  24. @kyp92

    While the Premier’s message is absolutely *on song* and it’s refreshing to finally have the head of a govt acknowledge that not only does #StateCapture exists but that it is not in the interest of our society. #Privatization is the mechanism by which the worst of #NeoLiberalism is implemented.

    It should be written into the constitution that no public infrastructure should be help in private hands. Period.

    Let’s have a referendum on this #ChrisMinns, let’s put that in the NSW Constitution. Or are you just *dog whistling* ?

  25. Minns said he wouldn’t ‘gloat’ about Icac hearings into the Liberals. Instead, he’s quietly taken out the trash
    By Penry Buckley

    Amid revelations that could damage the Liberals’ state election hopes, the NSW government dropped key documents on three contentious issues

  26. Another article on new NSW Police powers. Facial recognition and #DAO (Device Access Order). If this report is accurate and hasn’t left out crucial details, there is little to fear except *Overreach* by police officers. Hence there is a real need for some kind of *Check & Review* procedures and a clearer understanding of a citizen’s rights under both of these legislation proposals.

    Fighting #OrganisedCrime under increasingly complex technologies is a fair matter for legislative action, but what are the social costs? Has any study been conducted on this?

  27. TIL about Parliamentary powers to Order Documents be produced (OPD) from the govt. The NSW’s Premier doesn’t like it, apparently. There’s a lot he doesn’t like, protests for instance, or transparency, and even free speach. He’s a peculiar one this one. He’d fit in well as a Liberal Premier.

  30. Chris "the Philistine" Minns strikes again.

    One of Australia's leading professional vocal ensembles is closing, because the NSW Premier was unwilling to chip in $190,000 to keep it afloat.

    Seems playing the role of a fiscal conservative on right-wing talkback radio stations is more important than the arts.

    And he has form in this area.

    He previously threatened to end funding for regional galleries.

    He's already said he'll cut public art at stations on the Western Sydney Metro line to save a few thousand dollars on a multi-billion-dollar project.

    And now this.

    Minns has consistently been to the right of Gladys, instead of on the side of the wage earners of NSW.

    "Established in 1984, The Song Company has long struggled to remain viable.

    "It entered voluntary receivership in 2019, and a source familiar with the matter said it was unsuccessful in its application for a two-year funding from Create NSW in 2025. Observers in the music sector say The Song Company is the canary in the coal mine, and other ensembles are living hand to mouth.

    "The announcement also comes two weeks before the Australian Design Centre finally closes its doors after 60 years, having not received sufficient federal and state funding to continue operating.

    "About 25 per cent of The Song Company’s revenue came from government funding. In the 2024 calendar year, it received $190,000 from the NSW government, according to its latest financial report – a significant bump after receiving $114,000 in calendar year 2023."

  31. Open letter calling for the NSW government to drop all charges against the anti-Herzog protesters targeted by NSW Police based on an unconstitutional law, in the context of the most widespread instance of street violence by NSW Police since at least 1978. Note that the list of signatories is headed by a number of individuals who survived that homophobic/transphobic violence back in 1978 and who help connect the dots to the police violence seen around Town Hall on the evening on 9th Feb 2026 that was directed against thousands of people who had gathered to peacefully protest against the ongoing complicity of NSW/Australian governments in the #GazaGenocide.

    Police actions on that evening are allegedly under current investigation by the (often toothless) police watchdog known as LECC (not being officially investigated: the prior actions of the Minns government in setting the stage for that night's shameful display of police brutality). Yet prosecutions against a small number of protesters are apparently still going ahead, despite the NSW Supreme Court having already ruled that the primary legislation shaping the police response was itself unconstitutional.

    Please read and consider signing, especially if you're in NSW.

  34. “…alas, the NSW Premier Chris Minns has now reached the Joe Hockey level of economic ignorance.” (Source: The Point)

    I’ve never been a fan of #ChrisMinns, even back when I was a #Labor party member. I don’t like him at the best of times because he peddles the #NeoLiberal lies about economic prosperity and doesn’t appear to be clever enough to head a govt, even a State one at that. You’ll forgive me if I’m dismissive, but #Minns ‘ past performance, including his latest #Authoritarian attitudes, in what is a fast changing society, is reflected in knee-jerk reactionary policies and rammed-through legislation which proved to be #Unconstitutional. The man is not too bright from a social licence perspective. He is also #Captured by anti-social interests.
