I hope it includes looking at councils who block livable apartments but give the green light to dog boxes.
That's why the Greens are having a Senate inquiry into intergenerational housing inequality. The Greens’ inquiry will interrogate the full scope of Australia’s intergenerational housing inequality, including the $181b tax breaks for wealthy investors locking out 1st home buyers.

This will be even more delicious if it backfires on David and he ends up being replaced instead.
In the wake of the Coalition's divorce, there are few options for besieged Opposition Leader Sussan Ley, who must again reshuffle her cabinet and return to parliament with a diminished Opposition.
What's next, as Liberals and Nationals go their own way?

I’m old enough to remember the Nats having a full-blown sook when Turnbull dared comment on Barnaby’s leadership after he knocked up his staffer. Now they feel entitled to comment on Liberal leadership. Funny, that.

From 2023. David McMahon is an Australian naturalist. He's on Instagram. David demonstrates how dangerous northern Australian crocs are. This is clear saltwater but if it was a muddy river you wouldn't know he/she was there. When David stands up the behaviour changes instantly.

I dont like wedge politics but every party with some power does it. Labor just seems to be better at it currently. Anyone pretending it was just the libs they wedged isnt an honest person either.
Putting aside the online tribalism for a moment its clear we will end up with new gun laws and new hate speech laws.

Larissas messaging is SO much better than David “CRINGING IN FEAR” Shoebridge‘s.
His sounds like the rantings of an aggressive man. Hers sounds like reasonable takes. Greens (and us by extension) are lucky shes the leader and not him.

Labor has dropped highly controversial hate speech laws but is still trying to get Coalition support for dangerous changes to the Migration Act and new powers for the Home Affairs Minister.
These changes are bad and the Greens stand with the community to oppose them.
