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.

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.

And it isn't because of a lack of rainfall. It's because the NSW Government stopped sending environmental water flows to the wetland a month ago - during breeding season - because a big cotton irrigator downstream has threatened to sue them if water was released and went onto his land 🤯

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 🤔

Mass fish kills occur mainly during heatwaves and droughts. They are becoming more frequent as our climate becomes more unstable. That's why we need to be doing much more to safeguard our rivers if they're to support life and livelihoods in the decades ahead.

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.

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 🤯
