some wonderful individuals over on instagram have prepared an email template to send to Premier Andrews and Minister Wynne regarding the lockdown of the North Melbourne/Flemington public housing units. you can find the template here: https://twitter.com/Janet12358W/status/1280113198868258817 [link description: a link to a twitter thread from @/Janet12358W containing the email template and credit for @/_bonjour.bitch and @/alumied from instagram. /end description]

please take the time to send this email to the Premier and Minister as a way of showing support for those who have been unjustly locked in their apartments with little to no notice.

That's the same MP who threw her and her friends, a few random radio contest winners, and social media influencers a private expenses paid concert by Sam Smith with state tax money.

Sam posted one picture of their concert with tags about SA, one picture at one of our Wildlife parks that didn't even include any wildlife, and one picture at one of our beaches but didn't say where they were. Apparently this will tots send the tourists flocking!

Can't support rent caps, that will reduce the tax landlords are paying, i.e. money for Sam Smith concerts!!

Does Zoe Bettison know that Zac Efron already lives in Australia and has more instagram followers than Sam Smith orrr???

Heaven forbid using that money for an increase to the annual Cost of Living Concession she introduced when she was last a minister under the Weatherill government in the middle of a fucking cost of living crisis 🙃
