Yes but yet again development seems to be only on a noisy road! Requires windows shut, aircon on, lots of dirt and dust…. Could be facing a park instead with birdsong, fresher air and improved wellbeing… But planning and politics cannot see the obvious

Linda Reynolds must be feeling pretty stupid at the moment. Imagine that, trying to sue someone who the court has found to be a rape victim, whom she called a lying cow. What a nasty treacherous bully. Credit to all who’ve always stood with Brittany.

Now it’s time to look at Channel 7s behaviour, the unwavering support by writers at The Australian & any & all who engage in a “blinded by my pay-check” style of journalism. Also, keep your fingers crossed for Linda Reynolds to continue with her defo trial. They’re winners.

It's quite the ridiculous take Speers & the panel diluting Dutton's Port Arthur/Palestine remarks as merely 'clumsy & ill-advised'. Dutton's words were deliberate, divisive & brazen, straight from his manual of Trump tactics. So deeply insulting to Australians.

The grandeur of the largest in NSW - the superb Newcastle City Council Océan Baths.
Always a battle with maintenance given the exposure, some elements recently restored, others awaiting help.
The curved bleacher seating at the NE corner sublime.

I noticed smartly dressed security guard Faraz Tahir patrolling at Westfield when I was there before the slaughter began. The only man killed. A hero who gave his life trying to protect Eastern Suburbs shoppers. A refugee and Muslim hero of his faith. Rest In Peace.

Bust I cast in bronze of my grandfather John.
The bust of him had been made by a sculptor in plaster in the 1950’s.
At Sydney Univ workshops in early 80’s, not long after his death, I cast it in bronze. Using a latex mould, I could preserve plaster & have bronze head

It would be really good, truly respectful, for Westfield Bondi Junction to set up a fund to help the families of the victims. With a seriously big donation from the company. And boxes in the centre where the public could contribute. Please RT if you agree.

I seem to have missed your condemnation of Israel for bombing the Iranian embassy which killed 13 people. Zionist Israel's ongoing genocide against the people of Palestine also looks like it risks greater instability and devastation across the Middle East. IMO.

Strathfield Square by night;
Who said Australians don’t know how to use public space in a sociable way?
Need the opportunity, mix of street life & density, mix of ages & affordability.
& of course the diversity & city-living smarts that multiculturalism brings

So many older buildings, certainly also heritage-listed ones, can readily have vertical extensions, if well designed such as this former post office in Bondi.
Designed by .
No wasteful setbacks, build to the street alignment & straight up

Palestinian homes are being set on fire right now. But not in Gaza, in the village of Duma in the West Bank 🇵🇸

The West Bank is illegally occupied by Israel 🇮🇱. Bringing terror to Palestinians

It is state terrorism.

Where is The Hague?
Where is the international response.

One of these vehicles is seen as a symbol of an elitist lifestyle that imposes itself on society and takes away the freedom of others.

The other is a car.

Let’s follow Paris, which now has 25% public & affordable housing, up from 13% in late 90’s.
“Those who produce the riches of the city have the right to live in it”.
Even bakers get a mention as essential workers!

Incident at Bondi Junction Westfield.

Heard what sounded like gun shots when inside the centre and all ran out.

On North Bondi headland, up close to accelerating problem across view-obsessed affluent areas.
Older more affordable blocks with little or no parking being redeveloped into few huge upmarket dwellings.
Uplift won’t solve this, zoning needs reform to stop net drop on dwelling nos
