Labor gave $6 million of taxpayer money to a golf club in Albanese's electorate. Helen Haines asked why. Her electorate was one of 45 that weren't even invited to apply for the $560 million program. Labor seats took almost 3 quarters of it. Labor's answer was a dirt sheet on her. A dirt sheet doesn't argue the point. It tells everyone the person asking is a hypocrite and a hack, someone not worth listening to. It gets slipped to journalists so nobody's name is on it and the question gets buried under the person. Do that to enough people and politics stops being about policy, it becomes about who the enemy is. In 2007 Albanese had even stood up in parliament and tore into the Howard government for running a secret dirt unit. Now ASIO is warning about rising tensions, Helen Haines is in hospital after losing a leg and the PM all of a sudden wants everyone to cool down.

Sydney resi vacancy rates are rising across all key measures. Still low, but consistent with early evidence of softer rents growth in the city.

The Federal Government is still addicted to consultants - and even signed more than 30 contracts worth over $20 million with KPMG after its ethical concerns became public. And that’s just the start of the problem . region.com.au/federal-govern…

I wonder why the property council doesn’t want to reduce international students. Quote from their ceo during Covid -
Angus Taylor's migration policy has managed to unite the Business Council, the Chamber of Commerce, the Property Council and the Queensland LNP Premier- all against him. Instead of winning PHON votes, he’s just lost more Lib ones. Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

This Woollahra Councillor seems in disbelief that rents there are going up by 10% per year, but the data is clear. We need our housing policy to be governed by people who work off facts, not anecdotes.

Lots of catching up with official data it seems for Australia
The Global Property Supercycle Has Finally Broken: China, New Zealand, Canada—and Now Australia. The Four Horsemen escaped the last property bust. This time, they may be the epicentre of the next one.

"Las mujeres pierden en promedio 7.3 horas de tiempo libre al casarse, mientras que los hombres ganan 2.9. El descuido encarna una relación asimétrica de poder en la que se violenta la dignidad de otras personas al imponerles responsabilidades de cuidado." lacaderadeeva.com/voces/padr…

Rent in Madrid has risen by 80% in A DECADE. Protestors are saying: “Either the rentier economy falls, or the government does.” Mass protests. Encampments. Going after the landlords. VICTORY TO THE TENTS! WAR ON THE LANDLORDS! Madrid first. London next!

People in Barcelona have joined Madrid to protest against evictions and call for housing laws to protect tenants. This seems now to be becoming a national movement across Spain!!!

Good start but needs to escalate to more direct action imo. The first western government that commits to a china-style policy of deliberate housing price deflation will be beloved by their citizens. That country will also enjoy an economic renaissance as capital is reallocated.
The protests in Madrid that started against evictions and the housing crisis are expanding. Many are setting up encampments in places like Puerta Del Sol. This seems to be the start of something big.

Wealth = the ability to satisfy human wants and needs. Instead of wealth, tax land ownership since land price speculation produces ZERO goods or service and only keeps the cost of living as high as possible. Land tax makes land cheaper; taxing wealth reduces the quality of life.

People cannot imagine how blessed I feel to be able to return to Indonesia, the place where my husband and I raised our kids for six years, among people I loved so much. Orang Indonesia, aku banget kangen kalian! Semoga bisa ketemu lagi sama temanteman di Ubud dan Jakarta!
Francesca Albanese is an international lawyer, scholar, and UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967. Albanese knows that action means saying the hard thing plainly, and saying it again.

New data shows Australians on JobSeeker are up to 10 times more likely to die than those not on welfare support. Living in poverty has severe health impacts, and the JobSeeker rate is about 45% BELOW the poverty line. #auspol @GrogsGamut
