Amazing! No local government area left behind. This is how you do it. Well done Regional Victoria.

Replying to @camincoll
This time last year Victoria was peaking in its daily cases with a uniform lockdown and getting its act together with contact tracing. No sign of peaking in NSW. Last year at this time Victoria faced many more weeks. Hard to compare. A lot rides on very high vaccination rates.

A message to the boneheads in the Murdoch media trying to undermine Premier Berejiklian: stop it. This is a public health emergency, not another front in your stupid bloody culture war. We must stop the spread to protect jobs, save lives and to spare people from long Covid.

Super pleased with how this interstate retrospective program came together, screening across the country (sans VIC) - I think it has a great flow matching heavy hitters with some more obscure works.
Hell.Yeah. But seriously, so thankful to have our first national season get such a great turn-out. People coming to see films on the big screen that they can otherwise watch at home fills our hearts. Enjoy season 2! palacecinemas.com.au/events/…

FOTAA AGM 2019- like no other! Due to COVID-19 we’ll be hosting our AGM online- please join us. For more details and RSVP, email: [email protected]
COVID-19 has added a new chapter to the Astor’s history. While the doors are closed, we’d like to give a plug for free-to-air TV, esp for those struggling to pay the bills right now. SBS World Movies nightly film programming selection would be much at home on any Astor calendar!
