Sprawl
"Building close to bushland could be putting Australians at risk as the threat of extreme bushfires increases. Why does sprawl continue in Australia?"

“We’re getting these huge, big one-storey pancake houses, dark roofs, no backyard, no front yard, no tree canopy, no shade, and the planning system is allowing this."

“There's still a very colonial view of sort of conquering the environment, rather than living and working and treasuring the environment."

Neutral = lacking an indigenous population?

NSW council votes to stop flying Indigenous flags and enforce permissions for Welcome to Country abc.net.au/news/2025-12-04/abo

Based on this and the Israeli usage of the word "neutralize"

On Tuesday, a man in his 30s riding a Lime e-bike, motor-limited to 25km/h, was struck by a 28-year-old man driving a garbage truck at Little Regent Street and Broadway, Ultimo – and died at the scene. This is a legal e-bike - so why did the man die?

Why aren’t the media calling for safety improvements to Broadway – an 8 to 9 lane dual-carriageway TfNSW-controlled state road without any bike lanes?

"In what former #Australasian Union of #Jewish Students (#AUJS) national vice-president Zac Morris described as “an incredibly welcome shift of sentiment”, a motion he co-wrote with Tanna Klevansky was unanimously passed at last weekend’s #NSW #YoungLaborconference, to implement a six-point plan to tackle #antisemitism.

Key actions will include establishing a cross-factional Jewish Working Group to advise the executive on matters relating to antisemitism, inclusion and representation; and hosting an annual NSW Young Labor #Shabbat dinner to promote greater understanding."

These photos aren't a special Vivid-style festival. They're an ordinary evening.

Not one of the media articles on the death of a man in his 30s riding a (legal, 25km/h limited) Lime bike in Ultimo () today mentions the lack of a safe separated bike lane along Broadway / Parramatta Road / George Street.

Not a single one of the articles, from AAP, ABC, The Guardian, SMH, 9 News, Sunrise, News.com.au, The Daily Telegraph, Sky News, The Daily Mail, or The Nightly. Some even detail traffic delays.
