Australia has a politician problem: not too many, but too few.

There are nine times the number of voters than in 1903, but the number of MPs has only doubled. Maybe it's time for our representative democracy to get a bit more representative?

“Why the Hottest 100 results are bad news for the Coalition.”

Something something ageing demographics. Something something Red Bridge.

The deeply personal reasons Australians are calling themselves YIMBYs Australia's YIMBY movement is relatively new, but it is making an impact and each member has their own housing struggle spurring them on.

Join me in supporting the Build Woollahra station, and a big TOD next to it Campaign There is a ghost station between Edgecliff and Bondi Junction. In the 1970s space was dedicated for Woollahra station, but it was never completed because local NIMBYs took it to the High Court. We're ...

Did you know there's an abandoned half-built station in the eastern suburbs?

@sydney.yimby.au have launched a petition to have Woollarah Station finally built. The population in that area has been going backwards so it's a great opportunity for more TOD.

Revealed: The Sydney suburbs bracing for sweeping housing changes More than 100 major housing proposals have been advanced by a three-person authority since its first meeting in February. This is where they could be built.

Always the way though isn’t it? Try to involve the local communities and the loudest financially and time rich people scream no so nothing gets built.

NSW Labor is a first term government doing something similar. Maybe bypassing councils is a good idea?
