Blatantly Partisan Party Review VII (NSW 2023): Elizabeth Farrelly Independents

Prior reviews: none, this is a new party.

Where do I start with Elizabeth Farrelly. There was a point a few years ago where I would often sleep in of a weekend and log on to Twitter to find some baffling new discourse, which invariably turned out to be because Farrelly had published another ridiculous column in the Sydney Morning Herald. She had—and has—a particular propensity to piss off urbanists with her NIMBY anti-density views, but her takes on culture and lifestyle were equally good fodder for a solid day’s discourse and in-jokes. It’s hard to convey the depth of eye-rolling Farrelly induces if you didn’t participate in the social media banter about her columns of the late 2010s.

Farrelly’s tenure at the Sydney Morning Herald ended in bizarre circumstances in 2021. In the Strathfield local government elections, she registered for campaign finance purposes with the NSW Electoral Commission as a candidate for the Labor Party, although she was ultimately not chosen to be a Labor candidate; by her telling, she was simply interested in standing for the party either at that election or at state or federal level later. Farrelly did not run in the 2021 local elections, but she did criticise non-Labor candidates in her column without disclosing her affiliation, and the SMH’s editor Bevan Shields (another name to make you roll your eyes firmly if you’re SMH-adjacent) abruptly terminated her employment when he found out.

Ultimately, not only did Farrelly fail to get Labor preselection at local level, she stood against them as an independent at the 2022 by-election for the state seat also called Strathfield. She came third on primary votes—a distant third (9.85%) to the majors (41.05% ALP, 36.24% Liberal) but ahead of the Greens (6.67%). This seems to have made her sufficiently confident to attempt a tilt at state politics. After all, if she could replicate 9.85% statewide, she and her second candidate would both win seats—but rarely can anyone turn modest popularity in their home electorate into anything approximating statewide appeal.

What does Farrelly and her independent grouping actually stand for? They explicitly say they are “not a political party” (despite the fact they’re registered as one), but it is not clear the extent to which two hypothetical parliamentarians would be expected to work together. The platform that Farrelly and her independents share has three main planks: climate action, honest government, and liveable communities.

The climate action policy is pretty decent: net zero commitment for 2030, energy efficient building standards, moving away from mining fossil fuels, getting rid of draconian laws that stop climate protests, all that sort of stuff. The honest government policy is more mixed. Positively, it would strengthen ICAC’s ongoing financial position so that its base funding does not become subject to the whims of government. I’m concerned the proposal to stop “jobs for mates” goes too far—I’m happy with MPs being restricted from moving directly into jobs related to their former portfolios, but Farrelly also wants to stop them from taking any job in other specific sectors for three years: mining, energy, development, gambling, racing. These all just seem to be sectors she’s personally suspicious of, rather than any clear overarching rationale. It would mean an MP could get a job for a trucking company—despite how much the road lobby has skewed Australian transport policy towards unsustainable car-centric choices—but not with a renewable energy company.

The third plank, “liveable communities”, sounds nice until you realise that its contents are what you get when you have full-blown NIMBY brain. Farrelly proclaims to be a lover of cities, but it seems that what she loves is to put cities in aspic. She talks extensively about “over-development”, despite the fact Australia’s cities are horrendously sprawling and that it would be more efficient to start building up and to boost density along existing corridors. There’s a classic NIMBY trick of opposing public transport proposals because existing housing is insufficiently dense and opposing housing developments because there is no public transport, and Farrelly’s played both cards while also citing “heritage” to oppose a range of projects. I’m a historian by profession but I am no fan of how “heritage” often gets cited to protect vast swathes of wealthier suburbs—rather than protecting specific buildings and other historical objects of enduring value, it has often been used to boost property values, enforce certain aesthetic preferences, and keep out imagined "undesirables" (there is a part of the NIMBY brain that bafflingly equates apartments with slums).

