Australia’s housing market isn’t a ladder, it’s a Ponzi scheme.
The new “first home buyer” plan just feeds the property lobby while renters queue in Bondi.
End negative gearing. Scrap CGT perks. Tax Airbnb rorts. Everyone knows how to fix it. No one’s got the guts.

If the government and judiciary don’t back you up, then regardless of what the law “says” as a citizen you don’t have any rights
Laws and rights are not things that exist independently of the people in power
They are statements and conditions that are upheld only if power so chooses

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.
Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

The Stats Guy: 5 years on, this is how Australia changed since Covid.
In the past 5 years, Australia recorded 942,000 deaths — 100,000 more than pre-pandemic. Of these, 20,000–30,000 are considered “excess deaths due to Covid.”

If you’re wondering how batshit bananas he has to be to claim, without any evidence, that Tylenol causes autism, let’s not forget his other proclamations:
“Windmills cause cancer”
“Injecting bleach cures Covid”
“UV light cures Covid”
“Summer cures Covid”
“Covid will get bored and go away”

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
