Jacqui FelgateHOST
Isn't it just beautiful? Did you do something special this weekend because the weather was so amazing? It's always like this in Melbourne, isn't it? All right, today, a simple message.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
When the government, or indeed anyone, Any party says discounted tolls, discounted public transport fares or even free public transport, as is the case of the Greens, who I'll be speaking to shortly.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
It's not true.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
Someone is paying and that someone is you, the taxpayer.

Jacqui FelgateHOST
So if you travel on CityLink, the government is now saying we'll cut it to $30 a week capped, and the Liberals are saying $50 a week.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
And on top of that, public transport.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
The Greens are pledging now they want public transport free altogether, and Ben Carroll is saying he'll cap it at $30 a week.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
So your reaction to that, the Greens leader, Alan
Jacqui FelgateHOST
So talking about the government's policy now, and they want to cap public transport fares at $30, but the Greens want to go one step further.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
And my issue here is how do we define what is free? Ellen Sandell is the leader of the Victorian Greens.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
Thanks for your time today.
Ellen SandellGUEST
Good afternoon, Jackie.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
What did you think about how public transport was free for a period of time earlier this year? Like that just went on to the taxpayer.
Ellen SandellGUEST
No, actually, I think that was great.
Ellen SandellGUEST
I think most Victorians that I spoke to said it was just such a relief because it was something that the Greens had called for.
Ellen SandellGUEST
And yes, the government did it for two months, which we celebrated.

Victorian Greens wants the Victorian State Government to open state-owned supermarkets.
speaker_0HOST
Ten of them.
speaker_0HOST
And they say that essential groceries would then become up to 30% cheaper than at Coles and Woolworth.
speaker_0HOST
But do stick with me because there is a question underneath this and it applies to every licensed shooter who buys ammunition, firearms or equipment.
speaker_0HOST
So welcome to another episode of Gun News Australia.
speaker_0HOST
The Victorian Greens have made an election promise about publicly owned supermarkets.
speaker_0HOST

speaker_0HOST
Now, the Greens say they want a trial of 10 publicly owned supermarkets, five in Melbourne, five in regional Victoria, because they say that basic groceries, including bread, milk, eggs, meat, fruit and vegetables, could cost up to 30% less than at the big supermarket chains.
Fran KellyHOST
Thank you for listening.
Fran KellyHOST
But Raf, we saw the Victorian Greens surge to 16% primary support in this week's AFR Redbridge poll interestingly.
Fran KellyHOST
So they are getting a little bit of traction, and they're looking rather ambitious.
Fran KellyHOST
They haven't got a whole lot of seats.

think
Peter SchravemadeHOST
came out from the Greens, the Victorian Greens today.
Peter SchravemadeHOST
And the 40% ex-rental reality.
Peter SchravemadeHOST
So, If I understand this, the Greens talking about bringing in Victorian landlords facing mandatory licences and three-strike bans.
Peter SchravemadeHOST
I mean, I think this is just so stupid that we don't need to necessarily talk about it.
Peter SchravemadeHOST
But, you know, what are your thoughts? Do you think they've got bucklies of getting this up or is it just trying to win votes?
Chris EddyHOST
The official date for close of voting in that by-election is the 4th of December.
Chris EddyHOST
The Victorian Greens have criticized a City of Melbourne decision to recognize January 26 as Australia's National Day.
Chris EddyHOST
As previously reported, the council voted to end its advocacy for changing the date and to put a possible Australia Day parade back on the agenda.

David ShoebridgeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
with their letter to the Prime Minister, having been vetted and edited in tracked changes by the Prime Minister before he receives it, like, could it get to any higher fuss? This is not some kind of independent parliamentary committee.
David ShoebridgeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is just some kind of highly expensive, choreographed rubber stamp for the Prime Minister.
Nairi PakaiHOST
The Victorian Greens want landlords to be licensed and rental properties inspected under a new election proposal.
Nairi PakaiHOST
The party says an independent regulator would enforce minimum housing standards, with landlords required to register before leasing their properties.
Nairi PakaiHOST
Greens MP for Richmond, Gabrielle DeVitri, says renters are being forced to put up with unsafe and substandard homes.
Gabrielle de VietriSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What is the point of minimum standards if there's nobody there to actually enforce them? If it relies on renters having to take their landlord to court just to be in a safe and habitable home? You shouldn't have to risk the roof over your head just to have your minimum standards met.
