With COVID-19 spreading in Sydney’s southwest, can New South Wales avoid a return to lockdown and a similar scenario to Victoria’s second wave? The answer depends on whether there is community spread.
Recent cases among school children has prompted some to wonder: should we close schools again? The short answer is: no.
The business of metropolitan planning is not the natural game of state governments. The Victorian government tries but cannot manage metropolitan Melbourne.

Sydney’s historic buildings are facing increasing threats from developers. But we’re not just losing public ownership of our history – we’re losing our cultural spaces, too.
A coordinated mix of policies does more to keep housing affordable for a significant proportion of a city’s residents than the unbalanced approach we see in Sydney.
In an often-muted bush landscape, the deep crimson of the waratah stands out like a shout.
Though the Indigenous inhabitants were using white clay long before them, Sydney-made pottery helped colonists maintain different aspects of ‘civilised’ behaviour.
