Would love an outright ban on holiday homes. Beautiful houses that could be permanent homes lying idle and unoccupied for most of the year is madness.

So Tasmania could be stuck with four ferries, with only two operational. We could still be paying berthing fees. All the while TT-Line is getting further into debt. #politas

To Premier Malinauskas, @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social & co.,
Thanks to divisive and prejudiced comments about Randa Abdel-Fattah it's encouraged me to buy her book, as have many others.
I’m sure she’d prefer publicity any other way, but you’re helping more people learn about bigotry & hate. #Auspol

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Mamdani is such an extraordinary political talent.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
