The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Whitlam saw himself painting on a big canvas. Each brush stroke was bold and no stroke seemed too big a risk to take.
The contrast with the Albanese Government to the Whitlam Government 50 years earlier could hardly be more glaring

House prices have to fall if you seriously want more people to be able to afford them.
Agree with Andrew Bragg. And the people who have used the 5% deposit guarantee aren’t the only ones affecting prices - it’s the investors who rush in to catch a property before the rush.

People are exhausted. A few years ago, this would have been obvious it was fake, either meant as satire or just plain outrage fuel.
Now, we're hit many times a day with real atrocities. Eventually, everything can seem plausible, no matter how extreme.
