Former NSW Labor minister Ian Macdonald and union friend John Maitland's convictions thrown outThe NSW Court of Appeal has ordered a retrial over the granting of a lucrative mining licence while Mr Macdonald held the minerals portfolio in 2008. AngusGthompson Although I am no friend of politicians I felt there was something weird about this case. AngusGthompson Presumably the judge who misdirected the jury resulting in false imprisonment has been sacked? AngusGthompson I am sure KKeneally will be pleased to see her mates have another go, but michaeldaleyMP & billshortenmp might not appreciate the re-airing of ALP activities in the NSW & Federal election campaigns.

NSW Labor deputy apologises over 'inappropriate' Premier witch tweetNSW deputy Labor leader Penny Sharpe deletes a tweet showing a protest placard depicting Premier Gladys Berejiklian as a witch during a rally over music festival regulation, admitting it was inappropriate.

Typical Labor below the belt attacks! Sharpe must resign her position as she is both a disgrace and embarrassment to the Parliament! Vote Labor and this is the filth you’ll get! Ha ha ha .

Labor vows 'end to war on cyclists' with $412m for active transportLabor said it would end the Coalition's 'war on cyclists across NSW under former roads minister Duncan Gay', which it claimed had led to a fall in people choosing to cycle. No one in their right mind would ride a cycle on the roads, in Sydney at least. There are crazy drivers out there and you would take your life in your hands every time you rode on the tarmac. Dedicated cycle paths are a must if people are to use a bicycle as a commuter vehicle. Aww on spoil the fun. You can’t share a road that is over 20km per hr with a car ...there’s a free tip for you michaeldaleyMP . Share the road is a con for not providing cycling infrastructure. A person on a bike will always come off worse if they & a car collide. Metal and skin are not compatible
