Want to live in a single family detached house and drive everywhere, sure. Go and live in a small country town, which will have a strict growth boundary.

If we redesign Melbourne as below, going to need a lot of bulldozers. Draw a circle from approx Sandringham to Camberwell to Coburg to Sunshine. Bulldoze most of the single family houses inside and outside the ring, build 4-6 story apartment buildings inside the ring.

Currently the 2 way shared path enters no man's land at the level crossing. I thought it would be impossible to make that any worse.

I've been enjoying that pigface. Looks like it was planted?

You think this is the first time a complete a@hole has been given a State Funeral?

'Prof Donald Rothwell, an expert in international law at... [ANU], said Israeli defence companies like Elbit Systems were “directly implicated in Israel’s alleged acts of genocide in Gaza”.

“As such, Australia should not be engaged in any trade that supports that type of activity,” Rothwell said.'

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

I don't wait for mechanical failure! Just train and bike everywhere. What else to do in the endless low-density, car-dependent, hostile suburbs?

The Planning Amendment Bill needs the crossbench's support to pass.

Housing -- the need for humans to have safe, affordable, permanent shelter near services and public transport -- has been subverted into capitalist extractive industry. The wealthy and powerful are extorting the non-wealthy and less powerful. The system has been designed to work this way.

No flooding on MPCT.

I like the new site.

For AU that means replacing most of the the buildings.

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

Will it hold? New US rhetoric, but same Israel.

Israel has not only proven perfectly happy to break ceasefires at will, it will also be smarting from what cannot be described as anything other than a defeat.

When Britain aided Israel’s ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Palestine The UK’s responsibility for helping to resolve the current war in Gaza stems partly from its imperial past - when in 1948 it contributed to Israeli forces’ takeover of most of Palestine.

1948.

"The suppression of health advocacy in relation to what's happening to the Palestinian people is unprecedented."

A massive thanks to Dr Sue Wareham OAM for joining our Delivering Healthcare in Gaza webinar.

What would good policy be, going forwards? Bulldoze the sprawl?

Same applies to the Australian government which froze funding to UNRWA solely on the basis of unsubstantiated Israeli allegations. People died because of that.

Brisbane, like all AU cities, built vast, low density car based suburbs outside the tram network.

The new site is way more mobile friendly

I like not having to click on tiny links to get the radar I want. Just zoom the map. Then I can get the wind forecast by changing the layer.

You mean, launch their new site? Working for me.
