Jerome Laxale MP apologises, but Albanese needs a kick up the pants

Michael Pachi, 2GB's Political editor asked Albanese if he would apologise but Albanese refused to apologise, saying it was a family matter. But it isn't just a family matter. Alain Laxale was working for the ALP when he made the remarks.

Albanese is the leader of the ALP, shouldn't he apologise on behalf of the ALP?

And why does Jerome Laxale apologise on behalf of his father? Can his father not speak for himself? And why hasn't the father been sacked from the team?

QNews comments:

Chip off the old block?

Another reason to put Labor and Greens last.

The ALP is in damage control mode after the father of a Labor MP made homophobic remarks at a polling booth. Labor MP Jerome Laxale has apologised after his dad made the comments to a Liberal Party volunteer. The father of Jerome Laxale, the Member for Bennelong, on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, was...

Stop the ‘Ministry of Truth’
https://www.advanceaustralia.org.au/open_letter_ministry_of_truth

If our government is allowed to censor what can and can’t be said, our democracy dies. No politician should restrict the right of citizens like you to hear ALL sides of the story. But right now, Labor, the Greens and the Teals are planning a new law to let the government decide what’s ‘true’...

Firenze (Florence) uses a different approach to garbage removal.

1. Large bins in the street serve several units. Residents (often AirBNB tenants) place their rubbish in the large bins. Cost reduction would be significant.

2. More alternatives are provided. Plastic, glass, etc

3. Bins are emptied in the early morning, unlike in Sydney where Garbos seem to prefer peak hour.

Bus station only on one side of the road, saves the cost of a bus station, as the bus simply turns at a roundabout.

Sydney could be cheaper and congestion free if NSW Transport was smarter.

Pathetic!

Australia is no longer a safe space for women.

Someone creates a safe space and a judge bashes the door down.

Controversial decision finds transgender activist was unlawfully excluded from an app specifically designed as a safe space for women.

The story on 2 Kingston street

This is a great initiative, seen here in Cambridge UK.

It shows the inhabitants of this address in 1891, Sarah and Margaret and what they did for a living.

Each house on the street has a similar story.

Stories are put together by local schoolchildren under the umbrella of creatingmycambridge.com

This teaches relevant history, engages kids with the local community and many other positives.

Could we do something like this in Ryde?
