Governments can and should buy and build public homes. Enough for all who want to live in one. It benefits the people who get to live in them AND stabilises the private rental market, in turn stabilising house prices.

Burgess’ speeches contain enough to cause a twinge of unease about the degree of confidence the government and citizens can have in the intelligence and information ASIO is providing. Thus, ministers should closely interrogate all advice from ASIO, and its reliability. #auspol #burgess #ASIO
ASIO's Mike Burgess and a lust for the limelight
In succumbing to a lust for the limelight, the ASIO director, Mike Burgess, is not making it easier for the government and citizens to retain confidence in him and the organisation he’s trying to run.

The govt’s environment laws ignore the biggest threat to nature - climate change. I’ve proposed several amendments, including requiring climate-related financial & transition risk disclosure as a consideration for all approvals, as well as embedding a duty of care for wellbeing of future generations

Nauru refugees. Indefinite detention a definite breach of High Court ruling - Michael West
Despite High Court ruling declaring indefinite detention of refugees unlawful, the Government is sending refugees back to Nauru.

This is a good lesson for Australia. If you can't do anything in a 3 year term, you can't do it in 4, or apparently 5. The problem is not the term length, the problem is the culture and incompetence of the politics of the people who rise to the top in our parties.

"The Liberal Party’s decided to abandon Australia’s net-zero by 2050 target" - They are really much more stoooooooopid than they look.

Australia’s aged care shame / sham. You get to your final years after having paid your dues, paid you taxes, only to then be discarded like a pair of old boots.

Trump got +$500,000,000 from AIPAC, and that’s why he’s allowing Israel to break ceasefire after ceasefire
In-fact, AIPAC have "lobbied" (bribed) at least 95% of the US parliament, and their influence stretches to social media platforms as well

Thanks to the Job Ready Graduates scheme, an arts degree today will cost over $50,000. How have five decades of government policy taken us from free education to this?

The Liberals are considering dropping net zero because they’re riven by internal dissent. They care more about polling than about policy - more about their own ambitions and donors than about their constituents and their country.
