Politics, opinion and shanties.

Odds on, punters’ logic decided Rosehill’s fate, I write in the @smh #nswpol #housing #westernsydney https://t.co/7hcLtEObLq

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

Labor’s heartland is adrift as the Coalition makes inroads in the burbs, I write in the ⁦@dailytelegraph⁩ #auspol #westernsydney https://t.co/oBodmqI4x0

The worst impact of interest rate increases is being absorbed by lower income earners, I tell the Sunday Telegraph. These families are already making the “painful adjustments” the RBA is seeking, mostly without the luxury of choice.

The implications of the housing affordability collapse are clear. Where’s the urgency from government, I ask in the @dailytelegraph https://t.co/X9rA5adJi3

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

Sporting success comes to players who best anticipate change, adapt, and secure advantage. Cities are no different. #nswpol #sydney #westernsydney

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

The Accord university reforms are about fairness, I tell the ABC. With equity sliding at some of our best resourced universities, that is an urgent task. #auspol #universities https://t.co/GSYT3OLTFL

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

Scholarships won’t make higher education fairer, I write in the @smh. Universities must be prepared to learn from the communities they seek to educate. #universities #auspol #westernsydney #education #equity https://t.co/FuZe1XY3dY

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

Infrastructure can be like the game Jenga, I write in the @smh, with the dependencies between multiple pieces revealed by removing just one. #auspol #nswpol #westernsydney #infrastructure https://t.co/182XD63vUk

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

It’s time our approach to social and affordable housing switches from fantasy to reality, I write in the @dailytelegraph #nswpol #westernsydney #HousingCrisis https://t.co/gdT3MKJyqp

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

The Sydney Metro West is the “everlasting gobstopper” of state politics, I write in the @smh

Events in Gaza and Israel have changed the political tempo in Australia and exposed the shortcomings of ‘fast politics’, I write in @ConversationEDU #nswpol #auspol #fastpolitics

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

Very significant #westernsydney communities are not being included in campaigning on #thevoice referendum, I tell the @smh https://t.co/EyPVwaa87c

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

“Measure twice, cut once.” A jobs-focussed rethink of the Metro will get it back on track, and save millions in wasted consultancies. #nswpol #westernsdyney

A really important discussion on equity in the Accord uni reforms, the NDIS and emissions reduction on @ABCthedrum Always original and provocative!

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

TONIGHT: The University Accord recommendations for improving access to higher education in Australia.

PLUS: NSW will end open plan classrooms - so is it time we talk about ditching open plan offices? #TheDrum

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

Complaining about an “unusual triangular street layout”, I write in the @SMH, is like questioning the price of jousting sticks. It’s absurd. Worse, it’s insulting in a housing crisis demanding honesty over fairness. https://t.co/mEZt0cSb2J #NSWpol #HousingCrisis #westernsydney

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

How much profit is enough? I ask in the @smh https://t.co/edIZbu25GL

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

WATCH – @ellenmfanning, our panel and guests discuss today’s big issues on The Drum: https://t.co/sKDpV4Phrc

Hyper-local campaigning overran hyper-partisan politics at the #nswpol election, I write in the ⁦@ConversationEDU⁩ with Tom Nance. https://t.co/R7aljy7n4G

[Centre for Western Sydney @westsydu_cfws]

When the people of Sydney go to the polls in the New South Wales election on Saturday, about a third of them will be casting votes from #WesternSydney - @DrAndyMarks explains the issues that will drive their votes https://t.co/bMDvYuUOQ0

[Andy Marks @DrAndyMarks]

Forget the polls, atypical contrasts make the #nswelection too close call, I write in the @ConversationEDU https://t.co/jTa0tzyyyM
