How much profit is enough? I ask in the The Sydney Morning Herald smh.com.au/national/when-…

Complaining about an “unusual triangular street layout”, I write in the @SMH, is like questioning the price of jousting sticks. It’s absurd. Worse, it’s insulting in a housing crisis demanding honesty over fairness. smh.com.au/national/nsw/m… #NSWpol #HousingCrisis #westernsydney

A really important discussion on equity in the Accord uni reforms, the NDIS and emissions reduction on ABC The Drum Always original and provocative!

The Accord university reforms are about fairness, I tell the ABC. With equity sliding at some of our best resourced universities, that is an urgent task. #auspol #universities youtu.be/QhSb9cqQJIU

Sporting success comes to players who best anticipate change, adapt, and secure advantage. Cities are no different. #nswpol #sydney #westernsydney
