It was a wonderful experience to walk through the halls of Parliament House and walk through its history. Watching a re-enactment of what was it like in the first stages of the NSW Parliament was very interesting and enriching especially for me as a student doing studies in Indigenous peoples and Foundation of Human Rights in Australia. The place has been well taken cared off. The highlight for me was the painting when Governor Arthur Phillip hoisted the flag on (Sydney Bay) Australian soil. I only saw it in books but was in awe to find it at the inside the Parliament.

We went for the public tour and had coffee over looking the Domain. We went because the building had just had a revamp and because it is the oldest public building in Australia. The tour guides were interesting and helpful; about the building and how parliament works. It is free and I was suprised how much being in the space made sense of how parliament works. Highly recommended Add it to the list of interesting free things to do in the city, everyone welcome, our group ranged from toddlers to the very elderly.

Parliament House of New South Wales has breathtakingly lovely fountain and surrounded by beautiful gardens. It is secured by Very friendly and cheerful police officers. It has a nice restaurant and a café and you can imagine senate in session while sitting in there. There is no entry fee although it is necessary to go through a few security checks before entering. It is a must visit for people living and vacationing in New South Wales and for collecting souvenirs available inside cafe !!!!

Just The Some People Who Only To, who deeply avoids social interaction, sometimes acts offensively when forced to engage, but is fully aware and honest about this avoidance, empathetic toward others, and has calmly accepted this part of themselves without bitterness or despair.,

In the sunburnt bureaucracy of Australia, power isn't earned—it’s inherited, performed, or mistaken for charm.

This is not a meritocracy. It's a myth built in classrooms and parroted in election speeches, but it dies in committee rooms and preselection deals. The system favors not the fierce, the inventive, the driven—but the blandly palatable. The smiling mediocrities in well-cut suits. The ones who learned, early, how to make people feel comfortable with their complacency.

There’s a pathology here, not a philosophy. A collective leaning toward the familiar, even when it fails. Especially when it fails. Political conservatism is just one head of the beast; the deeper affliction is psychological conservatism—a preference for sameness, softness, symmetry. Leaders are chosen not by vision but by how well they imitate yesterday’s disaster.

Effort is performance. Originality is threat. Passion is pathology.

Anything too loud, too sharp, too sincere? It’s cut down fast. The culture whispers, “Don’t rock the boat,” and the electorate listens. They don’t want change—they want the illusion of change wearing a familiar face. They want the bastard they understand over the stranger who unsettles them with actual thinking. Don’t think too hard. Don’t feel too much. Don’t be real—be relatable.

This isn't a government. It’s a curated exhibit of controlled personalities.

You can be corrupt, callous, even cruel—as long as you don’t shout. But be too intense, too strange, too authentic? You’re a threat. Not because you’re wrong, but because you force a reckoning. You make people feel something they’ve spent years training themselves to avoid: discomfort. Self-reflection. Pain.

And they will crucify you for it. Quietly. Politely. Behind closed doors.

This isn’t logic. It’s aversion therapy with a national anthem.

Australians aren’t voting for leadership. They’re voting for sedation. The electorate selects reflections of its own suppression, its own damage. People shaped by trauma, schooling, and shame instinctively trust those who enforce the rules of numbness. Anyone who defies those rules becomes the enemy, no matter how right they are.

They don’t vote for hope. They vote for control.

And in this landscape, real visionaries bleed out in silence, mislabelled as unstable, inappropriate, or unfit—while the real dysfunction thrives in those polished, parasitic men who’ve mastered the performance of balance.

This is not balance. It’s...

the NSW Parliament House and Legislative Assembly is one that blends profound historical significance with the function of a modern working democracy. ​Review of NSW Parliament House and Legislative Assembly ​The Parliament House, located on Macquarie Street in Sydney, is the oldest public building still in use in Australia. Its history is fascinating, as the oldest parts of the building were originally constructed in 1816 as the northern wing of Governor Macquarie's 'Rum Hospital.' ​Highlights for Visitors: ​History and Architecture: The building offers a unique journey through time, contrasting the colonial-era heritage rooms and the historic Legislative Council chamber with the more modern, functional Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Assembly chamber, or lower house, is green in colour, following the British tradition. ​Public Access: Visitors can generally tour the building for free on non-sitting days or watch the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council from the public galleries on sitting days. ​Events and Amenities: The Parliament hosts various public programs, free guided tours, and even a "High Tea in the House" experience. There's also a public cafe and an exhibition space showcasing art. ​Overall, it's a deeply resonant site for anyone interested in Australian history, governance, and colonial architecture. It serves as a vital reminder that the seat of modern NSW democracy evolved from the earliest days of the colony. A friend and I attended the legislative assembly to watch the nsw greens leader Jenny Leong MP for Newtown introducing a private member's bill for a Human Rights Act for NSW. ​Context: This follows a notice of motion given back in March 2025. The Bill seeks to create a state-based Human Rights Act, a model that already exists in the ACT, Victoria, and Queensland. ​Support: The move is supported by a large alliance of over 100 peak and community organisations who are calling on the Parliament to refer the Bill for a comprehensive public inquiry and community consultation. ​Government Stance: The NSW Attorney General has previously indicated the government is "open to considering the issue and working constructively" on the proposal. ​Goal: Advocates argue that an Act is needed to provide stronger, more comprehensive legal protection for fundamental rights (including civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights) and to ensure that government actions and decisions are compatible with human rights principles. Very interesting 👌 to see how the legislative...

Most people who work here will sell you any public asset or service you want at the right price. Even the Police Minister and NSW Premier in previous occasions recently proved how dedicated they are to provide such great customer service. They were even willing to give up their careers to keep you business going. Don't worry about bad publicity for your company, they have their foot in all the local media. Property developers take note this place is amazing. You can buy state land anywhere: even if thousands of commuters travel and use a railway on it like previous customers in Newcastle or build a second casino right in the Sydney CBD with no public discussion or agreements required. This shop is fantastic and the experience...
