Chris "the Philistine" Minns strikes again.

One of Australia's leading professional vocal ensembles is closing, because the NSW Premier was unwilling to chip in $190,000 to keep it afloat.

Seems playing the role of a fiscal conservative on right-wing talkback radio stations is more important than the arts.

And he has form in this area.

He previously threatened to end funding for regional galleries.

He's already said he'll cut public art at stations on the Western Sydney Metro line to save a few thousand dollars on a multi-billion-dollar project.

And now this.

Minns has consistently been to the right of Gladys, instead of on the side of the wage earners of NSW.

"Established in 1984, The Song Company has long struggled to remain viable.

"It entered voluntary receivership in 2019, and a source familiar with the matter said it was unsuccessful in its application for a two-year funding from Create NSW in 2025. Observers in the music sector say The Song Company is the canary in the coal mine, and other ensembles are living hand to mouth.

"The announcement also comes two weeks before the Australian Design Centre finally closes its doors after 60 years, having not received sufficient federal and state funding to continue operating.

"About 25 per cent of The Song Company’s revenue came from government funding. In the 2024 calendar year, it received $190,000 from the NSW government, according to its latest financial report – a significant bump after receiving $114,000 in calendar year 2023."

‘Deeply disappointing’: Arts company folds after more than four decades

The board of the Sydney-based institution said on Wednesday that it had appointed a liquidator after considering its long-term financial sustainability.

Open letter calling for the NSW government to drop all charges against the anti-Herzog protesters targeted by NSW Police based on an unconstitutional law, in the context of the most widespread instance of street violence by NSW Police since at least 1978. Note that the list of signatories is headed by a number of individuals who survived that homophobic/transphobic violence back in 1978 and who help connect the dots to the police violence seen around Town Hall on the evening on 9th Feb 2026 that was directed against thousands of people who had gathered to peacefully protest against the ongoing complicity of NSW/Australian governments in the #GazaGenocide.

Police actions on that evening are allegedly under current investigation by the (often toothless) police watchdog known as LECC (not being officially investigated: the prior actions of the Minns government in setting the stage for that night's shameful display of police brutality). Yet prosecutions against a small number of protesters are apparently still going ahead, despite the NSW Supreme Court having already ruled that the primary legislation shaping the police response was itself unconstitutional.

Please read and consider signing, especially if you're in NSW.

"Drop the charges against Herzog protestors" - Call from Advocates and Civil Society Organisations

Open Letter to the NSW Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Police, and Commissioner of Police 1 June 2026 We, the undersigned, call on the government to immediately drop all the charges against people protesting against the visit of the President of Israel on 9 February 2026 on the basis that all charges are a direct consequence of unlawful conduct by the police. The scenes of peaceful protest being met with police brutality at Town Hall on 9 February 2026 remain at the forefront of our minds. Protestors were punched, dragged out, and indiscriminately pepper sprayed. Peaceful worshippers were attacked, as were protestors trying to leave. Horses and police officers charged into the crowd, while kettling and other unsafe crowd control tactics left protestors with broken bones and battered bodies. These are not scenes that belong on our streets. Dozens of protestors, exercising a fundamental civil right to voice their opposition by peaceful protest to the visit to Australia of a foreign Head of State, the representative of a State committing a genocide [1] on the Palestinian people, are now being subjected to further oppression by the government in facing criminal proceedings. This was the tragic and unnecessary sequel to the 1978 Mardi Gras - another shameful moment in the history of policing and protest in this country. Just like those arrested and charged for participating in the 1978 Mardi Gras, the charges against protestors at the Herzog rally cannot stand. The violence at Town Hall on 9 February 2026 was first and foremost a direct consequence of unconstitutional law-making [2]. The invalid Public Assembly Restriction Declaration (PARD) scheme was central to the policing approach that evening. It is impossible to disentangle the consequences - whether by way of a failure to comply with a move on order, resisting an officer or responding physically to police use of force - from the police enforcement of the PARD and it would be disingenuous to attempt to do so. The protest was in fact "authorised" under the Summary Offences Act 1988 [3]. The NSW Police were warned of this fact before the protest in writing by the organisers. Police should not have interfered with protestors seeking to march on the road to Parliament House. The police conduct in doing so cannot be justified by law. It was a procession protected under the Summary Offences Act scheme. The existence of a declaration under the Major Events Act 2009 has been referred to as an independent basis upon which to maintain charges. This is misconceived [4]. In any event, the lawfulness of using the Major Events Act powers in these circumstances is highly contested and the provisions are significantly constitutionally vulnerable. They should not be used as a basis for substantiating or maintaining any of the charges. The response by police was not a proportionate reaction to spontaneous public disorder. It was a pre-emptive enforcement strategy directed at stopping and interfering with a peaceful political assembly and procession and motivated by political considerations. In New South Wales, evidence obtained in consequence of unlawful or improper conduct is presumed inadmissible [5]. All of the evidence in relation to the protest is tainted by the unlawful and improper use of powers by police. An intransigent perseverance with the charges will lead to failed prosecutions, large costs orders against the State and further harm to protestors. These charges are being maintained by the NSW Police Prosecution Service. A police prosecutor, employed by the NSW Police Force, who is not independent of the police command in which orders and decisions were made at the Herzog protest, cannot, and cannot be seen to, appropriately discharge the function of an independent, impartial and fair prosecutor. Their role in these proceedings is attended by a conflict of interest. Public confidence in the police and the administration of justice generally has been undermined by the way in which police acted at the Herzog rally and this is only compounded by the maintenance of criminal proceedings by the police against protestors. We call on the government to immediately drop all the charges against people protesting on 9 February 2026. In the event that call is not heeded, we further call on the NSW Police Force to immediately transfer all prosecutions to the Director of Public Prosecutions. [1] A UN Commission of Inquiry, a UN Special Committee of Experts, Al-Haq, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, B’Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights Israel, the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights, Médecins Sans Frontières, the International Federation for Human Rights, and the International Association of Genocide Scholars have concluded that Israel has committed the crime of genocide in Gaza. [2] Jarrett v State of New South Wales [2026] NSWCA 62. [3] It was an "authorised public assembly" under the Summary Offences Act 1988 because a Form 1 had been properly submitted by organisers more than 7 days before the protest took place and no "prohibition" order had been obtained from the Supreme Court. [4] The Major Events Declaration was enacted and applied on the erroneous basis the PARD laws were valid and the powers exercised under the Major Events Declaration likely legally miscarried as a consequence.

