A TWITTER FROM MILEY

It is all over Australian news and no doubt over the International news by now.

A development  rezoning for one of Australia’s prime tourist spots has been stopped and one of the major influences was a Twitter from Miley Cyrus.

Miley told her more than 2.4 million Twitter followers this week that opening up the environmentally sensitive area to development would be a shame.

"Phillip Island is such a magical place, it would be a shame to see it change," she tweeted.

Labor planning spokesman Brian Tee joined a rally Ventnor on Phillip Island which was to be a protest but turned to a celebration.

Mr Tee said Planning Minister Matthew Guy had contacted Bass Coast Shire Council mayor Veronica Dowman on Thursday and told her he had changed his mind.

"It's disappointing that it takes Miley Cyrus, an international superstar, to intervene before (Premier) Ted Baillieu will listen to the local community," he told AAP.

The Hulk is a fictional character, a superhero in the Marvel Comics Universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962).

The Hulk is cast as the emotional and impulsive alter ego of the withdrawn and reserved physicist Dr. Bruce Banner. The Hulk appears shortly after Banner is accidentally exposed to the blast of a test detonation of a gamma bomb (referred to as a "G-bomb") he invented. Subsequently, Banner will involuntarily transform into the Hulk, depicted as a giant, raging, humanoid monster, leading to extreme complications in Banner's life. Lee said the Hulk's creation was inspired by a combination of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein.
