Happy Birthday to Barrie Unsworth – Unions NSW Secretary (1979-84), NSW Labor Minister (1984-86) and NSW Premier (1986-88) – who turns 90 #OnThisDay and is the longest lived NSW Premier since Bill McKell. He's still 'good value' and 'on the right track'. #auspol #nswpol

The NSW Police's failure to follow up the anti-semitic Opera House protests - where Sydney's Jews were warned by Police to stay away from their own CBD - was a disaster for the rule of law in this country.

Or I could just say:

Sunil Gavaskar got worried while facing him.

Rest in peace, Derek 'Deadly' Underwood!

Every day serving as a Minister is a privilege, but being able to work to deliver for SA in key economic development is incredibly exciting.
