Will the government finally deliver a housing policy that stops making a bad situation worse? | Greg Jericho

I mean, after a week, I can confirm that while it’s usable, iOS 26 just kind of sucks. Battery life, UI, lag. If there was an easy roll-back, I’d do it immediately.

I had this iPhone for 3 years, and I haven’t had any major problems with it… until iOS 26 fucking liquid glass dropped.
My battery dies a little quicker than usual, it gets HOTTER than usual,
and it’s the most fucking ugliest UI I’ve ever seen in MY LIFE. NOTHING TOPS IT.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.
