New South Wales police has decided not to extend restrictions on protests in Sydney, a week after officers and protesters clashed in the city centre.The controversial laws grant police the power to refuse public protests for up to 90 days after a terrorist incident and have been in place since the Bondi attack.The restrictions do not outright ban protests but remove certain legal protections for protesters, particularly those marching through the streets.They've been widely criticised by civil liberty groups and activists.Meanwhile police in Sydney say they're looking for a driver and offender after a former NRL player was seriously injured in a drive-by shooting.Matt Utai's recovering in hospital after the shooting in the suburb of Greenacre.Police say they don't believe he's involved in organised crime, but are still investigating if he was meant to be the target of the shooting.Utai played for Wests Tigers and the Canterbury Bulldogs during his career which included premiership.Highly sensitive Australian court files have been accessed by foreign actors in breach of the law and contract obligations, prompting fears of a national security risk.An ABC investigation found court files have been accessed by contractors based in India, without the knowledge of the courts.Federal Greens senator David Shoebridge says the information in the wrong hands could do incredible damage.The federal court says it's looking into the matter.

What happens when a six-month holiday turns into a 14-year life chapter? You pack a bag for a gap year in the snow and accidentally stumble into a whole new world - a career, a husband, a mortgage, and three children. On paper, it’s the fairytale expat dream. But eventually, the adventure stops feeling like freedom and starts feeling like distance. Georgia Louise was living that dream as a ski patroller in Canada. However, when the global pandemic hit, her perception of being "a flight away" changed to feeling "a world away". That was the moment of the pivot: The realisation that to move forward, she had to go back to where she started - but as a completely different person. In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson talks to Georgia about the decision to pack up over a decade of life into seven suitcases to chase a dream she’d been ignoring for years: To become a nurse. Georgia opens up about the "messy middle" of relocating a family of five to regional New South Wales with no credit rating, no local employment history and nothing but a heartfelt letter to convince a landlord to take a chance on them. We unpack the reality of dismantling a comfortable life to start from scratch, the humility of sitting in a university lecture hall with 18-year-olds as a mature-age student and how Georgia uses her thriving social media platform to fund her studies. Join us for a conversation about the logistics of moving a family across the globe when the pull of home becomes too loud to ignore. Get ready to be inspired by a woman who is proving that it is never too late to go back to school. THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson? Check out her podcast Seize The Yay.

Former Melbourne Storm star Ryan Hoffman's welcoming a change to rugby league's representative selection criteria. Those capped by New Zealand or England who were born in New South Wales or Queensland, or resided there prior to their 13th birthdays are now eligible to play State of Origin. This also goes the other way - players with New Zealand heritage who have already featured in State of Origin can now be selected for the Kiwis. Hoffman joined Piney to discuss further.

The sandstone relief sculpture symbolises the origins and settlement of the colony of New South Wales, by depicting elements of Sydney history in the middle of the rocks area. The Rocks is a very popular spot where locals and tourists mingle at the open-air Markets, perusing handmade fashions and street food. This fairly large sculpture is located at the intersection of Playfair and George Street. It has three sides, with a figure or figures carved into each side. Very popular spot for pictures. Each side represents a particular group of people that established themselves in Sydney early on: The Convicts, The Settlers, and The Soldier. “First Impressions” was commissioned by the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority in 1979.

