Today, Tuesday 3 November, the Governor of Victoria will issue the writs for Victoria’s 2026 state election, formally starting the election process.

A writ is an official document directing the Victorian Electoral Commission to hold an election. Writs are issued for the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council, and set key election dates.

The writs are issued at 6pm.

The electoral roll closes at 8pm tonight, nominations follow, and Victorians head to the polls on Saturday 28 November. After the results are declared, the writs are returned to the Governor with the names of the successful candidates.

CORRECTION: I've taken down the posts I wrote about Ben Carroll in July. After further research, several claims didn't hold. Carroll wasn't the minister responsible for building the Metro Tunnel or North East Link, which was Jacinta Allan's portfolio.

He wasn't in cabinet when Jane Garrett resigned in 2016. He didn't appoint Tony Bates. I found no record that Nilsen is his wife's family's company.

I got those wrong, and I'm sorry. It is not ok to spread misinformation of any kind and I have no excuse for my mistake. When I post on him again, it will be only what the documents show.

My sincere apologies to Ben Carroll and others for posting incorrect information. I fully understand the damage that this can cause.

I post this not because I have been asked to but because my research showed me I was wrong in some areas.

Cold Hard Facts. Corrected when wrong. No misinformation.

Let’s bring this thing home!

🎧 What listeners are saying...

The Bike Boy podcast represents nearly five years of work by our dedicated and fearless team.

The podcast has gained the attention of the mainstream media and independent broadcasters and it’s ultimately led to former Chief Commissioner Kel Glare demanding that criminal charges are laid against Daniel and Catherine Andrews, Assistant Commissioner Brett Curran, as well as the the two junior officers on the scene of the crash that day.

What makes this moment amazing is the knowledge that millions of Australians who had been sold a lie about the crash, now know the truth.

So thank you.

We are now planning the production of Series 4.
And we welcome your help, if you can.

First, we ask that you tell your friends to give the podcast a listen.

Our stats show that when people listen to the first episode of series 1, they overwhelmingly stick with the podcast through to the end.

And the more people who listen to the podcast will mean the less corrupt Victoria will be in the future.

Second, we know times are very tough, thanks largely to poor Governments.

But if you have a few dollars, and you can maybe skip buying one coffee, please consider chipping in to help make Series 4 a reality.

Let’s bring this thing home.

This comment wins the weekend because it exposes the extraordinary hypocrisy at the heart of the Greens’ politics on immigration, national identity and belonging.

Australians of European heritage are told they have no claim to the country their ancestors helped build, yet the same political movement champions further mass immigration and insists newcomers have every right to make Australia their home. Apparently, Indigenous sovereignty is absolute when it can be used to dismiss established Australians, but conveniently disappears from the argument when immigration is being defended.

Generations of Australians built the infrastructure, institutions, industries and prosperity that make this country desirable. Those contributions cannot be erased to accommodate an ideological narrative, any more than Australia’s Indigenous history should be denied.

The Greens cannot simultaneously argue that ancestry determines who belongs in Australia while treating ancestry as irrelevant when advocating immigration. Their selective application of sovereignty, cultural identity and inclusion exposes a political philosophy that changes its principles according to whose interests it wishes to advance.

Fibremaxing is hilarious! As a naturopath all our seminars are telling us people need to eat more fibre. A variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains or supplements with fibre to help build a healthy microbiome.

Based on this report it’s an unhealthy idea that supports toxic masculinity. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The government really wants sick and controlled citizens. 🤔

The eSafety Commissioner has declared a war on emojis.
