The Week In Review - Redfern-Waterloo

Firstly, I must apologise for being blogless for so long, owing to My Other Job keeping me busy (not to mention My Study).But enough of that, there's too bloody much going on to talk about me. Let's go over it far too briefly, starting with ...

Life for Frank Sartor as NSW Minister for Redfern-Waterloo is looking increasingly bleak, with revelations that the Aboriginal Housing Project's Pemuluwuy Project - their long term vision for The Block - was supported by the NSW Government virtually until the arrival of Cranky Franky. The NSW Opposition have bought in to the controversy, openly supporting the Pemuluwuy Project (Aboriginal Affairs Minister Amanda Vanstone has also put in her two cents worth - it would have had a bit more credibility had she lifted a single finger to assist Redfern-Waterloo since assuming the portfolio. Then again, she's been too busy running away from Vivian Solon et al). They're now planning a major event on the 15th of October in support of the local community - given that some big names are attending, this could attract a fair bit of publicity. Will Franky still do it his way or will they kick his white arse out of there? Local opposition to his sweeping plans have made it increasingly difficult to achieve his mandate - it's possible that he may hand it over and concentrate on the meatier and (slightly) less sticky prospect of reshaping Sydney via his new Planning portfolio.