NSW has moved fast to reform its planning system, promising to unlock housing supply through sweeping state-led controls. But zoning uplift alone doesn't build homes. In this episode, we ask the harder question many in property are thinking but few say out loud: is the system genuinely delivering housing, or quietly choking supply through feasibility constraints, delays, and unintended consequences?Joining us is James Oldknow, Special Counsel at Mills Oakley, who works daily at the sharp end of planning approvals, appeals, and the NSW Land & Environment Court. James breaks down why Transport Oriented Development (TOD) has produced little real-world uptake, while the Low-to-Mid Rise (LMR) policy is driving a surge of applications—particularly in Sydney's most expensive, tightly held suburbs.We unpack how affordable housing incentives are being used to make projects stack up, why premium locations like Mosman, Waverley, and Woollahra are seeing the most change, and how the new Housing Delivery Authority is fast-tracking large projects while sidelining local controls. Along the way, we tackle design quality, heritage, infrastructure strain, and the emotional toll these changes are having on established communities.For investors, homeowners, and anyone exposed to property in NSW, this episode is a reality check. And if you're wondering what could be coming in other states, this could be the canary in the coalmine. The reforms aren't a silver bullet—but they are already reshaping values, neighbourhoods, and long-term decisions for those paying attention.Episode Highlights00:00 — Introduction to NSW Planning System01:33 — Meet the Expert: James Oldknow04:41 — Challenges in TOD Applications08:33 — LMR Policy and Its Impact10:52 — Affordable Housing and Feasibility16:42 — Community Concerns and Planning Rigors26:53 — Development Typologies Across New South Wales28:59 — Concerns About Centralized Authority30:43 — Affordable Housing and Contribution Funds32:17 — Infrastructure and Traffic Concerns34:33 — Heritage and Environmental Considerations43:29 — Navigating Development Consents and Modifications45:29 — Final Thoughts and AdviceAbout the GuestJames Oldknow is Special Counsel in Mills Oakley's Planning and Environment team, specialising in planning and development law across New South Wales. He advises landowners and developers on projects of all sizes and regularly appears before councils, planning panels, and the NSW Land & Environment Court.Working daily within the approvals and appeals system, James sees firsthand where projects stall, why others succeed, and how state policies like LMR, TOD, and the Housing Delivery Authority operate in practice—not theory. His perspective is grounded in real projects, real constraints, and real outcomes, making him uniquely placed to cut through the policy noise and explain what NSW's planning reforms are actually delivering on the ground.Connect with JamesJames' LinkedIn Mills Oakley Website Mills Oakley LinkedIn ResourcesVisit our website:

A crowded field is lining up to contest the seat of outgoing Liberal leader Sussan Ley after she lost the top job and announced she'll quit politics.Angus Taylor ousted Ms Ley as Liberal leader in yesterday's spill, securing the majority of votes in a secret ballot. The Liberals and Nationals will now be among those vying for the regional New South Wales seat of Farrar in a by-election, as well as One Nation and independent Michelle Milthorpe who ran at the last election against Susan Ley. Australia and the European Union are on the cusp of finally reaching a free trade agreement after talks in Brussels.Trade Minister Don Farrell travelled to Europe earlier this week to revive trade talks, pressing the EU to lower barriers to Australian agricultural exports. If everything goes to plan, EU President Ursula von de Leyen could soon visit Australia to sign the deal with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. US President Donald Trump says fear may be the only thing that will push Iran to reach an agreement on its nuclear program. The American military presence in the region is ramping up as a second aircraft carrier group is deployed to the Middle East.Speaking to US troops in North Carolina, Mr Trump says it's been difficult to make a deal with Iran, and fear may be needed to resolve the standoff. Iran says it's prepared to discuss limits on its nuclear program, in exchange for lifting sanctions.

Send a textG'day and welcome to the A Place to Call Home Podcast.In this episode, I'm joined by Charlie Thurgate, a 24-year-old cattle producer based in Tamworth, New South Wales — and someone who genuinely wears a lot of hats.Charlie's story is one of resilience, responsibility, and having a crack. From stepping into management at a young age, to building his own trucking business, surviving a serious accident, and rebuilding from the ground up — Charlie has packed a lot into his early twenties.Today, he's building Kamilaroi Cattle Company, a paddock-to-plate beef business grounded in regenerative principles, while also growing Element Agri, a mineral business supplying livestock and soil health products across Australia — all while continuing to learn, trial, and refine his systems.What stood out most in this conversation is Charlie's level of perspective and wisdom for someone his age. He's thoughtful, open about mistakes, and deeply committed to building systems that work with the land, not against it.This is a practical, honest conversation about regenerative agriculture, genetics, business, and what it really takes to build something from scratch in agriculture.In this episode, we chat about:Taking on responsibility at a young age and learning on the jobOvercoming adversity and rebuilding after a life-changing accidentTransitioning land from cropping back to pastureRegenerative agriculture and ultra-high density grazingSanga genetics and breeding cattle for resilience and efficiencyBuilding a paddock-to-plate beef business from scratchThe realities of running multiple ag businesses at 24Systems thinking, soil health, and long-term land stewardshipResources MentionedMAN, CATTLE and VELD : Zietsman, Johann: Amazon.com.au: BooksIntegrity Soils - Biological Education SpecialistsFollow Charlie

