What a lark privatisation is. For everyone except consumers.

"Former NSW energy minister Matt Kean said he was told extending Eraring's life would cost $3 billion... due to the rising cost of coal."

There was a time when the state of NSW owned and operated the electricity supply chain, from coal face to meter box, charging consumers cost + maintenance + reinvestment - designed and managed by engineers.

Imagine electricity bills today if such a commonsense, commonwealth arrangement were still in place.

“We cannot pretend that [the act] is ever likely to achieve its objectives,” lead reviewer Dr Ken Henry said. “Biodiversity is not being conserved.

“The natural environment is now so damaged that we must commit to ‘nature positive’ if we are to have any confidence that future generations will have the opportunity to be as well off as we are.”

NSW police - keeping us safe from grandmothers with dementia and epileptic teenagers. What would we do without them? I reckon it might be time to find out.

Fire Ants: 'Throwing everything at our efforts' reads more like 'playing with the fringes'.

Considering the closing end of Winter, you'd think this would be the last timing to increase the number of field officers doing surveys and baiting in Queensland;
while NSW increase field officers to first deploy on Verroa mites, and redeloy where needed to survey far-north NSW for fire ants.

If you live in the , or anywhere in the area really, have a look at this petition to make better for people:

Since there’s going to be a toll-free bypass between the Rozelle Interchange and the Iron Cove Bridge, we could repurpose some of the above ground space for pedestrians, cyclists, trees and more.

The supreme leader. Mark Latham has been dumped as the One Nation leader in NSW. Pauline Hanson staged an extraordinary intervention in the state branch to remove him, installing a new state executive & making herself the branch’s temporary leader.
