FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN
Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.
In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.
Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.
Dear Transport Minister,
New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.
I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.

Dogs with food allergic reactions no more need to suffer, because of the many specialized kinds of dog brands currently available. Once you have had your canine’s kind of food allergy identified with a vet or figured it working for yourself, you may then have the ability to buy a more appropriate kind of food for the dog.

The Colbert Report, a very popular night time satire program on Comedy Central, capitalized around the wristband trend and tried on the extender to spread awareness for… well… Stephen Colbert.

In the above statistics, it’s apparent that how big a company performed a job within the resolution of the quantity of returns received. It beats logic for you to expect a sizable organization to get low levels of returns and the other way around.

Use a silk scarf to wrap your hair up at night as this will prevent your weave from breaking, drying and snagging while you sleep. You can also use a second silk scarf around the first one for added security.
There are plenty of items in stock to supply a new museum in Parramatta.
Once again, the developers have their sights on
this spot.
Some cultural jewels should be spared from this greed.
What is there for tourists, both local, interstate and overseas to do now in Sydney with children on a wet day?
What other great cities dont have a science museum in the city? Could you imagine the UK moving the science museum 40 minutes out of London, or the famous museums in Washington, Paris, Berlin be moved out to the suburbs?
Shame on your Baird, the sooner you are gone the better for Sydney
Took the trams out.
Now this. It’s more of the same mindset.
Come on, Mr Baird, we are actually not so stupid as to take neo-liberal rationalisation of your friends’ freebooter rapacity for enlightened governance.
Conclusion:
Displays poor attention in civics class. Must do better. Or will fail to achieve a pass next May.
Fred Green, Annandale
The Powerhouse Museum is the principal venue of the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences and has been connected to its place in the Ultimo area since the 1890s. There, in the intervening 120 years or so, the Museum has built its unique character, a staggeringly interesting collection, and a broad local, interstate and international visitor base. The Museum’s essential identity and its many existing visitor communities, not to mention its skilled, knowledgeable (and recently-restructured) staff, cannot survive the proposed demolition and relocation of the Museum without serious and irrevocable damage.
What on earth are Premier Baird and his government colleagues thinking of – and who has the Premier’s ear? You cannot move an established museum, its people and its collections, without destroying the intangible nature and beating heart of the institution itself. Presumably ‘it’s the economy, stupid’, but who exactly will reap the economic gain?
Has anyone yet attempted to assess the ACTUAL cost and the time it will actually take to demolish the Museum, move its collections, and rethink and create something entirely new, in a new building? Has Premier Baird – or anyone – reflected on the awful waste of recently-expended public funds that will result? Consider for example the millions invested in Dr Dawn Casey’s ‘Revitalisation’ project a bare five or six years ago and, in only the last 18 months, Rose Hiscock’s courageous and extensive revisioning, restructure and renewal of the Museum and its exhibition spaces?
Premier Baird, can we please please leave the Powerhouse Museum alone and allow it to continue flourishing as an established and integral part of Sydney’s cultural landscape.
Premier Baird, can we please please design and create a brand new museum specially for the people and communities of Western Sydney, a museum that’s envisioned and built with them in mind, to meet their particular needs, host their conversations and spark their dreams.
How could you think of selling off these buildings.
Are the developers going to retain working steam engines?
No, I donn’t think so.
These buildings are not the assets of any government to sell off, they are the assets of my children and all future generations.
