Sadly, John Moore, the founder and inaugural chairman of Rail Trails for NSW Inc. passed away recently after several years of ill health.

Politics, at its best, seeks to lift others up to unify and allow every citizen to achieve their full potential. The converse is politics that seeks to divide and denigrate. As transgender and gender-diverse people in my electorate and across New South Wales know, they are too often the target of the latter.

I would like to recognise the efforts of all the Inner West creatives who will be participating in the Makers Front Yard Trail on Saturday 10 December.

I am pleased to welcome Miss Sina as the latest delicious addition to Marrickville's bakery community!

On Saturday 8 October, the Round She Goes Preloved Fashion Market hosted its final Sydney event of the year.

Our classic Marrickville brewery, the Bob Hawke Beer and Leisure Centre, has been nominated in the upcoming Time Out Food and Drink Awards 2022.
