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). 🙂🙏🏻

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.

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.

‘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"

@gnoll110 @vandenberglegs @ajsadauskas More shenanigans at ICAC (the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption).
This time, it called up Anita Perrottet, who's the wife of Charles Perrottet, and the sister-in-law of former NSW State Premier Dominic Perrottet. (For anyone reading this outside Australia, a premier is our equivalent of an American state governor.)
Charles was allegedly one of the recipients of $2 million in bribes from failed property developer Jean Nassif.
Again, at this stage, I think Dominic should be called to explain what he knew abd when ge knew it.
From the Sydney Morning Herald:
"[Anita Perrottet's] evidence was so thoroughly unconvincing, and the corruption watchdog’s case against her so comprehensive, that it was tempting for a brief moment to feel sorry for the mother of two.
"However, the sheer volume of implausible claims uttered while twisting and contorting her way through a two-day appearance ultimately made it difficult to have much sympathy.
...
"She was paid $660,999 between July 2020 and December 2022 – a figure almost exactly one-third of the $2 million bribe that Nassif is alleged to have agreed to pay her husband and two other Liberal Party operatives.
"There is no written record of any work Anita did to warrant the payments. She repeatedly insisted that she was paid such a huge amount to be a “sounding board”.
...
"Anita Perrottet is no fool. She has a degree in marketing and communications from the University of Canberra. She has worked at global asset management company Fidelity International, the so-called “millionaire’s factory” Macquarie Bank, investment firm Magellan Financial Group, and funds giant Australian Unity. Perrottet agreed with Dwyer’s assessment this week that she was a “pretty astute businesswoman”.
...
"If her version of events is to be believed, Perrottet’s marketing knowledge is so good that she earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for nothing other than giving verbal advice to Jeremy Greenwood, a close friend of her family and the owner of two lobbying firms named Beckington and JPG Advisory.
"Greenwood, Charles Perrottet and Liberal operative Christian Ellis are the three men the ICAC alleges were to be the recipients of the $2 million Nassif bribe.
...
"It is not disputed that Beckington and JPG Advisory paid Perrottet the $660,999 in various invoices over 2½ years. She also concedes there is not one scrap of written evidence that she actually did any work.
"Pressed on what sort of advice she gave, Perrottet said that Greenwood at one point sought her counsel on behalf of a vaping client. Who was the client? She didn’t know. Did she do any research? No, but she did read news articles that had popped up on her social media feeds.
"What strategic advice did she provide in relation to the black market for vaping? “That there needed to be better regulation.” What did that advice include? “Like, you know, minors shouldn’t be able to be buying vapes, essentially.” For good measure, she also apparently advised Greenwood that kids would vape less if fun flavours were banned."
...
"But the problems with her evidence didn’t end there. On Friday, she said she knew tax deductions listed by her business could only be made for legitimate business purposes. She said she would have only claimed travel for meetings she had held in Sydney with Greenwood.
"But she was soon presented with evidence that her husband had actually undertaken the regular travel to Sydney while she stayed at home in Melbourne. During the travel, Charles met with Nassif. Whoops, that must have been an error, Anita explained."

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."

{updated govt responsible]
Yes, of course, it’s the Federal govt’s water buy-back scheme that is at fault. No, nothing to do with growing a thirsty crop on the driest Continent on earth or the #ClimateCrisis and the resulting droughts we are experiencing as a result of man made emmissions (with more to come with forecasted El Ninio events — have I got that right?)No, nothing at all. Shame on the govt for hoarding water like that.

From the OnePath Network Facebook group (link at end of post):
"NSW Premier Cancels Annual Iftar Following Deteriorating Relationship with the Muslim Community
NSW Premier Chris Minns has cancelled the state government’s annual Iftar dinner for the second time in three years, citing “consultation with Muslim community leaders,” amid escalating tensions between the Minns government and sections of the Muslim community. Several leaders say the cancellation reflects a deeper breakdown in trust. Lebanese Muslim Association Secretary Gamel Kheir described the move as “heartbreaking,” adding that under the current climate “no Islamic leaders would have attended anyway.” Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun went further, accusing the Premier of having a “fetish” for attacking Muslims. The cancellation of what has traditionally been a symbolic gesture of inclusion during Ramadan has been interpreted by critics as a sign that relations have deteriorated beyond ceremonial repair.
The strained relationship has been building for months, fuelled by the government’s handling of protests in Sydney, the fallout from Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Australia, and the Premier’s refusal to apologise after police forcibly removed Muslim men praying outside Town Hall during a peaceful protest. Community advocates also point to newly introduced hate speech laws, which they argue disproportionately impact Muslim and pro-Palestine voices under the guise of maintaining public order. While the Minns government maintains its approach is focused on safety and social cohesion, critics say the pattern of rhetoric and policy decisions has created an atmosphere of alienation. As Ramadan unfolds without the state’s official Iftar gathering, many see the cancellation not as a logistical decision, but as a symbol of a relationship that has become increasingly fractured."

CW: Chris Minns: you're picking today to attack an anti-racist movement (again)? #auspol #InvasionDay #26thJan #CriminalisationOfDissent #NSWpol
Premier Minns, you claim that your draconian suppression of criticism is motivated by pubic safety and wellbeing.
How does it make Aboriginal people more safe to face increased police powers, when racialised violence from NSW police is one of the core complaints Aboriginal people want to raise with your administration?
Your new anti-protest laws have been used precisely *once* so far: to shut down a peaceful walk by an Aboriginal man accompanied by a few hundred friends, who intended to walk a few hundred metres, not disrupting any traffic or making anyone's life harder. To stop this, your government thought it was worth allocating about as many police officers as there were protesters, in order to physically prevent this dangerous and divisive event from occurring, using extreme force if necessary. What was the grievance of this individual and his friends? The racist violence of NSW police against his people. Yep, that's the perfect moment to premiere these shiny new anti-protest laws.

A really insightful analysis of why this keeps happening in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/21/why-are-sydney-trains-delays-so-bad-nsw-rail-network
Along with archaic practices (carbon paper notes?!?!), interlining is singled out:
"While technical issues are unavoidable on a rail network that hosts 400m trips each year, the latest outage has reignited the nagging question on the minds of millions of Sydneysiders: how can just one incident on one train at a station with multiple tracks bring down an entire city’s rail network?
...
"The answer to the first question is easier to comprehend, and dates back to plans made in the early 1900s – including a famous vision for new lines from Sydney Harbour Bridge engineer John Bradfield – about how to expand the rail network to cater to a growing Sydney.
"Rather than a master plan for new lines independent of each other – as modern metro and underground systems were increasingly being built throughout the 20th century – the approach for Sydney was to take advantage of the huge capacity of the six tracks that comprise its main western railway between Central and Strathfield.
"In cities such as London, commuters can avoid a bottleneck or outage on one line by switching to another to dodge a problem section of track. But almost all heavy rail services in Sydney’s suburban network – including trains to the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, City Circle or Airport – are routed to pass through the Central-Strathfield corridor.
“'A lot of our lines are tangled with each other,' Sydney Trains CEO, Matt Longland, said. 'At this critical pinch point … one incident in a location like this can bring down a significant part of the network.'"
Coincidentally, interlining is also why issues on one line end up affecting multiple lines on Melbourne's network as well.
