I'm in the Chamber now seeking the release of all the documents relating to the NSW Police Strike Force Wyndarra failed requests to travel to SA to interview the victim of alleged rape - the answers we've got to date just doesn't stack up #nswpol
Happy to report we've had unanimous support for this. I will stay on the case.
Strike Force Wyndarra was established to undertake the investigation on 4 March 2020.

Police in the strike force sought to travel to South Australia to speak to the complainant between Sunday 15 March to 18 March.
On 13 March 2020, two days before the travel was to happen, it was refused by Deputy Commissioner Hudson.

As at 13 March 2022 there had been only 17 Covid-19 cases in all of SA. The border was still open.
Yes 2020 not 2022

Regional Arts NSW say arts organisations in the regions have been particularly impacted by bushfires and COVID and ongoing drought - in September 2020 Govt announced ongoing funding would not be delivered
A real lack of engagement, collegiality or understanding of the sector from Create NSW - It appears to be understaffed, frequently restructured and has too much insecure work which leads to a lack of corporate knowledge and industry acumen
Even those in peak bodies don't have any understanding about how the funding is allocated, what the initial funding pool is, what the Minister's role is, how many grants are available etc.

Just spoke to @2SMNews and will be on @702Sydney at 7:45 talking about the Government’s dodgy grants - council grants and now bushfire grants horribly politicised and given to Coalition seats regardless of need
@2SMNews @702Sydney From 9.30am the inquiry into grants that I chair will be looking at Arts grants and how these have been unfairly allocated & created ridiculous application workloads for organisations #nswpol
@2SMNews @702Sydney You can watch this live here: parliament.nsw.gov.au/Pages/webcasts… We'll also try and live tweet what's happening. Also add next Monday to your diary: we'll have the Deputy Premier in the witness box.

The First Nations inquiry which is looking at deaths in custody starts now with our first set of witnesses - we're looking at death in custody, over-representation of First Nations people in the justice system and what needs to change #NSWpol

Watch live: parliament.nsw.gov.au/pages/macquari…
Hearing from the Bar Association that there are concerns that the system is focused on "reporting" and not "doing" - we also see COVID has reduced prisoner numbers in NSW so it clearly can be done, if there is political will
Now @NSWYoungLawyers raised concerns about the targeting of young people especially Aboriginal people through strip searches and the Suspect Target Management Program.

Another day in Parliament - another day keeping them honest. We'll start with the senior advisors in the Premier's office whose emails exposed that Gladys had signed off on more than $100 million in grant funding pork-barrelling Coalition seats before the 2019 election #nswpol Image
Then we'll be looking further into the need for independent funding for bodies like the ICAC and the Ombudsman to ensure the Government can't punish integrity agencies by cutting their budgets - this week alone shows just how necessary this is! Image
I am the Chair of the Committee undertaking both of these inquiries - we won't let them hide the truth!

If the NSW government refuses to legalise it, the least they could do is not enforce unfair penalties against people using medicinal cannabis or with minor traces of the drug in their system.
The government is rejecting the Greens amendment for medicinal cannabis to be a defence for the offence of drug driving.
Shockingly Fred Nile is strongly opposed too. Young people need to be deterred from smoking pot and driving says Fred.

Congratulations to the Bolivian people on reelecting the Movement for Socialism, an anti-colonial, Indigenous, socialist party who won this week's election in a landslide.
The MAS Party victory followed them being deposed in a far-right, US-backed, military coup last year.
The US government has a sordid history of backing right wing coups against democratically elected socialist governments in Latin American in particular.