The new leader of the federal Liberal Party, Coalition and Opposition, Angus Taylor, says on social media he's honoured to lead the party, but observers point out he'll need strong policies to lift the Liberals out of its current crisis.He rolled the party's first federal female leader Sussan Ley 34 votes to 17 in a leadership spill.She only lasted nine months in the position and has now announced her retirement from politics triggering a by-election in her regional New South Wales seat of Farrer.Angus Taylor takes the helm of the Coalition at a time of devastatingly low polling while One Nation becomes a serious threat.The New South Wales police watchdog has confirmed it'll launch an investigation, in the wake of violent clashes at a protest at Sydney Town Hall.Footage from the rally shows some officers appearing to throw punches while arresting demonstrators, as others dragged away Muslim men who'd been praying.The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission says it's received a 'significant number' of complaints since the protest over a visit to the city by Israeli President Isaac Hertzog.The heavy rains forecast for south-east Queensland have begun soaking the Gold Coast dumping more than 100 millimetres in the area.A severe weather warning is predicting heavy rainfall that could lead to isolated major flooding developing in the wider region.The wet weather's expected to continue into the weekend before easing and some residents have been sandbagging in preparation. 

Addressing the media for the first time since defeating Sussan Ley in a Liberal partyroom ballot, Angus Taylor says "it's the greatest honour" of his life to be elected the new Opposition leader.  He's acknowledged Sussan Ley's "extraordinary" contribution to the Liberal Party and Australia, while pointing to the huge task ahead for his party.As a first priority, Mr Taylor has pledged to restore Australia's standard of living and protect our way of life.Sussan Ley has annouced she'll resign from parliament shortly and give Angus Taylor "clear air" in his new role.The leadership spill has ended her tenure as the first woman to lead the party at a federal level, after just nine months in the role.Her supporters argue some of her conservative team members did not give her a fair go — something Ms Ley says should be afforded to Mr Taylor.Organisers of Monday's pro-Palestine demonstration to oppose the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Sydney are welcoming an independent review into police's conduct.The New South Wales police watchdog has announced it's launching an inquiry into the actions of police and allegations of misconduct.The Palestine Action Group says the commission needs to conduct a 'transparent, thorough and timely' investigation - and are also calling on the Premier, the Police Minister, and the Police Commissioner to resign.  

The new Liberal leader Angus Taylor says he wants to win back voters who are turning to Pauline Hanson's One Nation.The conservative M-P has replaced Sussan Ley after a leadership spill this morning, which Mr Taylor won 34 votes to 17.Recent polling shows a bump in support for One Nation... while the Coalition has recorded a steep drop in support.Mr Taylor says he recognises the Liberal Party is losing votes to the right but says copying the minor party isn't the answer.Sussan Ley will resign from parliament after being ousted, triggering a by-election in the New South Wales seat of Farrar.The Prime Minister has congratulated her for the grace and dignity she's shown on a very difficult day.In a statement, Anthony Albanese says he's spoken with Ms Ley to "wish her the best for her future".Nationals leader David Littleproud - who's had rocky relationship with Ms Ley at times - says she's "shown integrity and class" and that he wishes "her all the best in her future endeavours."The hometown of Cooper Woods has been celebrating his gold medal in the men's moguls at the Milano Cortina 20-26 Winter Olympics.The 25-year-old has become just the seventh Australian to be crowned a Winter Olympic champion.The town of Pambula Beach on the New South Wales far south coast is even in talks about installing a statue or mural of Woods.

Newly-appointed opposition leader Angus Taylor has outlined his priorities for the Liberal Party, after ousting Sussan Ley in a leadership spill this morning.Mr Taylor says he's focused on the challenges of hard-working Australians, and restoring confidence in the Liberal party, which has plummeted in popularity according to a series of recent opinion polls.Victorian Senator Jane Hume has been elected deputy leader, replacing Ted O'Brien.Pauline Hanson has confirmed One Nation will contest the Farrar by-election, triggered by Sussan Ley's decision to exit politics.The decision will see the New South Wales seat she's held since 2001 vacated.Recent polling shows a bump in support for the minor party while the Coalition has recorded a steep drop in support.Ms Hanson says people in the regional electorate feel forgotten.Heavy rain will continue to drench parts of eastern Australia this weekend, with a risk of flooding around a number of rivers.The weather system responsible has arrived from the outback, where it's already brought the highest rain totals in up to 15 years this month.This rare desert drenching is the result of an intrusion of very humid tropical air, an air mass now over Queensland, where it will stall for several days.

