Read our privacy policy The fate of Sydney’s world-famous New Year’s Eve fireworks display hangs in the balance this year, police say, due to industrial action by rail unions. "Each year, we police New Year’s Eve on the basis that 250,000 people can come into the city and then safely leave the city," Ms Webb said. The NSW government has promised to take “very possible measures” so that Sydney’s train network is not disrupted for commuters over Christmas and New Year’s. It has lodged a request for the Fair Work Commission to terminate industrial action “to protect New Year’s Eve and stop rail disruption”.
