Storm clean-up continues
The State Emergency Service responded to hundreds of calls for help yesterday as heavy rainfall pummelled Sydney and the Central Coast.
Parramatta's ferry wharf was swamped by floodwaters, causing services to be cancelled.
In Sydney's inner-west, Marrickville golf club recorded a month's worth of rain in two hours.
On the Central Coast, Wyong received 80mm of rain in an hour and drivers were stranded as roads flooded.
More rain is forecast this week, with the far north coast of NSW likely to see the heaviest falls.
Train services operate on reduced schedule
Train services across Sydney will operate on a reduced timetable until the end of week, after talks between the NSW government and the state's rail union.
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union says it is confident it can revert to a full timetable from next week, despite ongoing protected action.
It has been trying to negotiate a new enterprise agreement for staff since last May, when the previous agreement expired.
The NSW Transport Minister David Elliott said the government had withdrawn its action against the union in the Fair Work Commission on legal advice, as a show of "goodwill" ahead of the resumption of talks on workers' pay and conditions.
Private investigator to give evidence
Private investigator John McLeod is expected to be called as the next witness at the defamation trial of decorated war veteran Ben Roberts-Smith.
In previous evidence, the court has heard that Mr McLeod was hired by Mr Roberts-Smith in 2018 to follow his then-girlfriend to an abortion clinic.
Mr Roberts-Smith has given evidence that the woman told him she was pregnant but he didn't believe her and suspected he was being manipulated.
The Victoria Cross recipient is suing three newspapers, alleging he was defamed by false allegations of unlawful killings in Afghanistan, bullying and domestic violence, while Nine Entertainment is seeking to establish the articles were true.
