Housing first works
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

We are pleased to announce our cooperation with Ukraine to further scientific research and military capability. The Russians may have coerced dolphins, but we freely work with Ukraine in the name of science and democracy.

A good read from Amnesty Australia about your rights if protesting - President Herzog (AKA Signer of Bombs that Blow Up Children and Assistant in a Genocide). Yes the Minns government announced draconian rules but its not unlawful to protest tomorrow

So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.

Costello & Howard set up this disaster, in '97. Announced they would tax capital gains (ie speculation) at half the rate of tax on wages and salaries. Dawn of the grifter age. 30 years of ridiculous property speculation since, and here we are: our 30-something kids can't afford homes or families.
Who cares what they think? Their opinions are no longer relevant nor wanted. Both cgt concessions and negative gearing need reforming as soon as possible. #auspol

Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges was released 53 years ago today and it changed my life. For me, it was the first album that sounded like what rock and roll should be. Hearing it, I suddenly felt less alone in the world.

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.
