Zoe Daniels has taken the seat of Flinders, and Joe has thoughts about the new budget — it’s hitting harder than ever, with Victoria now the most taxed state in Australia. From the pain of the cost of living to sneaky cents Joe’s saving at the checkout, we’re all feeling it.

This week, we also talk about:

The revival of The Hastings Club

Peninsula Grammar’s fancy new running track & soccer field

New telecom towers popping up in Mount Martha

Ongoing investigations into the McCrae landslide – and the cost to taxpayers

Illegal dumping and why the tip fees might be the cause

The drought – it’s dry as a chip out there

Joe’s parking confusion at the Ten Tenors concert in Frankston

The Flinders Jetty extension

Endless telemarketer calls – enough already!

Dangerous speeding near the Grasshopper School on Eromosa Rd – time for signs!

And of course, a clean joke to keep it light – “A fellow walks into a bar…”

Hit play, have a laugh, and stay informed. That’s the Joe way.
