City of Sydney

Only 20% of voters trust the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese.

Quick look at Sydney's weather.

We're in for a partly cloudy day.

It's pretty well known throughout the industry that David Jones have just got too many stores.

And it's the stores that aren't at the high end, like David Jones in the city of Sydney, David Jones in Melbourne, which are... flagship stores, high-end at Chadstone, for example, a high-end shopping mall there, they're going pretty well.

But it's the other fringe ones that don't do so well, you know, like Ringham Mall in Sydney on the outside of the main city.

And I think the administrators will be looking, okay, if we cut the number of stores, say, in half, and just focus on the profitable ones, the profitable high-end David Joneses.

Well, has that got a future for it? And I think most agree that it would.

He's told the Daily Telegraph $200,000 grants are available for councils.

The City of Sydney has about 10,000 bikes scattered across pavements and dumped in laneways.

Another 10,000 are ditched across the Inner West, Waverley, Randwick, Bayside and Wallara.

The City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore is hitting back.

She says the State Government is taking us all for a ride by claiming it's done enough to sort out the problem.

She claims her council has built 250 parking bays and they'll have another 50 ready by the end of the year.

I think it would depend on the local government that you are speaking to.

I mean, you've got governments like the City of Sydney that have fantastic climate plans.

The government of Melbourne, I think the mayor is the co-chair of the C40 Climate Mayors Initiative and is obviously very well versed in things.

Some of the work that we've released this year has been looking at the mid to small size governments, local governments particularly, and having a look at the ones that maybe aren't in the headlines but do have these acute funding or delivery challenges or very regional populations.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But in a similar situation as Cuiva, I was working in a bar in Australia, in Sydney, right in the heart of Sydney City.

And the uniform was a black short-sleeved shirt and a tartan skirt.

Ridiculous, thinking back.

Its leader is a man who has had several major scandals connected to him.

The Watergate scandal... where he was a director of a company based in the Caymans that was able to make $70 million from non-existent water, and the Travelgate, where a document was forged in his office to suggest that the Sydney City Council under Clover Moore had taken inappropriate travel costing far more than it should have, and that document was forged.

Other political careers would have been ended overnight with either one of those.

Taylor has survived, not because he's cunning like John Howard was and smart, but because there's no one else.
