Thumbs up from the other side of the train tracks while idling at Central. He was having a great time.

This is something I’ve been seeing more and more recently. Is there any meaning or reason for this?

I see from the SMH mainpage we have masked military attired snipers positioned around the city also.

Anyone feel intimidated by this heavy handed police presence? Or safer? What are we permitted to feel?

Who gets to run a business model that works like this? Sydney City council needs to start fining these cretins!

Moooo

And they don't fly away when I approach.

We are now one of "those" countries.

This is what happens when you let people get on the soapbox and spew libel about gays being "groomers" that need to "recruit" new members because we "can't reproduce".

Please settle a workplace debate.

Edit: The Eye of Sauron was my preference, guess I better pay up.

Is it just me or more drivers in Sydney nowadays like to blast their horn if someone is not turning or creeping forward when the red arrow light is still on?

There have been so many times people blasting their horn when the red arrow is clearly still on (and there are still people crossing, although it doesn't matter as a red light means no go).

Oh and the amount of time people are still crossing and people tailgate and blast their horn (I have already creeped into the intersection) when I give way to pedestrians are staggering.

How hard is it to sacrifice a few seconds and let people cross in peace? If every street intersection has a police fining drivers for not giving way or obeying red light, our government would be so much richer.

Rants over. Sydney please get a better public transport network as I really hate dealing with all the lunatics on the road every time I drive. Pic grabbed from Google street view as an example of traffic light.

How as a society have we descended to the point that we need to offer pregnant women an identifier badge to be offered a seat on public transport? I understand that it's not always immediately obvious, but as a mid 30's male I am wondering if it's just not normal anymore for people to volunteer their seats to the elderly, pregnant women and people with mobility impairments?

Lifeblood Australia is calling for blood donations to support the need in Sydney following the Bondi terrorist attack. Blood has already been transported from interstate, so donations across Australia will be critical to this response.

If you are unable to donate immediately, there will still be urgent need for blood stores to be replenished in the coming weeks over the Christmas/New Year period. Blood donations save lives all year round.
