In the days leading up to the $3.4 billion collapse of the Bathla developer group, I got to ask the NSW Labor Building & Fair Trading Minister what the government was doing about it. Incredibly, here’s all he had to say.

Today I'm moving to establish an Upper House Inquiry into pokies 💪 People in NSW lose $1.1 mil to pokies each hour, &vit's time to shine a light on the impacts of gambling harm, money laundering, industry influence and failed reform in NSW. & examine what genuine harm minimisation could look like

It's not just the turtles in trouble. The Gwydir Wetlands should be teeming with life right now, including with more than 100 different bird species such as the endangered Australian Painted Snipe, one of the rarest birds in Australia. There may be just a few hundred Painted Snipes left in the wild.

You will not believe what I've just seen. Hundreds of turtles stuck in the mud of a wetland in NSW that should be full of water and teeming with life. And a small dedicated team of scientists doing their best to rescue them. This is happening right now!

Victorians and Tasmanians have been given free public transport by their governments, yet Chris Minns doesn’t think we need it in NSW. Given how expensive Sydney is that’s pretty crap I reckon. It’s time for free public transport in NSW too 🚍🚊⛴️

Ever since the horrific acts of brutality by NSW Police against peaceful protestors on Monday night, Chris Minns has backed their actions. This is very very disturbing. Here's (some of) what I said in Parliament about it.

Last night's obscene police violence in Sydney was reminiscent of what we're seeing from Trump's ICE operation in Minnesota. Yet just last week the Upper House passed a motion I moved expressing deep concerns about ICE's operations and the undermining of human rights in the US 🤔

It's heartbreaking and beyond frustrating to hear that more than 100,000 dead fish - bony bream - have been found washed up on the banks of Lake Menindee. Many more fish may have died, in this fish kill, the 7th major fish kill in the Darling Baaka/Menindee since 2018, and the second in a week.

When it comes to supporting new coal Labor is worse than the National Party was under John Barilaro. The worst bit? They pretend to care about climate.

Western NSW could hit 50°C today. Weather records are tumbling across the country. People, wildlife, livestock are dying. Livelihoods wiped out. Weather related disasters from an unstable climate are making things cost more. Yet Labor keeps adding fuel to the fire by approving new coal & gas 🤯

The Govt likes to tell us that the assessment process for mines and other major projects helps ensure health and environmental impacts are avoided or minimised. But what happens when information about serious impacts are deliberately suppressed? That's what's happening with lead mining in NSW 🤬🤯

For more than two decades a legal loophole has allowed more than 670 pubs and clubs with pokies to keep them open at varying times between 4am to 10am despite the law saying they need to be shutdown at this time to reduce harm.
