Clover Moore has been Lord Mayor of Sydney for twenty years. She was also an independent state politician for 34 years until rules were changed that disallowed being a Lord Mayor and a state politician.
She has always had a large gay fan base, and there are many reasons why. While Sydney is not my city, I have watched with interest over the years and generally she has performed well. She made a grave mistake by pushing for an underground power system for the city's new tram lines in a major street, rather than the trams collecting power from overhead wires, a system that has been around for a century plus. As the grumpy old gentlemen who have a technical interests in trams predicted, the below ground power system is unreliable and has led to many partial closures of the new tram system within the city.
Whatever, it is hard to imagine Sydney without Clover at the helm and she has quite a legacy of achievements. But as a shallow gay man, doesn't she just look fabulous at her age of 79.

If asked how old she was I wouldn't have put her anywhere close to 79. A long career and mostly for the good. I wonder who will replace her - and when.
ReplyDeleteShe looks fabulous. I hope her successor will be equally successful.
ReplyDeleteShallow or not, I agree she looks pretty good. I doubt that I shall wear so well.
ReplyDeleteShe looked like in her 50s
ReplyDeleteHer energy reminds me of Nancy Pelosi here in the USA, working for the people for many years and still going strong.
ReplyDeleteShe said this will be her last term in office but with elections just finished she has time to achieve a few more things.
ReplyDeleteShe's looking good, that's for sure
As someone equally shallow and equally gay, I wouldn't guess she's that old.
ReplyDeleteTwenty years has to be some kind of record, our lord Mayors don't last that long. She does look great for 79 and looks a little like my upstairs neighbour who arrived home (finally) two days after I celebrated her being gone so long😢
ReplyDeleteShe certainly is looking good for her age.
ReplyDeleteWhen our irc channel started in 1993, some Sydney members were referring to a Clover Moore. I had never heard of her then, but I have ever since.
ReplyDeleteShe looks fabulous, don't we all?
ReplyDeleteShe looks great for 79 and is very Stylish - ( stylish, is that a hopelessly old fashioned word these days?)
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
She looks fabulous--classy!
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous and having a fun name like Clover goes a long way with the gay community.
