Australians have been and continue to be hoodwinked, bamboozled, and led astray by this racist and classist system - a system built on the dispossession and genocide of First Nations peoples, the exploitation of convict labour, the White Australia Policy, stolen wages, stolen children,

I could be fined $22,000 or jailed for 2 years for protesting our government selling our future to fossil fuel billionaires who pay no tax and torch our planet.

They call this a democracy.
I call it corporate rule.

$600 million could’ve built 3,000 homes, powered 50k rooftops, or funded aged care pay rises. Instead, it props up a mining giant that dodges tax. Albanese is such a cunt!

They cant even fix school funding.

Pearls and Irritations @johnmenadue.com · 20h

Public schools will be heavily underfunded in each year until 2034. The cumulative underfunding is estimated at a massive $34.6 billion. #auspol #schoolfunding

New school funding agreements deny full funding for public schools

The claim by the prime minister, premiers and their education ministers that public schools will be fully funded by 2034 is a blatant falsehood.

The annual pace of rent hikes has now accelerated to 4.3%, the equivalent of $28 increase in the nation’s median weekly rents.

Government needs to buy up housing stock for public housing.

Rent hikes accelerate as rental vacancies hit record low
Luca Ittimani

Rent hikes are back on the rise after a decline in new listings brought vacant rental rates to a record low – despite a boom in housing investor activity.

Just 1.47% of Australia’s rental stock is up for rent, less than half the average pre-pandemic proportion, new data from Cotality shows.

The annual pace of rent hikes has now accelerated to 4.3%, the equivalent of $28 increase in the nation’s median weekly rents. The median weekly rent has surpassed $700 across Australia’s capital cities, with Brisbane and Perth running especially hot.

Regional rents are catching up to the cities as well, reaching $591 in September on a weekly median basis – about $110 behind the capitals, compared to a gap of $120 in May 2024.

Rent price growth had previously been easing from an annual pace of about 8% and held near a four-year-low of just 3.4% since May, amounting to about a $20 weekly increase on the median rent, Cotality found.

Kaytlin Ezzy, an economist with Cotality, said re-accelerating rent rises were the result of far fewer properties than normal being listed “for lease”, with listings running at just three-quarters of the pre-pandemic average.

Ezzy noted that even a recent explosion in home loans to investors, or prospective landlords, had not boosted rental listings.

Property investors have become so active in recent years that the Reserve Bank said last week overcrowding in the market could risk a future house price bubble and resulting crash in its review of Australia’s financial system.

If we just taxed rich people fairly, we would be able to afford an NDIS system that allows long reports to get read, to determine people's care needs; or better still just believe care recipients and their families outlining their needs.
