The Zen of Sarcasm:

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.
2. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
3. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
4. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
6. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
7. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.
9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
10. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment.
11. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
12. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.
13. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
14. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
16. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
19. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
20. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Further to the Premiers media release on 15 July (link below) that provided information regarding future arrangements for the Bushfire Appeal Fund, below is some additional information regarding next steps:

The  Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund Panel has recently set aside some money to meet the medium and long term needs of bushfire affected communities. A new community advisory committee made up of community members from bushfire affected areas will provide advice to the Panel on medium to long term recovery needs.

• The VBAF Panel, in its current form, has a final meeting in August where it will examine a final set of community projects from the $43M community rebuilding initiative

• The Premier announced a new Panel in early July and it is expected they will meet during September where it will consider amongst other things, the role, make-up and appointment of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC).

• This will be communicated broadly when it is decided.
