Should be an interesting 4 Corners, and goes to what NSW Police did during the anti-Herzog rally.

The abuses, the assaults were all caught on camera, and broadcast to the world.

What you don't see is this stuff normally. The assaults while in custody, the illegal arrests, the collusion between NSW Police officers, and the LECC does nothing to stop it.

The LECC just gives them a green light by helping cover up serious misconduct:

A police assault put a man in the ICU. Then came the cover-up

Watch the cookers stay silent on this one.

Apparently power lines fucking shit up only matters when it's on someone else's land, and they're paying rent.

Destroying Indigenous cultural sites, not a peep:

So I’m curious, @[email protected], how does a local community hub counter all of the above, which is a very long and well funded list ? #renewables #NSWPol
Building a whole new suburb, and then waiting more than 10 years to give it a half-hourly bus service, is a massive planning stuff-up.

And even then, half hourly service is really inadequate if you want people to switch from cars to public transport. It should be no more than 10 minutes all day:

"As residents moved into the 966 new lots of Campbelltown housing development Macarthur Heights from 2013, it felt like their new suburb had it all.

"The 122 hectare site, established by NSW government developer Landcom, had clean paths, playgrounds, barbecues, shops and even a university campus. But one thing was missing: public transport to get residents between them all.

"But things will change in July, when Transport for NSW and private bus operator Transit Systems begin running the 849 route, moving between Macarthur railway station and Macarthur Square, Campbelltown TAFE, Campbelltown Hospital and the Western Sydney University campus. It will run every 30 minutes from 6am to 10pm daily."

This new Sydney suburb almost had it all – but spent more than a decade waiting for one thing

It’s taken 13 years and 450 desperate residents to finally get Macarthur Heights a bus.

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.

Looks like there a plan to extend the Bankstown metro line to Bankstown Airport, and then redevelop the land for housing.

The idea is that flights to/from Bankstown would then be shifted to Western Sydney Airport.

@NewtonMark you're far more across plane stuff I am, I'm very keen to hear your thoughts?
