  1. 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.

  2. 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."

  7. HOW STUPID IS CHRIS MINNS? THE MOST STUPID!
    @[email protected] - you created that civil unrest due to your profound ignorance. Riddle me this ... why couldn't he have projected a menorah (Ner Tamid) instead of the genocidal state's flag? Because you're a power tripping idiot! #Auspol #nswpol

    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). 🙂🙏🏻

  14. Actually, the CSG are Zionist, not Jewish. Sadly, any such move will fuel hostility toward the Jewish community. That's no doubt fine by the Zionists.

  18. I remember a time decades ago when NSW was considered a police state where crooked cops was a systemic problem. It doesn’t look like it has changed much. Worse, the police now tramples on common law rights…

    “The October 2022-enacted digital evidence access order regime provides that police can obtain a DEAO when executing search and crime scene warrants, and if the subject of the order refuses this, then it’s an offence carrying up to 5 years prison time. And as the section containing this criminal offence notes, this measure overrides the common law right against self-incrimination.

    However, once NSW police officers have obtained access to a suspect’s phone, they don’t simply scroll through the owner’s latest social media posts, as rather, they employ a device and software developed by Israeli digital forensics company Cellebrite that once connected to a civilian’s phone downloads its entire content, including all deleted messages and images.”

    How good are ‘panick buttons’, those that wipe a mobile clean as the push of a button? Not that I’d necessarliy consider it on my mobile, but you never know, right? I can’t see Police powers being roled back anytime soon, quite the contrary, expansion of those powers seems inevitable while #Minns is in charge.

  19. A #Nazi rally took place over the weekend in #NSW, approved to take place by NSW #Police, and on this side of it everyone's going "well, *I* didn't know about it, this was clearly a breakdown in communication, we have no idea how this happened" when the easiest answer of "because #cops are #racist" really could just. Be the reason.