The Liberal party is set to face a messy by-election in the New South Wales seat of Farrer to replace Sussan Ley.

Late last year, the winners of the 2025 Prime Minister's Prizes for Excellence in Science Teaching were announced. Each year, the 2 prizes – one for a primary school educator and one for a secondary school educator – recognise achievements in STEM teaching. For 2025, the winner for primary school teaching is Paula Taylor, Executive Teacher in STEM at the Academy of Future Skills within the ACT Education Directorate. The secondary school educator recognised is Matt Dodds, Biology and Physics Teacher at Glen Innes High School in New South Wales. We sat down with both of them at the beginning of the 2026 school year to hear all about the work they were recognised for. It was such a delight to hear about the teachers that had an impact on them when they were younger, the lesson activities that are a hit in their science classrooms, and how they're sharing their knowledge with other educators.

On January 2nd, 2026, Indonesia entered what officials are calling a "new era" of criminal justice. The country implemented a completely new Criminal code – KUHP - and a new Criminal Procedure Code—known as KUHAP—that changes what counts as a crime and how crimes are identified, investigated and punished. The government says this marks a shift toward "restorative justice" that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment. Officials describe it as "more humane, modern, and just". But civil society groups are sounding the alarm. They're calling the new law "draconian and illiberal"—and potentially worse than the system it replaces. At the heart of the controversy: police can still arrest and detain people without a warrant and Amnesty International has identified 88 articles that could be used to silence critics and criminalize peaceful dissent. So which is it? A historic reform that modernises the Indonesian justice, or a step backward that gives authorities concerning new powers? In this episode, we're speaking with a legal expert who's been following this law since its drafting. Maidina Rahmawati has over 8 years of experience in criminal justice reform advocacy. She is a certified advocate/litigator and mediator, and currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (ICJR). Mai holds a Master of Laws from the University of New South Wales, specialising in Criminal Justice and Human Rights. She is newly appointed as a lecturer in Criminal Law and Human Rights at Atma Jaya University Jakarta and in Criminal Law in the undergraduate Criminology program at the University of Indonesia (UI).

In Lake Cargelligo in central west New South Wales, police are hunting for an alleged triple murderer.

What began as a peaceful rally in Sydney’s Town Hall Square turned into scenes Abigail Boyd MP says she never thought she’d witness in New South Wales. In this episode of The Briefing, the NSW Greens MP joins Natarsha Belling to describe the moment she was knocked to the ground and allegedly punched by police while filming a protest, and what she says unfolded around her as officers moved in on demonstrators, including people praying, elderly protesters and families with children. As the NSW Premier and Police Commissioner defend police actions and label the rally violent, Boyd rejects those claims, pointing to hours of video footage she says tells a very different story. Headlines: A high-profile barrister has been found dead in his home, Ghislaine Maxwell has invoked her Fifth Amendment right to silence in front of a US congressional committee, and Sussan Ley has come out firing.