It’s hard to imagine how NSW can boost its housing stock and make it affordable when Farrelly wants to implement every possible planning restriction and heritage overlay in the book. Planning processes already skew strongly towards the most conservative, change-averse local residents who have the time, money, and networks to participate, while younger, busier, and poorer residents are either unable to do so or unaware they even can—and prospective future residents get no say at all.

This is easily my longest review of the election, and I’m holding back from an even more sustained critique of the kind of regressive urban planning perspectives that Farrelly champions. I’m passionate about making cities better places to live: more walkable, more PT, more green spaces, more cafes and retail, and more homes, all in a more compact space. These things require density and a readiness to accept that the fabric of cities must keep evolving. Farrelly has some nice lingo but it is all in service to a NIMBY agenda that I do not believe would improve Sydney or any other part of NSW.

Farrelly would lean left on a range of environmental and social issues, and she and her associated independents would be much better than a lot of the rabble contesting the election, but I am on the whole unenthused.

Recommendation: Give Elizabeth Farrelly Independents a middling preference.

What next?

The NSW State Election is nearing. The Australian Federal Election definitely had the best outcome possible with a change of government and a concerned group of representatives on the Lower House cross bench. The actual outcome though in terms of climate action and the reduction in fossil fuel emissions is not as good as it could be. That however is for another post.

But what of the NSW State Election? It's a very bland and dire field of individuals we have available to represent us. I'm not seeing anything earth shattering in change or vigour of passion and spirit. The one light I see is Elizabeth Farrelly, who is running as an independent for the Upper House. Trying to hold off the push from One Nation in the Upper House who polling shows they could take 5 seats and hold the balance of power!

I'm old enough to remember when Fred Nile held the balance of power and all manner of religious concessions to legislation was passed just to appease Fred Nile. Terrible stuff.

It's 3 weeks till the election. We need to be asking questions of our candidates to see what real change they will make on our behalf if elected.

We are living in a moment of mass climate rallies and extinction rebellion. It is time for Australia to shift its national mindset, just a little, to recognise nature as a 'significant other' worthy of our genuine respect. It's time we recognised, as does the new Swedish legislation, that nature has an inherent right to 'exist, flourish, regenerate and evolve'. And well past time we understand that this recognition holds the key to our own survival.

Arzunun olmadığı bir dünya sönükleşir. Grip olup da tat alma duyunuzu yitirmeniz bile sizi her türlü istek ve amaçtan mahrum bırakmaya yetebilir. İşte bu yüzdendir ki Freud, Nirvana ilkesi olarak adlandırdığı arzu duymama isteğini ölümle ilişkilendirmiştir. Yine bu yüzdendir ki Aziz Augustinus, o ünlü duasında, Tanrı'dan kendisini erdemli ve ölçülü kılmasını isterken, "Ama hemen değil," diye de eklemiştir.

anyway yes i AM super defensive of brutalism as an architectural movement and also of brutalist buildings as potentially having artistic historical and cultural significance and deserving preservation. no i would not want to live in a city made entirely of brutalist buildings, i think they can be quite unfriendly and depressing and unpleasant to exist within, but i think a couple of brutalist buildings mixed in with other architectural styles, or maybe softened with the addition of some vegetation or a mural, can be really lovely and visually interesting. i think it’s a huge shame that city councils are often very ready to tear down brutalist buildings and replace them with more modern buildings (which are often also quite ugly in a different way, but don’t have the saving grace of being interesting or retro or unique), but don’t stop to consider that what we currently think of as an outdated eyesore might become very important and historically significant in the not too distant future. like, they won’t get the chance to become part of a city’s heritage if you keep tearing them down!

#yes the planned redevelopment of the sirius building in sydney was a formative moment for me #i think that if a building is old enough then people will be like. well that's History and it's important and we have to keep it #can't go tearing down victorian townhouses #we can sell those for money #but that doesn't seem to apply to somewhat newer buildings #which will BECOME history if you give them some time. #i also think that variety in architecture is good and important #and a couple of 'ugly' buildings scattered around will give a place character. #damn i have a lot of opinions about architecture and urban design for somebody who knows NOTHING about these things #i was allowed to read too many elizabeth farrelly columns in the newspaper as a child.

