After about an hour of listening to the head of the property industry argue for more of the same when it comes to tackling the housing crisis, I couldn’t help but let my frustration boil over. I know many of us - the millions of Australians who rent - are feeling this same way.

Lad in the bar last night talking about another lad that left for Australia. He literally stepped off the plane onto the tarmac, didn’t like it, walked into airport and booked his ticket home. His friends now call him Boomerang 🪃 😂 😂 #Nicknames

Oh god! Another unsuspecting American tourist mistook a dropbear for a koala at the M1 at Elanora. Her remains were later found in the drop bear’s lair. When are they gonna learn!? Content Warning: Graphic Video!

As we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I’m reminded of my trip to Ireland in 2016 as vice president. The partnership between our two nations is historic and strong — and I look forward to renewing our bond during this afternoon’s bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
