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.

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?

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.

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"

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.

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.

@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."

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."

Chris Minns, NSW Premier: "for the sake of Social Cohesion™, we're inviting a wanted war criminal from a rogue state to visit, granting police extraordinary emergency powers to forcefully suppress the expression of non-approved messages in non-approved locations, and installing extra Social Cohesion™ fences and barriers in the middle of the city. In order to ensure maximum Social Cohesion™ please don't come into the city, and if you do, then disobeying the instructions of one of the 3,000 Social Cohesion™ officers will result in a $5,000 fine. This is for your own good. You will cohere, or else."

The 2024 New South Wales council elections are happening today. Don't forget to vote, and get a Democracy Sausage at the exit!
Notably, this election will be affected by an administrative bungle by the RWNJ Liberal Party of NSW. 140 candidates for 16 councils failed to get their paperwork submitted in time so aren't on the ballot.
Also notable, the ballot this year has approximately 120 conspiracy-theory nutjobs, anti-lockdown nutjobs, COVID-denial nutjobs. It's an extraordinarily high number of "fringe" candidates.
Vote-counting will begin at 7:00 tonight, with results for most seats to be announced tonight. Postal votes and seats that are so close they'll require a recount could take a fortnight or more.

@dropbear42 @lilstevie @[email protected] @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook There's a bigger national question out of tonight.
Over the past decade, the Libs have blindly followed Murdoch's lead.
They've pushed culture wars, they've resisted climate action, and they've privatised public assets. They've tried Islamophobia, homophobia, outright racism (particularly against Africans and Aboriginal people), and transphobia.
And now they're out of office across the mainland. Federal and state.
Maybe pretending this is America and playing to "the base" isn't working so well.