‘A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES’ SEASON 2 REVIEW: UPHOLDING SHADOW OF THE NIGHT’S SPIRIT

Spoilers Below.

A Discovery of Witches Season Two, written by Kate Brooke, Tom Farrelly, Charles James, and Sarah Dollard, keeps the All Souls Trilogy second book’s spirit while creating something unique, leaving viewers desperate to see more.

Season 2 is directly based on Shadow of the Night by Deborah Harkness. British Vampire Matthew Clairmont and American witch Diana Bishop travel back to Elizabethan London to hide from the Congregation. Meanwhile, in the present, their families try to find a way to make sure the couple is safe. Matthew and Diana need to find the Book of Life to stop daemons, vampires, and witches from dying out.

Diana is a true feminist hero. Since her parents died, she has refused to embrace her witch nature. Instead, she dove into the world of history. She is a historian who studies alchemy and science. Even the little spells that Diana’s Aunts, Sarah Bishop and Emily Mather, taught her as a child were significant failures.

Last season, Diana discovered that her father, Stephen Proctor bound her powers to protect his daughter from the greedy witch Peter Knox. When she started to fall in love with Matthew, her abilities began to manifest. After fellow witch Satu accidentally broke the binding spell, Aunt Sarah and Aunt Emily still struggled to teach her spells.

In Season 2, Diana realizes she can’t learn spells because she is a “weaver.” Weavers are a subset of witches that can create their own spells, but they can’t do anything magical if the spell is created by somebody else. In Elizabethan England, weaver elder Goody Alsop teaches Diana the ten knots that allow her to develop spells and summon her familiar firedrake Corra. By fully embracing her witch nature, Diana takes back control of her life.

Last season, Diana needed protection because her powers only came out during dire situations. Now she refuses to let Matthew be her “protector.” The couple forms a true partnership.

When Diana and Matthew visit his father, the ancient vampire Phillipe de Clermont in Sept-Tours (France), the witch is tested multiple times. Phillipe brings the witch Monsieur Andre Champier to Diana while she is reading in his library. Champier is drawn to Sept-Tours because he can sense her great power. He tries to break into Diana’s head to steal all her memories. Diana’s mind flashes to images of her saving Matthew’s life and when she accidentally summoned witch wind at the Bodleian Library.

Champier realizes a vampire drank from her. She screams in pain when the male witch tries to remove her memories. Matthew hears her screams. He runs faster than light to Diana’s aid. When he enters the room, she summons one of his daggers. Diana stabs Champier in the heart, proving that she doesn’t need anybody’s protection. Phillipe now knows that the Clairmont family can trust his son’s great love with their secrets because Diana won’t let herself be compromised.

Matthew forgives himself and realizes that he is worthy of love. His vampire mother a.k.a. sire, Ysabeau de Clermont, is a blood rage carrier. This genetic disease causes loss of control and violent impulses triggered by strong negative emotions like rage. Over the centuries, Matthew has gained control of his blood rage. But when he is forced back to the Elizabethan court as Matthew Roydon, the vampire’s homicidal tendencies are re-awoken.

Roydon is a spy for the British royal court, cruel inquisitor, and Phillipe’s executioner. He kills the Scottish witch Thomas Caldwell to save him from further torture. Elizabeth II is afraid that Caldwell and all the other witches are no longer loyal to the British Crown. Matthew remains haunted by the fact that he mercifully killed his father Phillipe during World War Two. Nazi witches tortured Phillipe to the point of permeant physical and mental damage. Seeing his father again is painful for Matthew because he has never forgiven himself. Guilt brings the blood rage bubbling up to the surface when Phillipe tries to get Matthew to tell him his future. Matthew’s father won’t stop beating him with a sword until he becomes a raging animal. The son refuses to tell Phillipe anything.

Diana’s acceptance of everything Matthew is, including the blood rage, allows the two to mate and marry. Mating makes Matthew overly protective of Diana, but the two creatures create a true partnership.

