Former MLC Shayne Mallard was present for today's apology, and 40 years ago when, Premier Neville Wran and then Opposition Leader Nick Greiner passed the decriminalisation legislation.

Proud to support the NSW Parliament's formal apology to those who were convicted for homosexual acts. It is inconceivable to us today that until 1984 homosexuality carried a prison sentence of up to 14 years. To all those who suffered, we are truly sorry. #NSWPol

Costello should be proud of this record. Best Treasurer we've had, never Keating-style blew up party for personal ambition. Future Fund saved taxpayers $10b+ through out-performance during his tenure. Non-interfering chair of Nine who goes with dignity, after a brain fade.

Another good option would be Peter Costello doing an Amanda Stoker and switching from Federal to state politics. As Victorian Liberal leader, reckon he would beat Jacinta Allan in 2026. With no remaining corporate gigs, his diary is clear and he's 15 years younger than Joe Biden.

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more

Noting no one commends the Liberals for their founding right to ‘cross the floor’ on issues of policy or conscience. Hasn’t weakened strong party governments of the day #auspol smh.com.au/politics/feder…

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best

The Simpsons are never wrong.

Time for NSW govt to investigate building automatic gates on our railway platforms - no more tragedies! #nswpol

Extending Sydney’s light rail along Broadway, supporting start-ups, enhancing the night-time economy and accelerating the transition to greener industries are all part of a 10-year plan by the City of Sydney to boost the city’s prosperity. smh.com.au/politics/nsw/l…

NSW Drug Summit The summit will be held in Sydney on December 4 and 5, as well as Griffith and Lismore in November.

Then Justice Sackar and team's magnificent work - brilliant investigation, examination, compassion & recommendations. The work of politicians Shayne Mallard & Penny Sharpe was instrumental in getting all this happening. Now for delivery..this impacts on many cold cases.

Remembering a dear friend, the always late Graham Chapman. He ceased to be 35 years ago today.