On March 25, 2022, 21-year-old Mackenzie Anderson was brutally murdered in Mayfield, New South Wales. She was stabbed more than 78 times by her ex-partner, Tyrone Thompson, in front of her toddler. Thomspon had been released on bail just 16 days earlier, despite a documented history of serious domestic violence. In the weeks before her death, Mackenzie did everything she was told would keep her safe. She called emergency services repeatedly when he broke into her home. She reported ongoing abuse. She worked with police. She secured an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order. None of it was enough. In this confronting and emotional episode, Laura is joined by Tabitha Acret, Mackenzie's mother, who shares who her daughter was beyond the headlines—and the devastating reality of living with a loss that never eases. Together, they speak honestly about the warning signs that were missed, the failures that left Mackenzie unprotected, and the permanent impact on her family, especially her child. This episode centers Mackenzie's life, not just her death, and asks the hard questions about why women who ask for help are still not being heard. It's yet another stark reminder that intimate partner violence is predictable, preventable, and too often ignored—until it's too late. #MackenzieAnderson #TabithaAcret #DomesticViolence #Femicide #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #newSouthWales  Clip https://youtube.com/shorts/ZqlullDAqUk?si=_W_aoe_y9nb1Anz3   More from Tabitha Acret  Tabitha on FB 2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community      Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses covering topics such as profiling behavior, stalking class on February 12, preventing murder and suicide in slow motion on February 19, coercive control February 25, DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.   Register for Masterclasses      Laura is hosting a FREE Criminal Behavioural Analysis: Profiling Behaviour & Escalating Risk- Learn about behaviours to prevent homicides & identifying the red flags and risks associated with domestic abuse, stalking, coercive control, child abuse & sexual violence.

Show NotesAustralian composer Lawrence English has spent over two decades treating sound as something that occupies your body, not just your ears. Putting The Tonearm's needle on Lawrence English means entering a sonic world where you're never quite sure what you're hearing or where it's coming from, and if you are a listener like our host, that will suit you just fine.Lawrence's recent album Trinity pairs him with Stephen Vitiello and guests like Brendan Canty from Fugazi and Chris Abrahams from The Necks. Each track builds what English calls "impossible trios," turning geographic and other constraints into creative fuel.Lawrence is here to discuss collaboration, the art of curation, and what it means to make meaningful work in an age drowning in content.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Lawrence English & Stephen Vitiello's album Trinity)–Dig DeeperArtist and AlbumVisit Lawrence English at lawrenceenglish.com and follow him on Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, and BandcampPurchase Lawrence English & Stephen Vitiello's Trinity from American Dreams, Bandcamp, or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceLearn more about Room40, Lawrence English's label celebrating its 25th anniversaryCollaborators on 'Trinity'Chris Abrahams (The Necks) - pianistStephen Vitiello - sound artist and composerAki Onda - multidisciplinary artistMarina Rosenfeld - turntablist and composerBrendan Canty (Fugazi, The Messthetics) - drummerThe late Steve Roden - artist and lowercase musicianBooks and TheoryPeter Szendy - 'Listen: A History of Our Ears'Neil Postman - 'Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business'Lauren Berlant - Cruel Optimism theoryMark Fisher - cultural theoristPlaces and ConceptsGunkanjima (Battleship Island) - abandoned coal mining island off NagasakiHashima Island history - most densely populated place in historyJapanese Metabolist architecture - architectural movement English researchedArt Gallery of New South Wales - collected English's bell workMusical Groups and EnsemblesThe Necks - Chris Abrahams' improvisational jazz trioTenniscoats - Japanese duo Saya and Takashi UenoAcademic and Philosophical ConceptsRelational listening - English's PhD theory on reconciling psychological and technological auditionAcid nostalgia - English's working concept on how contemporary nostalgia corrodes the pastNatsukashii - Japanese concept of longing for a time/place you were never part ofTsundoku - Japanese word for collecting books you don't readMa - Japanese concept of the space between elementsRelated WorksLawrence English - 'Cruel Optimism' (Room40)Lawrence English - 'Wilderness of Mirrors' (Room40, 2014)Chris Abrahams - 'Thrown' (Room40)Chris Abrahams - 'Appearance' (Room40, 2020)–Dig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

As U2 famously said: 'there's been a lot of talk, maybe too much talk' about Top 100 golf course lists, and last week there was another addition that caught Nick and Mark's eyes. Golf Australia Magazine gave their Top 100 Australian courses list, you can see it here. Like all lists, there is a degree of subjectivity to it and there's plenty on this list we agree with, and plenty we'd question, but that's part of it.Having said that, we decided to do the official Talk Birdie To Me 'Top 10 Australian golf course list'.So today Nick and Mark list their Top 10 Australian courses. We'd love your feedback, whether you agree or disagree, and if there are any standout courses that belong in the Top 10 that weren't AND what course you would remove to put it in there.We won't list them here, but we will list the state breakdown:On Nick and Marks list is:6 courses from Victoria;2 from Tasmania;1 from New South Wales;and 1 from South Australia.mmmm this could get controversial...We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.
