🚨Gratuitous news🚨 After 3.5 years, today will be my last day at The Australian. Excited to announce I'll be joining the @smh's stellar state politics team, starting on July 17. Until then, I'll be in Asia avoiding Sydney's frigid winter.

Wrote out some feelings about Sydney, a place that will always be home. Thanks to everyone who helped me out over the past three years; keep the faith. Going on leave for a couple of months smh.com.au/national/nsw/as-i…

As I leave beautiful but maddening Sydney, I’ve realised all its problems boil down to one thing

Sydney would be unstoppable if it could fix the cost of housing, the tyranny of distance and its obsession with rules and restrictions. We are let down by leaders who say the right things but act...

One of Sydney’s top restaurant groups has been hit with claims it pushed female staff out of the company after reporting sexual assaults, encouraged staff to have sex with customers and discriminated against women as it built up a hospitality empire that now spans six venues.

The NSW Liberal Party claim the Electoral Commission breached regulation and once again threatens legal action if the request to reopen nominations is knocked back smh.com.au/politics/nsw/elec…

NSW Libs take legal action to fix bungled local government nominations

The party failed to nominate many of its candidates in time – but it now claims the NSW Electoral Commission was at fault and it will go to court to prove it.
