  1. This is just so tasty.

    Nassif is suggesting Alex Hawke, Tony Abbott, and Ray Hadley were all in on the leaning on him to get his cash

  2. Oooh, Nassif is at ICAC this arvo!!!

    I can't wait for him to do the zero fucks "here's how it worked, here's who's involved, deal with it"

  3. I completely understand the dream of this couple and I would love to do it myself, but it's wholly unsustainable to allow people to set up home anywhere.

  4. If I hit a cop, I can be killed. If a cop hits me, I can sue. And they get no consequences.

    "It is my experience that many illegal drugs that are extensively used on the street result in people becoming extremely unpredictable, irrational and violent" says unpredictable, irrational and violent copper.

    Dehumanising much?

  5. Why is the USA investing in critical mineral mines in NSW?

    I sat down with critical minerals expert Professor Susan Park to find out.

    If you prefer to read Susan's work please see the links in the video description.

  6. The Parra metro station construction site has been a bit of a dead zone for a while. Finally filling it will make a massive difference to its CBD.

    While there's a case for more offices, if you're going to go with apartments, you may as well go big:

    "Four towers of up to 43 storeys will be built above or next to the new Parramatta railway station following the planned opening of the 24-kilometre Metro West line between Sydney CBD and Westmead in 2032.

    "The over-station development just north of Parramatta Square will feature 470 apartments – up from 111 outlined in concept plans – and 500 units for student accommodation. It will feature pedestrian laneways and a landscaped park that will form part of a civic link connecting the station to the new Powerhouse Museum and Parramatta River foreshore.

    "A 43-storey tower comprising the 470 build-to-rent apartments will be five storeys higher than originally outlined in the concept plans. Subject to planning approval, a 29-storey office building, a 24-level tower for student accommodation and an eight-storey hotel will also be built on the site."

    Best line: “Alabama on the Yarra” (with that ‘fun in the sun feel) 😎 as in: “Victorian Liberals spent the best part of a quarter-century tearing themselves apart, with much of the past decade given over to Christian fundamentalist entryists trying to seize control and turn the state into Alabama on the Yarra.” ✝️

    Thanks for sharing (even tho’ deeply depressing). 🙂🙏🏻

    Ohhhh - excellent response to make the point: it’s not the wealthy that die in the fire ‘caused by’ or allowed to happen by the unregulated building developments.

    Just see the evidence to the NSW ICAC Operation Rosny for just how callously political wheeler dealers (not even elected! But happy to be brother of elected… I believe it’s called nepotism in some circumstances…) are happy to make money in similar circumstances.

  9. The problem is, it isn't just the government. Online, I have seen countless comments from individuals that are supporting this. They are supporting the police that "pumped a cunt". They are supporting authoritarian.

    I feel this speaks to an article recently in The New Daily that was talking about the shift to the right and the rise in One Nation.

  10. I don't know how you could argue that trust has not been seriously eroded in NSW Police. I feel nationally, NSW has been presented in the media as a "Police state". Between the "pumping of cunts", an innocent man being knelt on the head by officers, and legislation taking away your privacy when it comes to your mobile, it is hard to look at NSW and see it anything other than fascist state.

  11. ‘I didn’t go looking for trouble’: Protester sues NSW after allegedly being punched by police at Herzog rally

    Shadid had requested officers to stop advancing as people were on the ground praying.

    "Const Daniel Stewart then allegedly dragged Shadid, who had travelled from Parramatta, to the ground and punched him in the face and twisted his wrist. Another officer kneeled on his head"

    This seems to be a conundrum worth considering carefully, in the interests of native forests and habitat for multiple endangered species.

  13. NSW Police say they intend to “crack down” on criminal gangs.

    It’s almost as if cracking down on civil protesters exercising their democratic rights was something of an error and that cracking down on organised crime was more important all along.

  14. Footage of police officer boasting about punching Sydney anti-Herzog protester raises questions about conduct

    "Video footage has emerged capturing a New South Wales police officer boasting about “punching” a protester in the head “when he was down”, before the protester was charged with assaulting police.

    Police body-worn camera footage, which was leaked to a social media account and widely shared over the weekend, reveals a male police officer telling his colleagues during the 9 February protest at Sydney town hall against a visit by the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog: “I f*cking pumped that c*nt.”

