This is the 2nd large environmental crime in North Sydney in a matter of months after 265 trees were destroyed in HD Robb Reserve in Castle Cove earlier this year 🧵

Devastated to learn of the illegal destruction of nearly 300 trees on public land next to harbour front homes in Longueville. Read more here ‘Outrageous’ tree vandalism devastates harbourside suburb in Sydney 🧵 theguardian.com/australia-news…

NSW is to lose a seat before the next Federal Election. The number of electorates will be reduced from 47 to 46 and the seat of North Sydney could disappear. There must be a quota in every electorate, and the North Sydney Electorate is under quota.

#NorthSydney & #Benelong electorates united on this- such a fantastic electoral boundary walk this afternoon with plenty of positivity from both those walking & those driving, or passing, by. #togetherwecan #letsdothis #turningup #NorthSydney #Benelong #TheVoice Jerome Laxale MP

Labor and the Coalition voted against including the housing needs of rural and regional Australia in the Housing Australia Future Fund.

Really interesting conversation on #QandA last night. Can’t help but think if the conversations in APH were more like this we’d be getting a lot further a lot faster. Well done Patricia Karvelas Yasmin Poole Barry O'Farrell Senator Murray Watt Kevin Hogan MP

Here’s the motion that Kylea Tink MP moved - a very sensible and important public policy proposition! 2/2 #auspol

.Kylea Tink MP has just delivered a powerful speech in the Federation Chamber calling on Mark Dreyfus to stop the prosecutions of Richard D Boyle and David McBride. Unfortunately she seems to be directing her words at an Attorney-General tone deaf to public interest 1/2 #auspol

The standard we walk past is the standard we accept. This is not about just one person’s behaviour - it’s about wanting to see a systemic reset. To hear this morning that some are saying it “just is what it is” … well I’m not going to stop calling it out. #expectbetter #auspol

Did you receive a postal vote application in the mail? If you send the completed form to the ‘Processing Centre’, the Liberal Party gets your data. If you don’t want to give your birthdate/phone/email to a political party (Privacy Act doesn’t apply!) apply via AEC instead #auspol

Brilliant idea Kylea Tink MP
Great to see newDemocracy helping
This = massive value of independents: develop & advocate policies without party baggage, motivated only by what informed citizens want to see

Got to be good for re-election too - constituents will ❤️ it

There’s more than 2,000 unfilled teaching positions in the state. Urgent action is needed on unsustainable workloads & uncompetitive pay. The Premier must #HonourTheDeal

Investing in education is investing in our future. At all levels, teachers are the key to our success. Makes no sense that Minns govt is not delivering what was promised to teachers. We all lose out #nswpol #HonourTheDeal

Increased focus on perpetrator intervention; not only holding male perpetrators to account through the law, but also intervention through behavioural programs.
And Improved justice responses across police departments and courts. #auspol

Nth Sydney can claim a few wins among the Government’s plan to tackle DV revealed today- including the integrated and co-ordinated response across all levels of Government and services.
Also improved access to housing for victims, support for women to stay safe in their own homes

'Good people have to stand up'. Thank you Helen Dalton MP Tim Costello and Kate Seselja for your bravery, insights and unrelenting work in helping make pokie reform happen.
