying a home in Melbourne. It helped me create a good checklist in his head and he decided to keep staying on rent and used the money elsewhere. If you too need help in deciding between the two, I would suggest you go through this article as well to stay well-informed before you make a decision. https://www.betterremovalistsmelbourne.com.au/renting-vs-buying-a-home-in-melbourne-which-is-smarter/

 Wildlife rescuer Tracey Wilson lets out a familiar refrain whenever she receives a call about a lost or injured koala: "Here we go again".  It is not from a lack of love for the iconic marsupial — Ms Wilson spends countless hours helping injured koalas recuperate from all sorts of injuries and mishaps. She was one of the first people on hand when 21 koalas were found dead and 49 so horribly injured they had to be euthanased after a south-west Victorian timber plantation was cleared in 2020. Many of the koalas that survived that incident recovered at Ms Wilson's wildlife sanctuary in Koroit. Her frustration, she said, stemmed from the fact that the number of calls to help injured koalas was increasing.

 It was the hot topic of letters between former prime minister Scott Morrison and the Tasmanian government — and it appears there's still no guarantee Australia's poorest state won't pay half the cost of a massive new power project and reap a fraction of the benefits. The undersea electricity interconnectors and new transmission infrastructure between Tasmania and Victoria, dubbed Marinus Link, are estimated to cost $3.5 billion to build.  The Commonwealth and Tasmanian Governments have already committed over $200 million to pay for feasibility studies and a business case, and a Final Investment Decision is set for 2024. But both governments privately acknowledged most of the benefits will go to mainland electricity customers and Tasmanian energy generators, including Hydro Tasmania and wind farm owners, and not to Tasmanian consumers.  Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-22/marinus-link-power-project-cost-argument-tasmania-v-victoria/101169642

 A communications fault halted all early V/Line trains on Wednesday morning, the third complete network outage in five weeks. V/Line posted on its Twitter account just after 6am that "no train services are operating across all lines due to a communications fault". Trains were initially held in their positions across all regional lines because it was not safe for them to continue without drivers and controllers being able to communicate. Chief executive Matt Carrick apologised to passengers for the delays. Read More: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-22/vline-trains-halt-communications-fault/101172582
