Looks like he's trying to sink this.

Continuing to carry out lethal policy in the face of evidence is not functionally different to pollies randomly selecting kids and strangling them to death. It is social murder.

Once again nsw is a late mover, earning out place as the least informed and most conservative state in Australia with flying colours.

ABC reports it as a "rampage". It is hijinks at best.

RIP to a real one.

I didn't know they'd been here in 2018..….

I thought maybe someone was marking cars that had been highlighted on Dashcam Owners Australia, but apparently not....

In short:

The NSW Liberals has backed down on legal threats over last week's council nominations blunder.

Close to 140 candidates will not be on the ballot for next month's local government elections.

The party admitted fault last week and sacked state director Richard Shields.

The NSW Liberals’ local government campaign is in complete disarray after the party missed the deadline to nominate candidates in several council areas, including Canterbury-Bankstown, Shoalhaven and Wollongong.

• In short: Scaffolding has fallen from a construction site onto a Sydney CBD street.
• A van was hit by the materials but a man inside the vehicle was not injured.
• What's next? Police are investigating the cause of the incident.

Unfortunately the guides I could find for Dixon Street (Chinatown) were ten years old and the places no longer exist, but I've heard there's a place somewhere upstairs in Dixon House Food Court with huge plates for average prices.

Outside of this and memories of the Town Hall classic 'Big Bite', I wouldn't know where to start.
