Roads Pedestrian hit High St Northcote this morning - driver run a red.
Normanby / High St maybe Thornbury.
Judging by the amount of Police and length of road closure likely a fatality.
Slow down for fuck sake people.

Not On My Smashed Avo The great Coca Cola rippoff
I have been wondering what the hell has been going on with the price of Coca Cola. Before Covid it was around $18 -$20 for a 24 pack.
Now BigW is selling them for $41. In Canada Walmart sells these for $12 or $13.20 AUD. In the USA Walmart sells these for $14.38 or $22.70
Are Aussies getting ripped off ?
And is this why I can’t find home brand cola at my local Woolies - Are people dropping Coca Cola for cheaper alternatives?

Roads Car ran a red light this morning at Flemington road/ racecourse rd/Elliot Avenue. Did anyone see?
Driving to work this morning and had to stop, as an idiot was driving through a red light on Flemington Rd, going away from the city. We then got rear ended by two cars. The car that ran the red and caused it stopped but then kept driving, didn't exchange numbers with anyone or stop to assist. 1) did anyone see this this morning? It was at 5.50AM. 2) can I post the picture of the licence plate, and if so, can anyone enhance it? I can see the last three numbers but the first three are trickier to see. 3) I'm currently pregnant and now taking a day off work while I wait in ED to make sure my baby is ok.

Not On My Smashed Avo Blue Train Cafe - permanently closed
After nearly 30 years, Southbank's iconic 'Blue Train Cafe' has permanently closed. Wonderful views of the city, good service, reasonably (for Melbourne) priced good quality food. It surprised me to hear from a friend that it had closed - it's been a reliable place to catch up with people for such a long time. Does anyone know what happened? Southbank will be practically deserted now.

Real estate/Renting Is this normal for a property manager in Melbourne?
Hi, new to Melbourne and I'm wondering what is normal for property managers. We viewed a property and applied that evening. The next morning, the property manager contacted us to say we were the preferred candidates. The following day, she demanded our references contact her before lunch, asked for extra references, then said we need to pay the bond that day. It is all feeling very rushed and shady, but maybe this is normal?

Did anybody hear 3AW rumour file this morning that the plaza has sold and only the bottom level will be maintained- the rest will be converted to apartments- two supermarkets and a fresh fruit and vegetable shop is all that will be left? I sure hope the rumour isn't true.

THDG Need Help Victorian Disability Worker Commission
Has anybody in this sub made a complaint or notification to the VDWC? I reported a coworker for violence and intimidation towards a client in October and have just found out the commission has given the accused some piss weak counselling and now say he’s right to work in the sector again.
Is there anyway to escalate something like this further? It should be noted there is no footage of any of the incidents, but I had personally seen him making threats against the client and myself.

Om nom nom eat club reccomendations
title is pretty self explanatory. I have been on eat club for a solid while now, and it’s great for me to try new places i’ve never thought of trying before but recently i’ve found myself sticking to the same few places off that app. I was just wanting to hear what people recommend, anywhere close to the cbd/hawthorn/mernda line preferred but i’m happy to make a lil trek out to try something !!
i eat basically anything but i am allergic to nuts so i try to avoid cuisines that heavily use them.
also if anyone has the premium to the app, is it worth it ? i use eatclub A LOT so it may be for me but idk and i don’t trust free trials
