"Old Parramatta Gaol opened in 1842 as a final bid to build a jail in Sydney's west, after previous attempts were either burnt down or poorly constructed.

"It would eventually become the state's principal manufacturing jail, with prisoners making and supplying clothing, boots, food, and other products across New South Wales.

"The medium-security facility housed thousands of prisoners over its operation, incarcerating infamous criminals such as prison escapee Darcy Dugan and underworld figure Neddy Smith."
...
"In 2011, the state government decommissioned the jail after changes to bail laws lowered prison population demands.

"Five years later, Deerrubbin Land Council won it back in a successful land claim and has owned the jail ever since.
...
"In 2021, the land council lodged a development application to Parramatta City Council to host music festivals, markets, educational seminars and weddings.

"However, the application was rejected due to planning policy noncompliance and concerns surrounding heritage impacts and transport accessibility."

I think the idea of opening up Old Parramatta Gaol as a museum is a fantastic idea.

Parramatta was the first European inland settlement in Australia.

There's a lot of colonial history in the area, from Old Government House, to the Female Factory, to James Ruse's farmhouse.

Old Parramatta Gaol is an important part of that history.

It should be restored, under the ownership of the local land council, and be opened up to the public.

Raf Epstein correctly remembers the media running around like headless chickens over Labor's rejigged Stage 3 Tax cuts, branding them a broken promise.

Samantha Maiden forgets?

Maiden, News 2024: "refusing to concede he was preparing to break a key election promise."

‘From early suggestions that the Trump administration would rein in Netanyahu’s military ambitions, it now appears that the Israeli PM has manoeuvred the US into striking Iranian uranium enrichment sites directly after a series of military attacks that Washington was unable to deter the Israeli PM from.’

Australia will contribute* to American aggression in the Middle East not because it is the right thing to do but for other more pragmatic reasons.

1-Australia must show fealty to America as it is our ‘close ally’.
2-America will be watching to see if we become part of a coalition of the willing, and if we don’t AUKUS will never deliver but will continue to cost Australia.
3-The ADF leaders will demand to participate, because war is why the ADF, and its personnel, exist

*more than our not talked about ‘secret’ installations and USA troop hosting.

I find it amazing that a bunch of different #USA Presidents over the years have all been completely played by #Netanyahu.

It is seriously becoming a case of ‘it doesn’t matter who you vote for, you still get Netanyahu calling the shots’.

#Trump may tell himself that he is in charge and the ‘king of the world’, but in reality he just does what Netanyahu tells him to do. Or, what #Putin tells him to do.

Trump is a truely pathetic pushover who bullies those he can while doing whatever his masters want.
