Sydney

TIL that forcing transaction processing fees on renters is even a thing

Trains and metro services will be free this weekend.

Travel will be free on all train and metro services operated by Sydney Trains, Airport Link, Sydney Metro and NSW TrainLink booked services this weekend.

This fare free travel period will help passengers who may face disruptions this weekend due to industrial action by the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) and Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU). 

What you need to know

From 11pm Friday 20 September to 1am Monday 23 September 2024:

• Travel will be free on all train and metro services in NSW.
• You will not be required to tap on or tap off for any train or metro service.
• Opal gates and readers will be turned off at stations during the fare free period.

In short:

A real estate listing for a three-bedroom unit near Bronte Beach in Sydney has sparked outrage for a series of "red flag" rules for prospective tenants.

They include the tenant only being allowed to exit or enter the property outside the business hours of the kindergarten below, which is the only access point.

What's next?

The property has been removed from online real estate platforms.

Looks like he's trying to sink this.

Continuing to carry out lethal policy in the face of evidence is not functionally different to pollies randomly selecting kids and strangling them to death. It is social murder.

Once again nsw is a late mover, earning out place as the least informed and most conservative state in Australia with flying colours.

ABC reports it as a "rampage". It is hijinks at best.

RIP to a real one.

I didn't know they'd been here in 2018..….

I thought maybe someone was marking cars that had been highlighted on Dashcam Owners Australia, but apparently not....

Thank God resources have been allocated for a strike force! One poor victim got the paint off with WD40, but the trauma will last forever!

In short:

The NSW Liberals has backed down on legal threats over last week's council nominations blunder.

Close to 140 candidates will not be on the ballot for next month's local government elections.

The party admitted fault last week and sacked state director Richard Shields.
