The housing market seems out of control. But there are lots of things we could do abc.net.au/news/2022-08-06/a…

I think my house earns more money than I do, and that's a big problem

The Australian dream is said to be owning a house, writes Daniel Ziffer, but what if we expanded it to our children being able to buy a home somewhere near the area where they grew up.

Education Minister James Merlino said schools would remain open so vulnerable children and children of essential workers had somewhere to go abc.net.au/news/2020-03-24/v…

At just $40 a day for many people, the rate of Newstart is too low. It’s so low that it stops people from finding work and pushes them into poverty. Will you join our campaign calling on Scott Morrison to increase Newstart? alp.org.au/increasenewstart #auspol
