@jennaprice.bsky.social is right. This is much more than dumb incompetence. WTF is wrong with @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social that he doesn’t see the problem with the NSW Police + the man he has just appointed as commissioner

My letter in today’s SMH. I only once caught the substitute bus from Sydenham to the Dulwich Hill stop. The route was so convoluted it took ages to get to the stop – which was more than a 30 minutes walk to my home. Please fix @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social #SydneyTransport

Why am I not surprised? The scaremongering by
the NSW Police+ Minns has been disgustingly. It has hardly promoted racial/cultural harmony

In an act of pettiness against an institution beloved by their predecessors the Minns government has slashed funding to AGNSW. The gallery believes in long-term thinking. Their summer free exhibition, Mike Hewson’s The Key’s Under the Mat, is a guarantee of love for the arts by the next generation

It’s interesting, the number of articles being published on the actions of Hitler when he first became Chancellor. No parallels are being mentioned, but they don’t have to. This from @theatlantic.com

Hey @myinnerwest.bsky.social This is Sydney Long’s By Tranquil Waters (1894) The subject is Cooks River. The Balmain-biased #InnerWest Council brags about swimming in the cleaned-up Parramatta River but no one dare swim in the polluted river on the other side of the municipality
