In 2026, it is clear that the Aus housing crisis has stemmed directly from the inadequate leadership shown our politicians. For more than 2 decades, there has been widespread recognition of an impending crisis, yet we have witnessed, total inaction, self-interest, and a marked lack of competence.

When 15 people are massacred by terrorists in Bondi, Netanyahu blames Albanese - and the media follows his cue.
But Netanyahu commits mass murder and enforced starvation every day, and it’s silence from Albanese and our media (oh, except for a ceremonial invitation to Israel’s pres).
Pretty stark.

We spent a fortune holding a Royal Commission into Robodebt, an illegal government policy that harmed 1000s of Australians and led directly and indirectly to many deaths.
The end result?
Absolutely no consequences for the perpetrators. The evildoers remain protected.
RCs are a waste of time/💰.

I am amazed with all the evidence of the lies from the Israel IDF, the genocide and the blatant anti Palestine rhetoric from Israeli politicians our leaders can still champion a terrorist country!

It’s hard to take the Coalition’s calls for a Royal Commission into the Bondi incident seriously after they fiercely opposed a RC into their illegal Robodebt scheme, then refused to apologise even after the damning findings confirmed Australians lost their lives. #auspol

One wonders if the NSW Royal Commission findings into the horrific shooting on 14th Dec will highlight that the rise in antisemitism in Australia is primarily due to Netanyahu genocidal war??
Make this post one you watch and share today. And every day.
Understand Israel and Netanyahu are devious, aggressive, apartheid, colonialist, anti peace, anti Palestinian, anti humanity, but pro-war, pro-genocide.
He’s always been a liar and hateful cheat. Psychopath.
