Origin Energy secured up to $450 million in potential taxpayer-backed support (via the NSW govt's underwriting deal to extend Eraring coal plant operations) — while raking in massive profits (around $1.5 billion underlying in recent years, often rounded up in commentary).
This is classic fallout from the privatisation of NSW's energy assets: sell off public infrastructure like Eraring in 2013 for a quick buck, then years later, when reliability's at risk during the energy transition, taxpayers end up backstopping a private giant's coal ops.
Local workers face job uncertainty in the shift from coal, communities lose out, and everyday Aussies foot the bill through subsidies or higher bills — all while shareholders pocket the gains.
Privatisation leaves workers & taxpayers holding the bag. Time to rethink handing essential services to profit-driven corporates.

For years, apartment dwellers have watched homeowners cash in on rooftop solar while their own roofs sat empty. Now, the NSW Government’s Solar for Apartment Residents (SoAR) Grant Program aims to change that. #nswpolitics #renewables #solarpower www.solardirectory.com.au/solar-direct...

@HardBeingGreen @Qldaah Brisbane’s move to make landlords get permits for Airbnb style rentals is a sensible step to ease housing pressure. Victoria already has similar measures, including a short stay levy and powers for apartment blocks to ban short term lets. But Australia’s most corporate captured state, NSW, where the property lobby calls the shots, will never risk upsetting its developer mates.

Post-pandemic, nightlife is growing faster in Western Sydney than in the east:

"Nightlife is growing significantly faster in Sydney’s west than in the east: spending on dining in the Parramatta district has risen by 71 per cent over the past five years.

"In Blacktown and south-west Sydney, spending has risen 44 and 43 per cent respectively over the same period, adjusted for inflation, while it has grown at 42 per cent in the Sydney CBD.
...
"The data, based on depersonalised transaction information from Visa and analysed by the Herald, underscores the momentum achieved by local councils and the state government’s work to reform the night-time economy but it also reveals the work yet to be done to allow more businesses to open at night.

"The data also shows that Sydney’s south-west and Parramatta regions recorded surges in in-person night-time transactions by 21 and 17 per cent respectively between 2019 and 2025, edging out the CBD and the eastern suburbs, which grew by 15 and 12 per cent."
...
"Walk down Parramatta’s Church Street on a Saturday night and you’ll see restaurants of every cuisine, shisha bars and dessert venues brimming with patrons.

"But it is not just Church Street: analysis of businesses open late into the night shows clusters of activity around the south side of Parramatta’s railway station and the popular Little India dining precinct in Harris Park."
