Sydney Deputy Lord Mayor #JessMiller campaigning strongly on limiting Airbnb-type rentals. Across inner Sydney, this profiteering closes off 5% of available stock, when rental vacancies are in crisis at only about 1% - immediate relief. Need State Govts to step up, instead of development at any cost

Secrecy of Govt is cultural. Culture is set by leadership. But our leader is addicted to secrecy. The Auditor-General’s #FOI report is just more evidence of a betrayal by @albomp.bsky.social who, in opposition, promised greater Govt transparency. #liar #auspol

they could just do stuff. Fuck off the incrementalism, and Murdoch, the condescendingly earnest lectures, the zionist lobby, the complete absence of humour and creativity, and do shit. Get stuff done. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Starting a Guns and Boobs party to funnel votes to the Greens

We need to educate people & our children on how to look past superficial indicators of a campaign group issue (such as its name) and look at what shows its real intent - its preferences in an election, the votes of its politicians when in parliament. #auspol #democracy

Europe is saving €100M a day by investing in solar as the Iran war drives up prices. Countries are doubling down on renewables to keep bills lower & strengthen energy independence. Meanwhile the US is paying companies to stop clean energy projects. This isn’t about technology. It’s about choices.
