Picture a GP clinic in western Sydney. Nadia*, 34, is back for her third script of the year. She started getting panic attacks after her landlord hiked the rent several times. Each time she feared the next eviction notice would push her, her partner and two kids into homelessness. The doctor adjusts her dose, offers a mental-health plan, but there’s something else that could also help Nadia – access to secure and affordable housing.
The data is now overwhelming: a recent rental affordability index labelled every capital city in Australia “critically unaffordable” for anyone on the minimum wage in 2024. One million low-income households already spend more than 30% of their earnings on shelter.

Opinion | Jillian Segal's plans to combat antisemitism will silence academic speech at Australian universities. As writer and lecturer Na'ama Carlin writes, it is already difficult to express pro-Palestine views without fear of sanction.

🚨🚨🚨 Rep. Wasserman Schultz just toured “Alligator Alcatraz” and came out shaking: “It’s 34 people per cage. They drink, brush, and defecate in the same tiny unit. The photos don’t come close to the stench of it.”
We’re packing human beings into kennel conditions, then calling it justice.

It’s almost 2yrs since the day Commissioner Catherine Holmes handed down her final report on Robodebt & referred those responsible for criminal prosecution. It was a day we felt like finally something was happening.
I’m so sorry to all victims who are STILL waiting for justice.

In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

In this administration, who gets to be the victim?
On the right, it seems to be the white woman who leads a government agency ruthlessly deporting immigrants, while a Latino senator is dragged out for approaching her, and a Black congresswoman is indicted for protesting ICE.

The "delicate, beautiful, tiny" fascism of Kristi Noem
The right thinks Noem is the victim of Sen. Padilla's assault. But what about Rep. McIver?

Republican senators call for investigation into Signal leak as intelligence chiefs deny breaking law – US politics live
More messages from the group chat were made public on Wednesday, showing top Trump officials discussing the attack on Yemen
The private data of top security advisers to US President Donald Trump can be accessed online, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported on Wednesday, adding to the fallout from the officials’ use of a Signal group chat to plan airstrikes on Yemen.
Mobile phone numbers, email addresses and in some cases passwords used by national security adviser Mike Waltz, defense secretary Pete Hegseth, and director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard can be found via commercial data-search services and hacked data dumped online, it reported. It is not clear in all cases how recent the details are. Continue reading...
