If you guys put Don Harwin back in you’ve learnt nothing. IDC what faction… What leader challenges a covid fine when so many people did exactly the same thing and got fined. None. Then all his rigging and the epic failure Don should never work in politics again.
Last night a gathering at the NSW Parliament witnessed an extraordinary moment — the conferral of one of France’s highest honours, upon two remarkable individuals: Silas Despreaux and Damien Guérot.
This decoration is a solemn recognition of extraordinary courage.
On 13 April 2024, Australia witnessed a tragedy that will long be etched in our national memory. A brutal stabbing attack at Bondi Junction took six innocent lives and wounded many more.
In those terrifying moments, when instinct tells us to run, two men — Silas and Damien — chose to stand.
With only bollards in their hands, they ran towards the danger, towards the unknown.
They warned civilians, helped usher them to safety, and positioned themselves between a knife-wielding attacker and innocent lives.
They later joined Inspector Amy Scott — herself a hero — and offered their strength and resolve.
Their actions were spontaneous, fearless, and deeply human.
It is fitting that France has chosen to honour them — and here in Australia, we too honour them – recognising not only their courage but also how their actions reflect the longstanding friendship and cooperation between our two nations. ... See MoreSee Less

You are potentially the next premier, so now is the time to outline a grand plan to cover Sydney in fast, efficient metro lines. This can be paid for by selling land rights over existing rail corridors.
Disabled clown mp reading out an email in senate claiming he was bullied by it, absolutely soft and disgusting for someone whose entire salary and lifestyle is paid by the tax payer to think that listening to the tax payer is bullying, you are everything wrong with the liberal party and politics in Australia in general and the party will never get anywhere as long as morally bankrupt soft clowns like you stick your hand out and keep asking for our money
