Julia Gillard’s kitchen renovations were subjected to a Royal Commision into corruption.
The inquiry found nothing, but kept the spotlight on unions for months.
It was led by Dyson Heydon, KC, formerly AC, disgraced former judge and the subject of multiple independent allegations of sexual misconduct, and appointed by, you guessed it, the Howard Liberal government.

Now Premier Perrottet insists he called his Health Minister, who is a *lawyer*, for “health advice”, and the minister insists he just happened to be in the room with the head of the ambulance service, who personally intervened to arrange a dispatch for the Premier’s wife. Nothing to see here. No kitchen involved.

I think that meets the Liberal’s low bar for a Royal Commission… or maybe ICAC?

SMH: Refurbishment plans for Barangaroo Cutaway go on display in face of backlash

> Plans to turn the cavernous concrete shell of the Cutaway at Barangaroo into an exhibition hall have quietly gone on public exhibition as the Perrottet government presses ahead with its vision for the subterranean space without a national Indigenous centre despite criticism from Aboriginal leaders.

‘The entire #Sydney rail network went down this afternoon, causing transport chaos for millions. The cause was the failure of a digital communications system (the Digital Train Radio System).

I've seen comments online from someone claiming to work at #SydneyRail that responsibility for DTRS has recently been privatised by the #Coalition NSW state government under Premier #Perrottet.

Can anyone clarify?

In the debate today between #Minns & #Perrottet... Chris Minns said.... he admired how both @GladysB & @Dom_Perrottet had followed the science and listened to Dr Kerry Chant CHO with regard to the COVID pandemic. 🤦‍♂️

The #Perrottet government will use land that has already been bought with public funds and put aside for conservation to offset yet more clearing of endangered bushland for new #housing developments in western Sydney. #nswvotes
