  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). 🙂🙏🏻

    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.

  19. 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.

  20. @cooopsspace @ghost_shit this would never even be considered by the #PropertyCouncil sponsored #nsw government. Not to mention realestate.com.au owner #newscorpse , which seems sway #nswpol but SFA influence with the #vicpol ! #vacancytax
