Sydney commuters are facing massive delays this afternoon with over 800 train services cancelled for the rest of the day.
Commuters have a right to be frustrated and angry about the ongoing industrial chaos on our train network.
Commuters are sick of another day of cancelled trains, long delays, missed appointments and packed trains – all because the Minns Labor Government promised the world to union bosses before the election, can’t now meet inflated union expectations and has failed to resolve this dispute. ...

Please move a motion of no confidence in this government when Parliament next sits.
This has been going on for months now. What’s taking so long to get an agreement signed off?
Can you do something to this chaos? NSW labor is shamable!!
I really hope you get the keys to the office in 2027
Chris MinnsNSW Nurses are STILL waiting at the table 3 years later for promised “negotiations in good faith” for you to fix the Public Health Crisis that YOU CREATED! NSW Nurses deserve PROPER WAGES like the rest of Australia GET, that's ALL they are requesting to stay in NSW! You pay them a disgusting 2008 wage in the most expensive state during a cost of living crisis.over 30% less then other states. NSW Labor DONT CARE ABOUT THE LIVES OF ANYONE IN NSW.

Metro the winner
This used to happen every week when the libs were in power. I'm not sure why you're posting this
Mark, don't gaslight - you know the $4500 bonus causing the issue now, was promised by the Libs as a ONE OFF in the last agreement. The unions are now trying to use that as additional leverage when it was never part of the new agreement. Nothing to do with Labour promising anything. And let's not forget the absolute shambles that Libs Minister Elliot presided over in regards to the unions in the last Liberal government. These issues occur in all governments.

Antisemitic attacks aren’t just an assault on Jewish Australians—they’re an assault on the very idea of a harmonious, inclusive society. If any group feels unsafe, the integrity of our social cohesion is at risk.
If we aspire to be peacemakers, we must embody these values here at home, in our workplaces and in our schools. Social harmony is not a passive state. It requires active effort, education, resources and courage. It requires political leaders, religious leaders, educators, and community organisations to work together in combating hate. It requires action and leadership from all of us.
That’s why, along with my parliamentary statement on antisemitism in Parliament today, the NSW Opposition gave notice of motion that we will introduce two Private Members Bills to Parliament.
The Crimes Amendment (Display of Nazi and Terrorist Symbols) Bill 2025 will create a new offence for knowingly displaying symbols associated with terrorist organisations, alongside increasing penalties for the public display of Nazi symbols.
The Summary Offences Amendment (Public Assemblies Bill) 2025 introduces new measures to regulate public protests, including ensuring that serial protest organisers can be required to pay some or all of the cost of policing. ... See MoreSee Less

