Wow! 😮 Make an arrest. Make an arrest now. NSW Police asked to do their job, and quite frankly, it seems more than reasonable comment given what’s shown here:

Australian politicians might want to look at banning algorithms that set rents and price fix. A practice America has now banned due to its anti-competitive and predatory approach to tenants incomes as theirs to gouge. Housing is a vital need, but not the only expense in people’s lives. #housing

Rape of a 14 year old is no better than the rape of an 8 year old.

Linguistic/technical distinctions about horrid crimes, when mentioned by non-specialists in general argumentation, are usually made as attempts to downplay the horrors of the awful crimes. 😡

🤬🤬🤬

I was 14 when I was sexually abused by the paedo at my parents’ church.

It doesn’t matter that I wasn’t 8 or under. He was close to 40 and I was 14.

He did the same thing to girls of the same age for years.

Fuck him and anyone who thinks me being 14 instead of 8 makes him not a paedo. 🖕

I think my thumb has a scrolling injury.

The mayor of Tamworth Council is a very old mate of Barnaby Joyce's and a National party member

No surprises this backward collection of red-necks drags their council to court on their ratepayers' money to oppose a wind farm - and even then can't get their legal arguments right

BTW: people are asking why things were done that seem dumber than dog, um, output.

I’ve been around long enough to remember exactly how it happened.

Follow the funding (or, rather, the lack thereof).

Is your landlord and real estate ignoring asbestos? Make sure they’re not. Lives depend on this.

When you live in a property with asbestos you tend to care about safe work practices, but when it’s tenants, apparently it’s not so important. 🤬 #asbestos #auspol

Shocking.

And JobSeeker to at least as much.

Believe it or not, you’re better off as a JobSeeker in the US than in Australia.

100% thank you. ❤️

This is such a hunbling read. We're all just one or two life events away from losing everything. Never assume it can't be you. Heart goes out to Alison and anyone else living in financial hardship. Govt priorities are out of kilter with realities. Not good enough.

Good to hear. I could too. I don’t think this one is PAYwalled.

I seem to live in a sea of unexpected setbacks, constantly needing more resources than I have to respond. Staying true to yourself helps save me. I know I am a good person doing my best, deserving better. The system is breaking people: wilfully it seems. 😔 #housing #bills #RaiseTheRate #HousingNOW

It’s really concerning to know a couple of unexpected situations can break you.
I’m on that fine line constantly.

Good to hear talk of #JobSeeker being raised today. To more than the 67% it currently is of the aged pension. Acknowledging that poverty ends up costing a lot more than just the lives affected. If we #RaiseTheRate we boost the economy, livelihoods and SAVE $$! #auspol #EndPovertyInAustralia #Housing

When it comes to the housing crisis, we've hit the trifecta The Australian housing crisis continues to bite as a new report shows the median rental value across our capital cities is now $702 a week.

www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

The#HousingCrisis is well and truly upon us. No action to date is addressing the incentivised hyperinflation of this market, and we now have the #HousingTrifecta for generational wealth to flourish. Too bad if you miss out? 😡 #AffordableHousingNow #auspol

I’m very sorry about that. For some reason I was able to read it. ?? 🤔 Hate that. Here’s another one about #poverty and how not measuring it across multiple factors leaves so many people behind. #auspol #RaiseTheRate

There but for .... go too many of us.

Renewable Energy Is Booming Despite Trump’s Efforts to Slow It

This #NYT article highlights that #renewables and #battery tech are on the brink of a boom. Even with shifting policies, momentum is strong and the clean energy revolution looks set to keep powering ahead 🌱⚡ #RenewablesRising #CleanEnergyFuture #HopeInAction

Poverty is about more than income, but that is all we measure We get detailed measurements of population, participation and productivity. Advocates want to add a fourth "p" — poverty — so we can understand our economy.

Australia doesn’t have a set poverty line. Since the early seventies the cost of living, housing inflation and wages have all been leaving workers and people behind for investors and the wealthy. Not seeing poverty as structural means we are harming people. #auspol

Behind the mask, I am the hidden face of poverty in WA Increasingly in WA, poverty looks like me: a 67-year-old grandmother who once ran a thriving business, owned a home, and raised two sons surrounded by love and opportunity.

As Anti-Poverty weeks begin in Australia, for those affected by it, it’s a long journey of loss.

Loss of security, home, safety, health and dignity.

The #masks many must wear may fool you. #StructuralInequality and #homelessness is unacceptable. #auspol 😔 🏠

100%.
We must act to ensure everyone can afford #housing. Currently the median income earner is entering rental or mortgage stress either renting OR paying off a new mortgage. 40 year mortgages. Retirees using Super post to pay down loans. Low income: on the streets! 😡 #auspol

Rent controls are needed, as is the slowing down of the things that are causing rapid and unsustainable inflation. Addressing the CGT and incentives to property owners to keep reinvesting - they have made it a market no one else has access to now. More public housing built/ acquired asap. #housing
