MORNING BRIEFING: Transport delays are expected across Sydney this morning as hundreds of bus drivers walk off the job
Today's bus strike is part of an escalating dispute between the government and transport unions.
"If you've got any doubts and you don't have to travel today, I wouldn't choose today to get on a bus in one of those areas," Mr Collins said. Evander Tuala, 23, was allegedly punched in the head and fell to the ground during a fight that broke out between two groups on Oxford Street just after midnight on Saturday.Detective Superintendent John Duncan said there were many witnesses to the incident and they are being asked to come forward with footage from dashcams or mobile phones.
The state has a big portion of vulnerable seats and there is a concentration of them in Sydney's west. The Princess Royal, who has been in NSW since Saturday, met with the families of Geoff Keaton and Andrew O'Dwyer on Sunday during her visit to the NSW Rural Fire Service headquarters. The federal government is being urged to set up a JobKeeper package to save GP practices from closing in rural and regional Australia.
"We can use other mechanisms to maintain services in those communities for a period of 12 to 24 months until we can get the supply of workforce back into rural communities."It is hoped the pop-up classrooms will be in place early in term 2.