Totally support this legislation. As a minimum.
Well said. As a gay man who chaired the gay hate parliamentary inquiries we know all too well the dangers of hate and prejudice unchecked by society.
Thank you this it's so true and the government must do something and when these haters are caught they must be subjected to the full length of the law and not a slap on the wrist they must spend a lengthy time in jail and no good behaviour to given to them it will be the only way they will learn
These laws need to protect all groups- race, religious, LGBT.
The irony. Approximately 2025 years ago a Roman official called Pontius Pilate sentenced Jesus Christ to death for blasphemy, whilst pardoning a common criminal. In this year we have at both the Federal and State level, governments creating laws criminalising hate speech (Blasphemy Laws). We also see governments prioritising the punishment of these blasphemy laws compared to common law (Mandatory Sentences). The real irony is that this is occurring leading up to Easter. A time when as Christians, we should be reflecting on the suffering and death of Jesus Christ, also the rising of Jesus from his tomb and his assent into Heaven. Unfortunately, what we are seeing is a government recreating the same laws that lead to Jesus’ death. Our political leaders should be ashamed of themselves. Both Labor and Coalition. Shame on you.
Two NSW Health, taxpayer funded nurses. No one should be surprised. We have a WEAK Federal and State Labor government. These two would not be the only 'sleepers' in our country waiting to act for their 'cause'. This morning a video has emerged of the male nurse involved, preaching at a Sydney mosque, a lecture on Martyrdom. Before you blame the LNP, the male was granted citizenship in 2020 because he had lived here since 12, and didn't have a criminal record. Why would he have been rejected citizenship as an adult in 2020? On what grounds? Can you think of any? Regardless of who was in government, he would have had his citizenship approved. Regardless of being granted citizenship or not, he would still be living here, and working as a nurse. The Labor government has overseen a history of lax policies on immigration, and inaction over antisemitism in our country. Look at the inaction by the Labor government in relation to the rally on the steps of the Opera House after the Genocidal attacks in Israel on 07.10.23. It was a celebration of these abhorrent genocidal attacks, yelling hate towards the Jewish community . THIS IS WHERE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THIS HATE BEHAVIOUR. THE BEHAVIOUR YOU WALK AWAY FROM IS THE BEHAVIOUR YOU ACCEPT! The inaction that day by the Labor government, has resulted in exactly where we are today. Also Albo taking FIVE days before he headed to the firebombing of a Synagogue in Melbourne. He was too busy electioneering in WA, where he boasted he has visited 28 times since he was elected. He was too busy electioneering, attending lavish Labor fundraiser in Perth, probably back to drinking that $500 a bottle wine, and playing tennis.... There is hate being preached in some universities, some schools and some mosques, day after day. Look at the inaction by the Labor government in relation to the pro Palestinian 'camps' intimidating and spreading hate towards the Jewish students and teachers at Sydney University for months on end, even storming a classroom with a Jewish lecture conducting a class. Look at the inaction by the Labor government in relation to the Pro-Palestinian protests which are costing taxpayers millions of dollars to monitor. Still being held in Melbourne and Sydney every Sunday since October 2023. Our national terrorism threat level is now PROBABLE under Labor. Our country will decline to a Middle-Eastern terrorist torn country under the inaction by these dysfunctional weak Labor governments. Spuddle Albo AKA Mr. Spuddle. SPUDDLE - 17th century verb - meaning to be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing. "The greatest enemy of the Left is reality." ~ Sir Roger Scruton.

Don’t vote for the major party’s. Remember their wreckless indifference to locking you down for two years. That is their real attitude towards you.
Looks like two bills that will criminalise freedom of speech to me. Question, who decides who the terrorists are? How many babies and children do the zionists have to kill, before they become the terrorists? interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2024/israel-war-on-gaza-10000-children-killed/ Serial protest organisers? That’s not referring to the people protesting the genocide in Gaza every Sunday, is it Mark?

Thanks Mark and to all the Members of the Shadow Cabinet for coming out to our local area today, and thank you for listening to our local community’s views and issues.
Padstow, always been a wonderful suburb of Sydney
Cost of living took a nose dive following the lockdowns the Liberal party forced on us. Don’t forget this terrible tragedy and exercise in government overreach.
Congratulations to Jordan Mailata who is the first Aussie to play in and win a Super Bowl, helping the Philadelphia Eagles to a dominant Super Bowl win over Kansas City Chiefs.

Super Bowl LIX is about to kick off at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans – The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles – a repeat of the 2023 Super Bowl – which Kansas City won.
We’re all behind western Sydney superstar Jordan Mailata and hoping his team, the Philadelphia Eagles, win this year’s Superbowl. If they do, Jordan will be the first Aussie born NFL player to win a Superbowl. Good luck Jordan and Go the Eagles.

It's looking really good for the Eagles 🫰🦅🏈
Can you get Chris Minns to explain why he used $16M in taxpayer funds to bring UFC to Sydney which normalises violence not to mention the promoter Dana White has been filmed slapping his wife in public. With domestic violence rates through the roof, how can the current premier promote and glorify this type of fighting. Do you really think this is okay?
