When polled, Australians say 1/4 of our surplus should be spent building social housing. This is why a Citizens Assembly on housing is needed - to show government how important housing is and put some ideas back on the table. #housing #auspol theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Most evidence from big corporates is that companies are saving a fortune having some or all employees WFH (reduced absenteeism, reduced cost of providing offices, and increased productivity) so why shouldn’t wages be INCREASED based in this increased corporate profit?
FFS, Kennett has no place whatsoever in this discourse and the ABC are shunts for showcasing his rubbish.
Would you take a pay cut to work from home?
Former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett is proposing public servants who work remotely should be paid less than those that have no choice but to commute — such as nurses and teachers.

Let’s make it clear to the US that he has the full support of the Australian community.
Can you join us and reach out to the Ambassador?

🤦
@Bowenchris's latest spin is like watching Stuart Robert arguing that he was obliged to lie about Robodebt to hold the cabinet line

Trying to pretend #LongCovid is a "syndrome" defined by a salad of a few symptoms reduces costs, hugely, for healthcare services and insurance companies. It risks leaving millions without access to care, disability benefits, and any available treatments.

The problem is that people with questions get silenced and, therefore, questions + discussion doesn’t happen. It’s never a good idea to silence healthcare professionals, but that is what’s happening.

It's just such a mystery that every condition that is predicted to rise as a consequence of Covid infection is rising after a couple of years of widespread covid infection.
IT'S ALL JUST SUCH A MYSTERY.

While planet earth soared to record air and sea temperatures Australian media was dominated by:
✅ Submarine tourism tragedy kills 5
✅ Taylor Swift tickets sold out
✅ Game of cricket controversy
Crop failures, water shortages, fire, flood, war. Climate catastrophe coming at us like a freight train and the media is in La-la land.

So Labor’s Nature Repair Market is on the long sleep. Hopefully it’s dead, it’s a dreadful proposal. But the environment needs significant investment to drive conservation & restoration *now*, & it’s entirely affordable! Maybe Labor could just make it so? theguardian.com/commentisfre…
