In Short: Residents in Melbourne's south-east suburbs have been issued around 40 per cent of road toll fines in the past 12 months. Over the 2022-2023 financial year, residents in the City of Casey received 35,246 fines issued for driving on the state's toll roads. A community legal centre in the area says it is seeing 'unprecedented demand' for its services in part due to financial pressures.

"I feel like if I had specialist support as a child, I may not have experienced recurring homelessness, as I did." When Joal was five, she and her family were homeless. She says no-one asked her how she was coping. There's a push to change that. https://t.co/5doPUWxaHM
