The Member for Ripon, Martha Haylett, is encouraging her constituents to drop into her Maryborough office and claim their $100 Power Saving Bonus.

Martha says her employees have already helped hundreds of residents apply, and she’s urging anyone who hasn’t taken advantage of the scheme to come forward.

The bonus is part of the state government’s push to ease cost-of-living pressures by encouraging people to compare energy plans and potentially switch to cheaper deals.

It’s always a proud moment to see people from diverse backgrounds choosing to call this region home, and adding to the rich fabric of our community! ☺️

Congratulations to all – we’re glad you’re here and look forward to the contributions you’ll continue to make in the years ahead! 🙌🏻

New protest signs reading “Martha Haylett – Access Denied” are popping up across the region in a clear sign of community anger.

The people of Ripon are furious that Haylett voted with the Allan Labor Government to impose the new Emergency Services Tax, which many see as an unfair hit on regional families and farmers.

She also supported legislation giving energy companies the right to access farmers’ private properties for controversial transmission projects – a move widely condemned as an attack on property rights.

For many in the Goldfields region, these are examples of a local MP putting party politics ahead of the people she is supposed to represent.

The Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation will host a special Treaty Gathering tomorrow from 10am to 4pm at Larnangurrak (Our Place) in Golden Square.

Organisers say the gathering is an important chance for Djaara members to stay connected and informed about Victoria’s Treaty process.

The day will include updates on where the process currently stands, opportunities to learn more about the Treaty landscape, and time to ask questions and share thoughts.

“This is our moment — let's come together and be part of shaping our Treaty future!” encouraged Djaara.

Kids under 15 who are gender diverse – including those who identify as furries – are being invited to join a new social network to connect with like-minded friends and families in central Victoria.

The group is based across Castlemaine, Bendigo and Daylesford, and offers a space for transgender, non-binary, q***r, gender-fluid and agender kids to hang out, chat and build friendships.

Parents are welcome to join in too, with group chats and regular meet-ups planned to bring everyone together.
