Excellent question
@Wendy_Bacon
An excellent question @wendybacon. Genuine participation with community has become a farce. It is as though the current engagement strategy is intended to minimise voices @festurbanism #ajustcity #Sydney

While all eyes on are on the Feds in terms of a federal #ICAC, in NSW a 'monte python' sketch is playing out at a public hearing where counsel assisting ICAC deserves an Oscar for his patience with witness having memory issues #nswpol #auspol

You get the sense it's like tearing teeth out. Chief Commissioner, the Hon Peter Hall QC increasingly having to clarify witness responses to questions from Jamie Darams, Counsel who is assisting ICAC inquiry into Mayor of Canada Bay & others. #icacnsw #operationtolosa

After today, you will not be permitted to protest in NSW unless you are protesting in a state-sanctioned place, on a state-sanctioned topic, and you have the prior permission of the state. This is a terrible day for democracy. #nswpol

Parramatta River breaks its banks yet again today after another downpour with the frequency of events ever increasing. Relying on a stay-in-place as a key flood management evacuation strategy for large visitor crowds to the #PowerhouseParramatta is fraught with risk.

NSW’s former Transport chief Rodd Staples was so concerned about the safety of the state’s rail network that he raised it in a special meeting with then premier Gladys Berejiklian, and three months later he was fired without cause https://t.co/MUd4SeIHWO

[Matt O'Sullivan @Mattonews]

Premier Dominic Perrottet insisted on pushing ahead with a controversial rail corporation which was at the centre of growing safety concerns because scrapping it would have blown a $2.5 billion hole in the state budget. https://t.co/xuEtJtx8xC
