Don’t cry over spilt milk? Well, it doesn’t even have to leave the glass to start a fracas in the seat of Corangamite apparently.
That’s the only conclusion to be drawn from Liberal MP-elect Sarah Henderson failing to consume a pot of milk she held for a post-election photo opportunity at Belmont Hotel this week.
The discarded moo juice didn’t go down well with Animal Justice candidate Andy Meddick (pictured), who also attended the pub.
“No sooner had the camera been packed up, she shot out of there at speed, leaving the milk untouched, to be thrown out,” he posted on social media, along with a crack at dairy industry “cruelty”.
Just as well the photo shoot wasn’t at a bakery with pies.
The handy blokes of Geelong East Men’s Shed might choose to down tools and pick up iPads after the latest development at Grinter Reserve.
City Hall’s switched on free wi-fi around the popular Newcomb community facility after installing a transmitter atop Splashdown, with the shed well in range.
The initiative would help the men and other reserve users join “the digital era”, said City Hall community services boss Linda Quinn.
The reserve was hooked up to the internet as part of the City’s National Year of Digital Inclusion activities, aimed at spreading internet access to segments of the community sometimes isolated form latest technologies.
Double Take can see it now: a shed full of men, heads down checking Facebook.
‘Poke’ ’em if you dare!
