With further rate cuts anticipated in (or before) 2026, we are apparently entering another price rise cycle that spells bad news for anyone looking to enter the market. #auspol #housing

Text: This isn't Gaza today, it's Yafa in 1948. No Hamas, no October 7. Just the same story repeating itself: erase, then occupy. Photograph depicts Yafa (aka Jaffa) reduced to rubble in 1948, during the Nakba.

Erase, then occupy. Zionist Israel has been doing this for decades. #Nakba #Yafa aka #Jaffa #IsraeliTerrorism
