The lockdown cookers are on chemtrail patrol in the ACT today. Do your own research, guys.

Not sure if there's anything to this (or anything more to it), but if true, it's a problem in NSW LNP culture which should absolutely go straight to ICAC.

A family superannuation fund... so not as arm's length as it might otherwise be made out to be. No excuse not to have known.


Though it might take lettuce leaf Perrottet ages before he bites the bullet on this - the porn poster MP has only just fallen on his own (pork?) sword, with no decisive action to uphold behavioural values on Perrottet's part.

Lol, this is no transport policy, it is a "clutching at straws" transport policy. Lol. Yeh, let's encourage more people onto roads with toll relief, adding to more road congestion and greenhouse gasses. Nice one Labor!!



While on the other hand, the Libs have delivered not just on transport, but health.


In fact, they have delivered on more than that. Education and arts and green space. In the education list below, it doesn't even mention Samuel Gilbert Public School just a few streets away from me. Another Liberal public school upgrade that used to be mostly demountables. I can provide a pic tomorrow if anyone wants me to, just to prove it.

The transformation in NSW and particularly Sydney has been enormous over the past 12 years. Sure, they have made mistakes, but shite loads has been done. That is quite a comprehensive list of infrastructure across all avenues.
Vivid has gone to an extreme level of success. This year's will reach record levels of visitation - up to 3 million people. It just keeps getting better and better.
When the Libs decided to move the Powerhouse to Parramatta, they were accused of selling off the city sight to their developer mates, but no, they are now upgrading the city version so it ain't going anywhere.
The new Fish Markets under construction will become Sydney's 3rd iconic visited location, and there'll be new ferry wharves and routes to gain easy access.



That Labor party link above is just embarrassing and proves they really have no clue or plans. It's why sweet FA got built while they were last in power.
It's quite ironic that mud is being slung by them now (about Perrotet's brothers) with an election coming up, considering their own history.
I clearly remember the Parramatta - Epping Rail Link being announced 3 times by Labor, as I had a vested interest, and each time after they won power it was cancelled.
The NW Rail Link was announced by Labor and planning was already underway when the current Libs won power 12 years ago. Kudos to them. But their plan was to have it running slow Sydney double deckers, not 100 km/h metro trains. Thank goodness the Libs got in and Gladys became transport minister, and we ended up with driverless Metro style trains. Far cheaper to run this type of system now as we don't have the train driver or the unnecessary bloke standing at the back of the train pushing a bell and opening and closing doors.

And 36 days until the bunch of scandal-plagued ICAC-botherers get kicked to the curb by the NSW voting public.

The Libs haven't even announced a candidate in my seat - the absolute deadline/declaration of election is Monday. That's how much of a shambles this mob is.

Also they can't even agree with each other on what they stand for or will or won't be doing:

Deny what the Libs have done for this state all you like. Did you even read the links I posted?
Beware the peril you wish for.

And, Terry Campese has walked away from Labor as a candidate for Monaro. His reason being that politics is not about what some can do for people. It's all about win at all costs. Well, go figure. That is true for both parties.

Minns just said on ABC News that it will be difficult to win without him. That's laughable, because whoever suggested he would have won his seat anyway?

Minns is a joke.

No-one's denying what they've done/built while in the ten years or so they've been presiding above the Departments and Senior Executives that actually plan this stuff to happen anyway, and while the world economy had been in a dream run...

Just like no-one should deny the sloppy culture that a government at the end of their time has undoubtedly developed. Time to cut the stink loose before they fully clog up ICAC and make Obeid look like a playground hustler. #stinkydominicout

And, even the left leaning ABC just promoted a story on the news regarding state govt funds being donated to get the Zig Zag railway up and running again, after the previous govt cut funds and left it in ruins for the past 12 years.
The current govt got it back up and running with the help of volunteers and a $5 million donation..
Who would have thunk it.

Anyway, vote for whoever you want to.
I swing between parties for whomever I think will represent me best. I don't just vote along party lines. That is just f**king dumb.

Peril? lol
Left leaning ABC? lol
Keep cheery picking to support your chosen swing - it's human nature to do so.

Even if our end results are different, I also think about who will represent me best before each election and each vote, and vote accordingly.

It just happens the party you think will represent you best this time is third on my list of who would represent me best this time - not even considering the rabble can't even muster up a potential candidate to try and represent my area in advance of the very last possible day.
