The smoke can cause some irritation especially for people with existing respiratory issues. Residents within 500 metres of the smoke plume should head indoors, turn off heating, heed advice, or call nurse on call (1300 60 60 24) if they're worried.

Thanks to the 145 or so firefighters who are working to suppress the fire in West Footscray. Obviously it's a big one, not helped by the number of acetone drums and oxygen cylinders within the site that exploded.

These are the things that families care about. This is what Victorians deserve. This is what we'll fight for. Always.

This week, the number we were focused on was $890. That's how much the average family can save every year with our plan to equip 650,000 homes with solar power. And another number: 5,500. That's how many jobs our plan is expected to create.

So long as these guys are focused on doing the numbers for themselves, they'll never be able to do anything about the numbers that keep struggling families up at night. Thankfully, we have a Labor Government in Victoria to do just that.

- The wages that haven't gone up. - The extra hours people are working. - The penalty rates they're no longer getting. - The billions cut from hospitals and schools. - And the prices pushed up by Liberal electricity privatisations, year by year by year.

We've heard a lot of talk this week about who has 'the numbers' in the Liberal Party – but ordinary people in this state are more concerned about a different set of numbers:

Victorian families are fed up with big corporations ripping them off ever since Jeff Kennett and the Liberals sold Hazelwood and privatised our electricity. So we'll put solar panels on 650,000 homes to cut bills and create jobs.
