#AngusTaylor & the forged document mystery: ‘It took us about 30 seconds to realise it was a fake’

When then minister Taylor tried to ‘pour a bucket of dirt’ over Sydney lord mayor #CloverMoore, he ended up with mud all over himself.

“Fantastic. Great move.
Well done Angus” - Angus Taylor #auspol #LeadershipSpill

Lol. A fn dove? 

I swear, I'm often convinced our institutional leaders are 💯% dumbass.

"The #Sydney Harbour Bridge will be lit up with a #menorah in tribute to the 15 victims of the #Bondi #terrorattack, as council makes a last minute change to the #NewYearsEve tribute.

The initial plan for the tribute, made in consultation with the #JewishBoardofDeputies, was to light up the bridge with the image of a dove and the word “peace."

That changed on Monday after more than 30 #Jewish-#Australian #creatives wrote a letter to #LordMayor #CloverMoore urging her to project a “Jewish-specific symbol” onto the bridge."

@franksting In fairness, Cover Moore's big dream is to basically bulldoze the whole block between Sydney Town Hall and Gadigal Station, for a new city square:

"Town Hall Square will be the next stage in the transformation of Central Sydney.

"With plenty of trees and seats it will be a place to sit on a weekday lunch break, home to large scale events and gatherings like festivals, markets and celebrations, and a meeting spot as well-known as the Sydney Town Hall steps.

"Framed by Pitt, George and Park streets, the future square is key to the City of Sydney’s long-term vision of a city centre with plenty of space for people to walk, cycle and gather.

"The area between St Andrew’s Cathedral and Sydney Town Hall is also is set for a $35 million upgrade with new paving, furniture and lighting."

We’re creating a new public square in the heart of the city opposite Sydney Town Hall.

“Incoming roads minister John Graham has announced a wide-ranging review of Sydney's toll network. I think they should actively consider a more efficient system in the CBD: ✅ Remove the toll on the Cross City Tunnel; and ✅ Introduce a CBD congestion charge.”
