What was it, thousands dead in NSW under #Perrottet, hundreds of thousands disabled?

Julia Gillard’s kitchen renovations were subjected to a Royal Commision into corruption.
The inquiry found nothing, but kept the spotlight on unions for months.
It was led by Dyson Heydon, KC, formerly AC, disgraced former judge and the subject of multiple independent allegations of sexual misconduct, and appointed by, you guessed it, the Howard Liberal government.
Now Premier Perrottet insists he called his Health Minister, who is a *lawyer*, for “health advice”, and the minister insists he just happened to be in the room with the head of the ambulance service, who personally intervened to arrange a dispatch for the Premier’s wife. Nothing to see here. No kitchen involved.
I think that meets the Liberal’s low bar for a Royal Commission… or maybe ICAC?

SMH: Refurbishment plans for Barangaroo Cutaway go on display in face of backlash
> Plans to turn the cavernous concrete shell of the Cutaway at Barangaroo into an exhibition hall have quietly gone on public exhibition as the Perrottet government presses ahead with its vision for the subterranean space without a national Indigenous centre despite criticism from Aboriginal leaders.

‘The entire #Sydney rail network went down this afternoon, causing transport chaos for millions. The cause was the failure of a digital communications system (the Digital Train Radio System).
I've seen comments online from someone claiming to work at #SydneyRail that responsibility for DTRS has recently been privatised by the #Coalition NSW state government under Premier #Perrottet.
Can anyone clarify?

In the debate today between #Minns & #Perrottet... Chris Minns said.... he admired how both @GladysB & @Dom_Perrottet had followed the science and listened to Kerry Chant CHO with regard to the COVID pandemic.
The #Perrottet government will use land that has already been bought with public funds and put aside for conservation to offset yet more clearing of endangered bushland for new #housing developments in western Sydney. #nswvotes
Perrottet, one moment crying about his family being brought into politics, next moment doing a video op with his family.
It’s almost as if he’ll say and do anything to squirm out of a tight spot and that he has no standards of decency at all.
I guess it's too much to expect people to stop voting for the asshats that do this ? LNP and ALP

Cool and normal in NSW. Police arrest a student in her home *at midnight* for her part in protesting against RBA policy forcing up the cost of housing. This is using the police to intimidate people who might otherwise protest into submission. Wrong on so many levels.

Perrottet says ‘no one is perfect’ amid Peter Poulos explicit image scandal
https://womensagenda.com.au/latest/perrottet-says-no-one-is-perfect-amid-peter-poulos-explicit-image-scandal/
"No one is perfect" is not a reasonable thing to say about revenge-porn. What Peter Poulos did to Robyn Preston was revenge-porn. He posted explicit photos of her to harm her because he thought he could gain from it.
Dominic Perrottet was slimy and defended him with weasel-words. As Brittany Higgins said, "The more things change the more they stay the same".

Perrottet was never fit to serve as premier, he’s an extremist and a win at any cost career politician. He was elected by his own party, not by the people of NSW.
“It’s a smear job, you can only talk about my family when they’re doing campaign photo ops, not when they have questions to answer.”
Dominic Perrottet lashes out at Hills Shire Council inquiry focus on his brothers - ABC News
Perrottet uses his family for campaigning when it suits him, does gossip mag puff pieces with them, but today he is crying because his adult siblings have been asked to answer a fe questions.

Sorry hun, but it doesn't work like that.
If the family members of the sitting premier allegedly solicited large donations from developers to advance their political agenda, then there's a strong public interest in finding out what happened.
Had the brothers of a sitting Labor premier been accused of the same thing, the Murdoch media would be screaming blue murder—and they would be justified in doing so.

There is a state election in NSW in the next couple of months. I hope voters remember the following points.
1. Both Gladys #Berejiklian and John #Barilaro (former Premier and Deputy Premier for the #Coalition) openly admitted in NSW parliament to pork-barrelling. The former tried to minimise it by saying everyone does it. The latter tried to joke about it ("Call me Porkbarilaro").
2. Both Berejiklian and Barilaro subsequently resigned, facing various accusations of corruption, both continue to be under investigation to this day.
3. NSW's Independent Commission Against Corruption (#ICAC) subsequently confirmed in a public statement that it considers pork-barrelling (a.k.a. the misuse of public funds for partisan ends) a form of #corruption.
4. All the funds allocated under programs accused of pork-barrelling under these two would have had to be signed off by the Treasurer of the day.
5. His name is Dominic #Perrottet.

Does anyone take the #Liberal #Perrottet Govt seriously? #Gambling 'reform' just weeks before the #NSW #election, a 'deadline' at the 'end of 2028! Arguably the cashless rule makes it easier to collect punter"s funds. No limit on punter's losses. The #pubs, #clubs and #casinos must be rubbing their hands with glee. #Labor and the #LNP have a shocking track record on gambling and are addicted to the revenue stolen from the vulnerable and the marginalised. The #Greens and #Wilkie have far better, and better researched solutions #AusPol #NSWPol #QandA

NSW premier hits back at 'Catholic gut' snipe from clubs boss on gaming reforms
#ClubsNSW has grown obscenely rich and powerful by exploiting vulnerable punters and bullying governments. I don’t vote #LNP and I don’t like much of what #DominicPerrottet says but I fully support his stand against the gambling industry.
I would strongly encourage #ChrisMinns to make this a bipartisan issue because #ClubsNSW must not be allowed to roll #Perrottet and consolidate their hold over NSW even more.
