You can thank the @RTBUnion for depriving everyone of these trains, absolutely farcical stuff

SYDNEY | Was lucky to attend the launch party for Machine Hall tonight, Sydney’s newest events and live music venue at 183 Clarence St. The former substation is now a space capable of holding 400 people. Read more here: machinehall.ai

One of the biggest shifts in Australian culture is Melbourne and Sydney are breaking out of being a mid sized cities by global standards, into globally recognisable metropolises. Both now would be a top 10 American AND European Metro by the OECD's reckoning.

As a former Chief of Staff to a senior NSW minister, I can tell you it is incomprehensible that the Minister here would not be aware of what her DLO was doing…#nswpol @lachlan_kennedy
A NSW Transport Department employee appears to have broken rules about being politically neutral, with two senior bureaucrats giving evidence that they raised concerns six months ago | @lachlan_kennedy @johaylen @NSWLabor #nswpol

Who will the next Transport Minister be? I’d like to make a donation. – at Sydney, New South Wales
Jo Haylen received donation from Josh Murray and his wife before being awarded NSW transport secretary role that pays over $500,000/yr smh.com.au/politics/nsw/nsw-…

Great to see that the Gunyama metro station in Zetland rightly back on the agenda.
But we need more stops in 5+km between Hunter St & Zetland;
-interchange at St James
-Taylor Sq
-Cleveland St
-Young St
All high density areas with potential, with jobs, places & nightlife 🧵

70k people are waiting, trains aren’t running from olympic park after a major event and labor say their “high risk” appointment is qualified. #nswpol

A spectacular fail from NSW Transport tonight - no trains running for 100k people at Sydney Olympic Park
If there was ever proof Parra Light Stage 2 and Metro West were necessary it’s tonight
The Govt can stop their reviews now and save the public some $$

What a disgrace NSW Labor!
A sham recruitment process to get a Labor mate into the state’s top transport job costs taxpayers $125k. #sameoldlabor #nofreshstart #laborfailure #nswpol – at Sydney, New South Wales
#EXCLUSIVE: Tonight #9News can reveal how much the government willingly forked out to recruit one of Chris Minns' Labor mates to a high-ranking public service role. @lizziedaniels

First @johaylen vowed to cancel the Bankstown-Sydenham section of the Liberals’ City & Southwest Metro; “we will fight them”.
Now she’s “rescued” it from herself.
@johaylen needs to keep her word and confirm Labor will complete Metro West, already started by the Liberals. #nswpol

Chris Minns and Jo Haylen have announced that Labor are “rescuing” Sydney Metro City & Southwest - from themselves.
The only people looking to cancel infrastructure are Labor.
This is nothing but a stunt to distract from their plans to delay or cancel Sydney Metro West.

Sydney Metro Southwest will proceed:
- Chatswood to Sydenham will open July-October 2024
- Sydenham to Bankstown will only close once metro is reliable to Sydenham
- Sydenham to Bankstown closure for 12 months. Expected to open as a Metro July-October 2025 – at Sydney, New South Wales

Constance lays bare the terrible truth that NSW ALP Government transport policy is now dictated by the RTBU

Today I have written to all impacted Councils on the recent Sydney Metro West Project delay reports.
We will be meeting next Thursday to discuss this as a matter of urgency and to unify in our call for the NSW Government to recommit to the Sydney Metro West as soon as possible.

Minns’ Metro West charade is a betrayal of Labor’s reclaimed heartland:
