Not a slogan. Just honest.

Bankstown Airport would be redeveloped into a mini-city of 30,000 homes under radical plans being explored by airport operator Aware Super, which has discussed the idea with relevant governments.

The proposal would involve extending the Bankstown metro line – which is due to open later this year – by at least one stop to service the area now occupied by the airport.

Some senior figures in the NSW government are aware of and actively supporting the idea. The government is looking for options for more housing density after its plan to convert the Rosehill Racecourse to a mini-city of 25,000 homes was scuttled by Australian Turf Club members last year.

The federal government, which owns the land, confirmed it was aware of the idea but played it down, stressing Bankstown Airport still plays an important role in aviation, and noting the current master plan does not allow residential development.

Might be of interest to anyone in Sydney - there's a new weekly club night starting this saturday in Newtown which is free entry (!!!) till midnight. There's a few pop parties that happen already like Glitch etc but they seem to be way more milennial branded-y2k inspired, this is definitely going for something more current for fans of addison, slayyyter, zara larsson. Lauren from triple j is djing too.

Hey, I'm a 30 year old single male moving from London to Sydney. After a lifetime of living in the city, I ideally want to live walking distance from a beach when I come over. The 3 towns I've been looking at are Bondi, Coogee, and Manly.

Which of those would you choose if you were in my shoes? And why?

I'm also open to any other suggestions! I was also looking at Surry Hills as a nice in between from the city centre and the coast?

Thanks!

Something low pressure but good vibe.

At first it made no sense.

She is 38 year old and around 5 ft tall with short hair. She is Caucasian, however she claims to be a proud Koori woman who grew up in a mission (which is not true).

She has faked cancer/brain tumours multiple times and scammed money out of friends and family for ‘treatment’. She has also faked multiple sexual assaults, claimed domestic abuse, and pretended to be homeless in order to scam money from innocent, caring people.

She regularly fakes seizures to gain sympathy and pretends they’re caused by her non existent brain tumour. She has become extremely convincing in these acts and has gone to great lengths to ‘prove’ the legitimacy of her fake illnesses.

Last I am aware of she was living in emergency housing in Waterloo, faking being a victim of domestic abuse and sexual assault, and generally just doing anything she can to not have to get a job.

I believe this person is dangerous as she will stop at nothing to scam money and sympathy/attention from people. She has physically and mentally abused multiple ex partners, then tried to turn the tables and say they abused her. Please, for your own safety and the sake of your mental health, STAY RIGHT AWAY!

If you suspect you may know this person, please feel free to message me.

Is the next generation ok? has tiktok rotted their brains?

I have to go back to my home country and was wondering if anyone would like to take my gym membership. It is a platinum fitness first membership and 27$ per week. I have got $1017 left to pay on that so it's about 36 weeks left. DM and I can send you the correspondence from fitness first. All legit and no funny stuff just don't want to pay out the money!
