NSW Libs could win a lot of votes if they basically ran on a platform of continuing to build the same sort of metro they just completed. Link tullawong to st Mary’s for instance. Or city to Zetland. Huge vote winner but they seem to also be shying away for some reaosn

Woollahra Council are having a massive sook over plans for more housing directly behind Edgecliff Station. They say one of the richest parts of the country has enough housing already, and moan about traffic and heritage.
