Brigades have identified 30 stations across NSW that could be closed, with regional/rural stations already struggling with staffing issues over-represented, because the "political fallout is less". northerndailyleader.com.au/story/8096166/…

Tamworth is considered a safe Nationals seat, but Labor hopes to change that - saying privatisation isn't viable for rural communities where populations aren't enough to justify business. #NSWelection northerndailyleader.com.au/story/8069139/…

@TessKelly_ Facts

Why have I convinced myself I’m better and more mature than everyone because I watch #SurvivorAU and not #MAFS 🥵

Eva is my niece. It’s lovely to have another family member in the writing game, though she’s much better qualified than me. Most of the rest are teachers & are also much better qualified than me. This is a terrific and important series. Give Eva a follow and a read.

@JaneCaro Thanks Jane! Glad to break the teacher mould with you.
