These banners are up around Leichhardt Oval today for the last game of 2022. For a small fraction of the $300 mill has funnelled to Penrith Stadium we can secure the future of Leichhardt Oval for decades to come.

It’s almost 5 years since we overturned the ban on dogs in pubs in the Inner West and everyone can see now that companion animals only add to the enjoyment of our unique pub culture. It’s been a paw-some move 🐾 🍺

3 years since we opened the magnificent Marrickville Library. Recently named as one of the 5 best public libraries on earth, this institution is the beating heart of Marrickville Road and the new town square of the community 📚

Approaching this evening with mixed feelings: my swansong at the ABC after 55+ yrs. But what a treat: I’m presenting the Aust World Orchestra concert from the Opera House live @ABCClassic It will be a very satisfying ending to what has been an amazing career in the ABC family.

Here’s a ticket with ’s name on it for the last game of the year this Sunday at Leichhardt Oval. Premier, come & hear from the fans about why $300 mill for Penrith Stadium and $0 for Leichhardt is just not fair.

“Save Leichhardt Oval - Fair funding now” - we have just hung these banners up around the 8th wonder of the world for this Sunday’s last Wests Tigers game of the season. , the $300 mill you’ve given to Stuart Ayres Stadium must be fairly shared with our ground too.

This is so silly from the Opposition. ⁦⁩ doesn’t set NSW isolation rules, Perrottet does. PM tells Souths that Nat Cab might talk about it on Wednesday, and Perrottet has been vocal on reduction. Better call the CIA for an investigation. 🙄

Deputy Mayor Jess D'Arienzo brought the Dykes On Bikes Sydney to provide security for our Trans and Gender Diverse swim day at Enmore today. The bigots who tried to shut this project down will never win if we’ve got anything to say about it. Thanks Jess 🙏🏼 🏳️‍⚧️

The Inner West was the first Government in Australia to fly the South Sea Islander Flag (since 2018). This year we’ve been joined by the City of Sydney. From little things big things grow.

We recognise the many thousands of South Sea Islander descendants in Australia whose ancestors were stolen from their homelands and forced into indentured slavery here on sugar plantations and farms.

Pavarotti & Dame Joan Sutherland. One of the 5000 photos, documenting the history of Italians in Australia, that La Fiamma today donated to the Inner West. We’ll catalogue this treasure trove and then exhibit the best shots at this year’s Norton Street Italian Festa.

It’s always a pleasure to open a new EV charging station But we have a lot more to do. The ⁦⁩ Govt is partnering with ⁦⁩ to roll out an EV fast charger once every 150 kms. Because we want Australians wherever they live to be able to consider getting an EV

So proud of Soot. He is a humble but proud Shire man, with very few skills, but a passion for Sharks, hardware stores & Maccas. He made it to the nation’s top job. Once on that pinnacle he took in the view & realised he could do everybody’s job as well. Humbled but proud. #auspol