Not much in msm about the 1st Transitioning Conference in Santa Marta, Columbia. SO here is my last toot for the day (promisse).

“Still, Australia did sign the Belém Declaration. We are very good at agreeing to things, though not so good at doing them…So with that in mind, the real question is always what Australia does when it gets home. Apparently, what we do is open new gas exploration tenders.”

Through the fossil fuel looking glass: from Santa Marta to Australia

Coming back from Santa Marta, where nations were planning a fossil fuel phase-out, to the Australia of new gas permits and Japan’s gas-fired diplomatic arm-twisting, is like stepping backward through the looking glass.

“…alas, the NSW Premier Chris Minns has now reached the Joe Hockey level of economic ignorance.” (Source: The Point)

I’ve never been a fan of #ChrisMinns, even back when I was a #Labor party member. I don’t like him at the best of times because he peddles the #NeoLiberal lies about economic prosperity and doesn’t appear to be clever enough to head a govt, even a State one at that. You’ll forgive me if I’m dismissive, but #Minns ‘ past performance, including his latest #Authoritarian attitudes, in what is a fast changing society, is reflected in knee-jerk reactionary policies and rammed-through legislation which proved to be #Unconstitutional. The man is not too bright from a social licence perspective. He is also #Captured by anti-social interests.

#AusPol #NSW #TaxReform

Factcheck: On tax, Chris Minns does his best Joe Hockey impression and it's not pretty

Can you be as bad as Joe Hockey, who said poor people don’t drive, and suggested that the solution to the housing crisis was for young people to get a good job that pays money? Well, alas, the NSW Premier Chris Minns has now reached the Joe Hockey level of economic ignorance.

‘Not a good look’: witnesses refuse to appear before NSW parliamentary hearings after court ruling

Chris Minns’ chief of staff launched legal action to avoid giving evidence. Since the court ruled in his favour, others are doing the same

@ketanjoshi.co
#ChrisMinns is a huge disappointment to #Labor voters. He exhibits a Neoliberalism mindset better suited to a #liberal. Where to now Australians? Had enough of this BS yet? Time to make some noise lest we do the #Merikan thing and let apathy take over until #MAGA piss heads rule the roost! It will be too late then peeps.

After blows to his anti-protest laws, Minns considers retreat from ‘globalise the intifada’ ban https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/apr/28/nsw-anti-protest-laws-globalise-intifada-minns-ntwnfb #NewSouthWalesPolitics #AustraliaNews #ChrisMinns #NewSouthWales #BondiBeachTerrorAttack #FreedomOfSpeech #QueenslandPolitics #Protest #Antisemitism

After blows to his anti-protest laws, Minns considers retreat from ‘globalise the intifada’ ban

NSW premier was unequivocal about ban on ‘hateful, violent rhetoric’ in wake of Bondi terror attack, but has now linked fate of his state’s laws with those of Queensland
