I saw nine dolphins once churn three by three In echelons behind a ferry boat As though a combine harvested the sea, Curving toward our wake as asymptote ‘Saronic’, a poem by @ae_stallings in the new issue: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

We've had enough of backroom deals with big donors & mates. No more #jobsforboys. #PokiesRC. More #ICAC funding. If you want to ensure whoever's in #NSWGovt is transparent, honest, ethical & acting in public interest, not self-interest, #Vote1 #GroupH #EFI #UpperHouse! #NSWVotes

Vaucluse is a special place and no one knows better than it’s residents We’re mad to leave development outcomes entirely in the hands of developers and politicians If I’m lucky enough to be elected, I’ll put residents at the heart of planning decisions in their neighbourhoods

A reminder about my forum at @Ravesis tonight with @katieqs and @justinrfield on @LiberalNSW's Greenwashing: deceptive messaging to make people believe that an organisation is doing more to protect the environment than it really is. eventbrite.com.au/e/no-more-gree… @eventbrite

Solving Sydney’s housing crisis is more complex than developers will admit Boosting housing supply is not the panacea for our problems The truth is far more complex #nswpol #development #costofliving #VaucluseVotes smh.com.au/national/nsw/w…

Great morning at #Edgecliff #Vaucluse residents are very concerned about the 500 apartments the government want to build here. It's impossible to drive down New South and Old South Head Roads. We need to address our infrastructure needs first before we increase density.

Thank you National Council of Jewish Women, Jewish Sustainability Initiative, Woollahra Council and Tree Rites for the opportunity to help plant a tiny forest for Tu Bishvat at Signal Reserve in Vaucluse. This morning was uplifting and inspiring. Thank you for including me.

Another troubling report showing the "jobs for mates" culture in NSW. The only way to end this in politics is to LEGISLATE a transparent & independent MERIT-BASED public appointments process. If elected, I'll introduce a private members bill to stamp this corruption out.

Thanks to @TheWenty for covering my forum on overdevelopment. We're sick of the bad developments ruining our neighbourhood: the private certifiers approving dodgy builds; the local heritage lost forever and the lack of infrastructure support. dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/went…

Researching my new novel, thanks to a helpful analyst at @acmadotgov, I've discovered the entertaining and intriguing @what3words map of the world. Going to try to work it into the plot.