Season 2 leaves viewers with a small mystery for the final installment of A Discovery of Witches. The show changes several details from the original text Shadow of the Night. One of the more minor changes is that Mary Sidney commissions two small portraitures of Matthew and Diana as gifts in the book. Matthew orders the portraitures for their adopted son Jack Blackfriars, a former street urchin in the television show. Before traveling to Sept-Tours, the couple leaves the paintings with Jack to comfort him. During modern times, Marcus Whitmore (Matthew’s vampire son) tries to buy the portraitures from an auction house, but they are stolen before he picks them up.

Meanwhile, treacherous vampire Domenico has been tracking a series of murders in Oxford, Cambridge. A vampire commits these murders in a blood rage. From the third book in the trilogy, The Book of Life, I know that Father Hubbard turns Jack into a vampire when he is a young man. In the present day, Hubbard’s sire Benjamin Fuchs tricks Jack into killing humans in a failed attempt to sire vampires and controls the young man by dangling Matthew in front of him. Jack’s extreme blood rage makes him easy to manipulate.

My theory is that Jack is the one who stole the portraitures since they technically belong to him. The young vampire would want to be closer to his “parents.” Like the third book, Jack murders humans in Oxford because he is under Benjamin’s control.

Breve commento sugli Oscar:

Miglior film Green Book di Peter Farrelly

Big no! Sembra di vedere A spasso con il “negro” (la usano loro la parola eh). Film buonista, noioso. Viggo che fa il danese che fa l’americano, che fa l’italiano. Qualcuno faccia un corso di gestualità ad Hollywood per cortesia.

Regista Alfonso Cuarón per Roma Concordo, gran film, amore totale.

Attrice protagonista Olivia Colman per La favorita Perfetta, una perfomance da brividi. Riesce a rendere,  in un passaggio di sguardi in primo piano, il dolore di una donna devastata da 17 parti e altrettanti lutti.

Attore protagonista Rami Malek per Bohemian Rhapsody E’ bravo, che gli vuoi dire.

Attore non protagonista Mahershala Ali per Green Book Bah.

Attrice non protagonista Regina King per Se la strada potesse parlare (non l’ho visto)

Miglior canzone Shallow da A Star Is Born di Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando, Andrew Wyatt and Benjamin Rice Fan della Gaga da sempre (film dimenticabilissimo)

Colonna sonora Black Panther di Ludwig Goransson Tra i film in nomination ci può stare.

Sceneggiatura non originale BlacKkKlansman di Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, Kevin Willmott, Spike Lee (non l’ho visto)

Sceneggiatura originale Green Book di Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie, Peter Farrelly Mavadavialculo

Effetti visivi First Man Altro film di una noia mortale, esteticamente però niente da dire. Film d'animazione Spider-Man: un nuovo universo di Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman Si si si.

Montaggio Bohemian Rhapsody di John Ottman Stiamo scherzando? La sequenza di Wembley è una cosa da sberle. Il montaggio di Roma (o quello di Suspiria, lo so che piace solo a me) sono di un altro pianeta.

Film straniero Roma di Alfonso Cuarón Tutto quello che vuoi Alfonso, io ti amo.

Suono Bohemian Rhapsody di Paul Massey, Tim Cavagin and John Casali Montaggio sonoro Bohemian Rhapsody di John Warhurst Queste gliele concedo, il lavoro di pulitura delle canzoni è ottimo.

Fotografia Roma di Alfonso Cuarón Anni e anni con Lubezki si vedono. Bravo

Scenografia Hannah Beachler per Black Panther Costumi Ruth E. Carter per Black Panther Ecco io qui dire che The Favourite meritava di più, ma in effetti sono stati bravi.

Trucco e parrucco Greg Cannom, Kate Biscoe e Patricia Dehaney per Vice (non l’ho ancora visto ma Christian Bale si trasforma da solo)

Documentario Free Solo di Jimmy Chin, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi

Fuck yeah! Piango di gioia.
