anti-trans rhetoric is bad faith nonsense all the way down
It's fascinating how "the transes went too far" is a kind of floating timeline thing, always placed in the relatively recent past. e.g. Helen Lewis here dating the "over-reach" to after Bostock (June 2020). But she was already decrying the "imperial over-reach of... trans activists" in Jan 2019.

Thanks Albo and the ALP for pushing prices up higher and flooding the market with more investors. Here they are boasting about being "back in force", as prices skyrocket. Max Chandler-Mather and the Greens were entirely correct. You can't improve affordability without ending their tax breaks.

This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.
