The New South Wales government has backflipped on its plan to force cafes to offer customers who dine in the option of mugs and glasses instead of takeaway cups.

Chris Minns’ government will also ditch a law that would have required businesses to participate in a reusable cup scheme or risk a fine up to $110,000.

Sydney Open is on Sunday 1 November 2026. 44 buildings are in the City are open to the public between 10am to 5pm.

My son is going into year 7 next year and I'm starting to look at laptops. The school supports both Mac and Windows, but most kids use Windows so I suspect there would be a slight comparability advantage with Windows, mostly because the teacher is likely more familiar.

But I like the idea of the Find My compatibility and Apple Care with a mac (probably the new Neo). I know there are Windows alternatives here but it seems mac would be simpler and easier (we use iphones and I use a mac for work).

What do other think/recommend?

I jest. They are merely giving Camperdown Oval a make-over. I would pay good money to have a go on a digger though. Fools!!

A study of abstraction, tone, texture, contrast, colour, shape and repetition to create harmony. Taken approx 07-5:am this morning in Sydney CBD.

Hey everyone, keen to head into the CBD in early November with 12yo and 9yo for a girls weekend,
Can anyone recommend a hotel to stay, close enough to wander, but with a view - I was thinking maybe the Shangri-La? But open to anything around the Rocks or Darling Harbour,

Anyone know of kid friendly activities, or fun places to eat?

Thanks all!

Been behind this car on Lane Cove Rd for a while. Anyone know what it is?

Waited on train a few stations from St Mary's for half an hour, no movement.

I asked driver if it's worth waiting or should I catch a taxi to St Mary's?

He says yeah 2-3 mins more.

I'm like "okay".

The train starts moving. BACKWARDS. BACK HOME. Without any notice or indication that would happen.

Jesus.
