Social Cohesion is defined “in the opposite”;

Monohesion;where one view only of “acceptable behaviour” is allowed,mandated and compulsorily followed

Ergo : Cohesion is many views being respected in that same context without being mandated nor compulsory
One leads to Fascism
One is a myth

Punishment without crime: bypassing the law to criminalise dissent A withdrawn charge is not a conviction. Yet across Australia, discontinued allegations are appearing on police checks, leaving individuals to defend themselves long after a case has collapsed.

It’s a very complex problem - capital gains tax is definitely part of the problem - so is negative gearing offset against non-property income - developers, re agents, state govs, lenders and rich property investors. All culpable. It’s a bubble.

Yes but designed( now) from the top down , not the bottom up , as had been the case prior to the “incentive” era predicated on “wealth” creation and not sustainable, affordable accommodation/ home ownership

“Abolish NG”
and suddenly the “serviceability”of the loan/s has increased risk ergo;

Less money from the “pool”

But,that “pool”money needs to be working/earning a return

So , where is the “demand” ?

First Home Buyers

Now …let’s discuss “availability” of affordable housing as the next issue

The “available pool” of money for housing mortgages is “controlled” by providers that use very sophisticated “risk assessment” tools to “channel” that money

The profile atm is simple ;

NG Applicants rated lower risk > provide more money

1st Home buyers rated higher risk > provide less money

It is a “start” ….not the rubicon , more like Schitt Creek,but now with some of the holes plugged in the canoe 🛶

Franking Credits and John Winston Fucking Howard’s “cash back”brain fart must “go” too

Gas,no not the flatulence type,but the export tax breaks must also go

Then at least - a paddle

The greatest threat to Labor is from within ….the repudiation of Party Platform for perceived short term “populist” accolades disenfranchises Party Activists at the root and branch level , advertises that , ultimately, the electoral platform is , at best, a possible roadmap for Govt if successful

Poss’ I too had a convo’ with senior Members of the then incoming Govt

I “suggested” that the Tories would “eat themselves” and therefore stop couching the “achievable” in single electoral terms

Additionally, whilst not all of Platform can be achieved in one go, don’t shit on it by ignoring it

Look to the rise of the , supposedly, Omnipotent Class controlling America through the vehicle of The Republican Party, the stripping away of economic and monetary controls,the abolition of Regulatory Agencies and the neutering of the Judiciary,or the “control/oversight if you will

Trickledown, based on “Smithian” economic doctrine and refined by free marketers at “The Chicago School” ushered in Reaganomics, bolstered Thatcher and emboldened Howard

Here’s the “rub”

Smith said that without “regulation and ethical controls” the system fails, must fail in fact

How true..

In Australia the systemic failures across these 4 pillars of a civil society can trace the causation of such intergenerational vandalism to Trickledown Economic Policy and the “Thatcherism” of John Winston Fucking Howard
Yet , many those most affected swallow the distraction of Hansen et-al

Public Policy , in Housing, Healthcare, Infrastructure and Education suffer the most when systemic failures in funding, scope and eligibility see such services fail basic standards or deteriorate to the point of ineffectiveness

Society as a whole suffers, fractures and , in many instances , fails