    A female officer can be heard replying, “So funny,” before the male officer says: “Then I punched him in the head when he was down.”"

    The Minns LaborFail government have always had a problem with ThugCops like these, it's how Minns likes it.

  15. NSW cops showing who they are, backed by corrupt Zionist politicians, they'll keep beating you up there.

    Time to make Minns aware of your complete lack of respect for the NSW Police and their fascist attitude toward citizens of the state:

  16. They keep talking about "the left" of the Liberal Party.

    I've never heard of this?

    Is this just Libs that smoke weed?

  19. Probably not ideal to have the boss of a new museum stand down 72 days before it opens, due to an investigation into "governance and procurement practices":

    "The opening of the billion-dollar Powerhouse Parramatta has been plunged into controversy after its chief executive stepped down 72 days before the opening of the state’s biggest cultural infrastructure investment since the Sydney Opera House.

    "In a shock development, staff were alerted on Thursday afternoon that Lisa Havilah had stood aside from her role of seven years pending completion of a departmental investigation into “governance and procurement practices”. Only five days earlier, the museum had announced its first five exhibitions for the November 7 opening to much fanfare."

  20. Judge Fagan's comments in his judgement on State of New South Wales v Farhat [2026] NSWSC985 might be really helpful for others facing prosecution for criticism of Israel and support of Israel's victims.

  21. Sharath from Building Beautifully has put up a video about arguably Australia's biggest urban planning success story of the past 40 years.

    That's the emergence of Parramatta as one of Australia's great cities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifGwIJo7OWo

    And with good reason. There's a lot that Parra has done right.

    Instead of just building apartments or office towers, it's built both.

    It's built enough new apartments close to public transport to keep house prices level, even as demand has grown.

    It has multiple train lines, ferries, and dedicated busways, has added light rail, and is adding a metro.

    It has the best public square in the whole Greater Sydney metro area in Parramatta Square.

    It has a pedestrianised main street with many restaurants.

    And it's cemented itself as the second CBD (central business district) for the Sydney metro area, and the main CBD for Western Sydney.

    If you have any interest in urbanism and cities, it's worth visiting on a weekday just to see what it looks like when urban planning works.

  22. You don't need to read between the lines. It's not subtle. Just watch the videos, look around you, listen to people who were there. Then decide who to believe: your own eyes or police lies?

  23. Be a spendthrift on cops and a miser everywhere else. Deliver for your big donors early. Court the corporate media. Smear any that won't play ball. Pick a scapegoat whose vote you've already lost or were never going to win. Attack them verbally. Attack them legislatively. Attack them physically. Brazen it out. Without shame or remorse.

    Never.
    Admit.
    Wrong.

    Double and triple down. Lie and lie about your lies. Lie till you believe it. Lie till they start to believe it or get bored of chasing the truth. Accuse your opponents of what you are about to do or know you have already done thus far in secret. Sideline the judiciary. Never let a crisis go to waste. Beatify your martyrs. Declare emergency powers. Focus on force not consent. Praise police. Celebrate 'good' violence as the only defence against the terror of the scapegoat's violence. If the scapegoat isn't violent, keep provoking till they are. Or simply accuse them of being so repeatedly. Align yourself with a fascistic, genocidal regime and do so without equivocation or hesitation. Claim the moral high ground as you do so. Demonise protest. Exploit the free publicity of scandal. Ride your opponent's outrage.

    Never.
    Look.
    Weak.

    Everyone wants a piece of the Bondi massacre, it seems. I took a look at some of those factions and the things they've done in the wake of the tragedy. After the clown show, I have a chat about the conclusions I've come to. --- thank you  #tomtanuki   @tomtanuki

  25. Senior police have taken less than a day to deploy anti-protest powers that were rushed into law after the Bondi Beach terror attack.

    NSW Police late on Christmas Eve moved to ban protest rallies from key metropolitan areas in Sydney after legislation was passed earlier the same morning to allow the action following declared terrorist incidents.

    Meanwhile, Indigenous groups have raised concerns an extension of the police anti-protest designation could render "invasion day" protests on January 26 unlawful.

    Mr Minns said the assemblies could take place, although he drew a distinction between static rallies and marches through the city.
