We are still to learn why Perrottet approved the $5.5 million Wagga Wagga clay target club and convention centre grant for Gladys Berejiklian, and Daryl Maguire even though the gun club development failed to meet legal requirements.

“The gun club development: meets none of the legal requirements for funding under the Restart NSW Fund Act.

“Allowable projects include transport and roads infrastructure, health and public services infrastructure, infrastructure in areas “affected by mining operations” and infrastructure “required for the economic competitiveness of the State”.

Today, I'm moving from #Canberra to #WaggaWagga to join the Daily Advertiser as a cadet journo.

Eight moves, four cities, two countries in four years. I am tired, but There's something pleasantly full circle about starting a career as a muso in the bush, then returning to start a new one.

If you're from #Wagga or surrounds, let's connect - tell me what's up!

oh wow might be a stretch but still :D

#Eurythmics started, in some ways, in a hotel room in #WaggaWagga.

Dave Stewart and #AnnieLennox's previous band The Tourists had broken up amid an Australian tour. Tinkering with a synthesiser in a #Wagga hotel room they came up with the answer - make "weird and experimental electronic music". https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-21/40-years-eurythmics-sweet-dreams/101867890

Round 2 of my #introduction - now with hashtags! I’m an #ArtHistorian and #academic based in #Wagga in #Australia focused on regional Australian perspectives within #Islamic #art. For the #greenbeetlecompany (a collaborative #performance #research group) I make #shadow #puppets inspired by medieval Egyptian precedents (khayal al-zill) and curate exhibitions. My previous work focussed on the #history of the #Tentmakers of #Cairo, and as Sub Dean I coordinate #PhD students in the #Faculty of #Arts and #Education at Charles Sturt #University.
