New South Wales public transport capacity will be doubled from July 1 as coronavirus case numbers in the state remain low.

Waratah trains will increase from 32 to 68 passengers, two-door buses to 23 people and ferries to 450 people.

Transport Minister Andrew Constance announced strict cleaning measures and marshalling would continue on transport to ensure travellers adhere to social distancing measures. Thousands of public services will also be added to the transport system in coming months to accommodate for an increase in the number of commuters as people begin to return to work.

NSW to scrap 50-person-venue limit | Sky News AustraliaNSW will scrap the 50-person limit at cafes, restaurants, and churches, with venues instructed to follow the one person per four square metres rule as the immediate health risk from COVID-19 recedes.\n\nThe new restrictions will be in place for funerals from Sunday but for all other venues from July 1.\n\nNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said large, organised outdoor venues will also be allowed to hold a 25 per cent capacity from next month.\n\nShe said despite the easing of restrictions, it is critical the public remain vigilant.\n\n'It is so important for businesses to make sure they comply with the strict guidelines that have been put in place,' Ms Berejiklian said.\n\n'We can't let our guard down.'\n\n'People need to come forward for testing with the mildest of symptoms and practice good hand hygiene and social distancing.'\n\n\n This draconian action due to the coronavirus is flawed with the use of inaccurate medical information. The answer is Herd Immunity, protection of the vulnerable and wait for a vaccine . Problem is a vaccine is unlikely. Refer to Prof Ian Fraser.

Santos boss ‘delighted’ after NSW govt approves its CSG project | Sky News AustraliaSantos boss Kevin Gallagher says he’s “delighted” his company’s $3.6 billion Narrabri coal seam gasfield project in northern NSW is one step closer to being approved.\n \nThe Berejiklian government gave its tick of approval to the project this week, saying it is critical to NSW's energy needs and does not have a significant impact on the environment.\n\nThe Independent Planning Commission now has the final say on whether the project will go ahead.\n\nEnvironmental campaign group Lock The Gate Alliance has criticised the decision, with its spokeswoman Georgina Woods saying “it is highly politicised and the people of NSW will bear the cost.”\n\nHowever, Mr Gallagher told Sky News the project will have significant benefits for NSW, especially in the wake of COVID-19.\n\n'NSW will benefit greatly from the Narrabri gas project because it can provide up to 50 per cent of NSW gas needs,” he said.\n\n'Something like one million homes in NSW depends on gas, 33,000 businesses and 300,000 jobs depends on gas.\n\n'We think NSW can benefit greatly and coming out of COVID and the need for new jobs and support for the manufacturing sector, I think that’s why you are seeing that alignment between business, the unions and other stakeholders.”\n When you have friends in the PMs office... 🤮🤮 here come those 'woke' protesters🤣

NSW would consider sending 'strong message' on defamation of statues: Berejiklian | Sky News AustraliaNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has told Sky News the government will consider tightening laws to “send a strong message” against the defamation of Australian historical statues if necessary.\n\nStatues of historical figures across the globe have been destroyed in the wake of the growing Black Lives Matter movement with monuments of slave traders, and influential people, such as Christopher Columbus and even Winston Churchill, suffering at the hands of protesters.\n\nThese actions have spread to Australia with people defaming statues of Captain James Cook, while on Saturday busts of former prime ministers John Howard and Tony Abbott were spray painted over.\n\nPremier Berejiklian said if citizens hold strong views they should consider expressing them “in a proper way, not by disrespecting people” who have made strong contributions to Australian society.\n\nAs with the defamation of statues, TV shows and movies have been stripped from streaming services as it is believed they may be culturally insensitive.\n\nThe premier said she was “really struggling” with the idea of eliminating these works, and said “if things are done in a comedic or satirical way, it’s really a comment on broader society”.\n\n“We should be a bit more tolerant of things which are done in a tongue in cheek, satirical way without disrespecting people who find offence”.\n\nSpeaking on NSW’s economic recovery along with that of the rest of the nation, Ms Berejiklian said the government is making sure the community is safe while “working hard to open our economy as quickly as possible”.\n\nShe said this was why she is “aghast that some premiers think it’s ok to keep their borders up; it defies logic”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia GladysB The ugly insulting colonial white statues glorifying criminals deserve no respect, along with a bogus colonial white supremacy Government ruling by a 230 yr 'white theft and black genocide' colonial criminal Legacy.
