Lewis Hobba in last week's podcast had a great point — that Labor is hedging on every issue.
They simultaneously have Bow3n out here saving the planet while Watt is out here allowing more methane processing than ever.

Husic, who oversaw CSIRO cuts as the former science minister, said some in government see scientific agency funding as a ‘cost’ not an ‘investment’

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) announced on Wednesday it would look to cut between 300 and 350 research unit roles as part of efforts to narrow its research scope and address an ageing property portfolio in need of urgent modernisation. Continue reading...

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?

If economists were serious about boosting housing affordability, they would be strongly advocating for reforms to assist cooperative housing, so challenging bank lending rules, their inflexible& unjustified restrictions on lending on sub 50m2 apartments.

Good advice.
Once that is done you could also add “support housing cooperatives”, or anything that can bypass the need for private profits.
One day the message will get through that market housing isn’t the way to housing affordability.
