Where is enforcement of minimum housing standards in Australia? @australianlabor.bsky.social It’s law, yet? There is a LOT of rental properties and real estates and landlords literally milking the #housingcrisis for every cent as often as they can. Why aren’t #minimumstandards enforced? #auspol

Stand up for your rights! Get up! Stand up! Stand up for your rights! Go on. Do it! Don’t just do nothing. And when you see someone else taking action. Support them! We are all in this together. Stand up. Take action. Support people who do too, and firmly and calmly defend yours and others.

“It is truly extraordinary that of the three countries that are party to the deal, Australia – which bears the brunt of both the cost and the risk – is the only one not to have put AUKUS to a genuine review." Petition for an inquiry into AUKUS > theaus.in/AUKUS_inquiry

Best idea I’ve seen in a while

#RentersRights #auspol #HousingForAll @ClareONeilMP 🏡 Let’s also insist on the minimum housing standards being met before any rental is leased.

Great work! 💪🏽 I really hope people with decision making power read and listen rather than shallow skim over.

I cannot believe the state of properties and what #realestates, “supposed licensed professionals who know the laws” are allowing to be leased to #renters. It’s our money that makes the money for housing investors and the housing standards are being wholly ignored and misrepresented by these. #auspol

I wish I could bottle the love for Stephen Colbert at the #Emmys tonight & use it to replace MAGA’s Kool-Aid

Just three days after approving an extension of one of the largest fossil fuel export projects in the world, the North West Shelf, the National Climate Risk Assessment reveals the devastating consequences facing Australia. #auspol Media release:

I was thinking about negative gearing and how it doesn’t do what it was supposed to do. Why don’t we restrict it to rental properties that are being rented out at a “rent controlled” price?

If a tenancy is terminated by either party due to a home being unfit for habitation, it should be a mandatory legal requirement that the home be inspected and receive an updated certificate of occupancy before it can receive new tenants. Penalties for breaches should include prison.

Everyone should check out what some landlords are getting away with in Australia. Minimum housing standards nowhere in sight. 😡 #TheRentsAreTooHigh #auspol

Negative gearing on short-stay rentals costs Australia up to $556m a year, report estimates

Imposing minimum housing standards is needed. Too many decrepit homes are put on the rental market that would not qualify for a certificate of occupancy. Tenancy laws are far too weak on this issue.

Freedom of speech means the government can't restrict what you say. It doesn't mean you are free to live without consequences for the things you say.

More evidence that the rich are NOT overtaxed.

🤦‍♀️ Corporate media is responsible for a lot of pain. 🩸

If nothing else, you figured out America.

Yeah. Every time I see people saying gun violence isn’t us I just go there are literally no other first world countries with this level of gun violence. Using first world liberally here…

Ewww misogynistic racist hater. He cracked the code to being popular in America - just say the most vile things imaginable and there you have it. Far out.

Well as decency becomes more and more legislated against it will be. The left wing reaction to the current far right will be extreme. The bastards know this, hence they're putting fascism in place to protect themselves and their wealth.

That criticism of a proudly white supremacist has been so condemned over the past few days really does not do much for those arguing we are not a racist society

It's yelling into the void but something tell me it just needs to kept being said: if you are still posting, RTing, or lurking on X, you are helping keep users there and you are helping this guy pull in advertising revenue. You are a volunteer worker for a slobbering, drug-addled white supremacist

It’s 8:25pm and I have about ten reports to finalise before tomorrow’s business day begins. I have made a promise to sleep well this evening. I may not finalise all ten reports this evening but you never know, I have the bones and details for all of them. It’s possible. Have a good night everyone. ❤️

Apparently, the only thing that Americans agree upon is: Release the Epstein Files.

The algorithms drive 'engagement' and saying outrageous things gets engagement. Tech bros did/are doing this.

From @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, BTW. I should have used her bsky handle.

Here’s a story from an author who had her own work ripped off by a bot that ‘made’ a podcast from it then asked her to pay US$170 for the ‘privilege’ of listening: open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

@myspacetom2003.bsky.social I like your mission. Any chance you can share all those starter packs? Mine are on my profile. Help yourself.

AI is a time waster and leaves people behind as it pretends it can do everything for them. It has used people to learn and ripped off copyright, and intellectual property without concern. As we have all trained it that we are then asked to pay to use it: is despicable. Ask it about that. Or think?

So the press could’ve cared this much when Melissa Hartman, her husband AND THEIR DOG were murdered by a Trump supporter. They just chose not to.

Meiselas: After Charleston, Obama didn’t blame Republicans. But MAGA leaders, starting with Trump, say Democrats must be eradicated for Kirk’s death—without knowing who did it?! That’s maliciously provoking more violence.

The govt should cancel Aukus and use that $400B to build more houses. That will fix the supply/demand problem that drives both rents and house prices. Once house prices stabilise( very low price growth), the investors will leave the market naturally.

My hope is that with his death, Charlie Kirk achieves a more positive influence on America than he did in his entire racist, anti-LBGTQ life: to highlight the scourge of gun violence that is singularly destroying our country.

And replacing the CES. Got my first job by walking I. Off the street, no appointment. They had all the local jobs up with employers contacting them daily forcwokjers. It was so easy coming nlared to the current arsehole of a system. Can't privatize welfare when it exists cause of market failure.

And gnawed through the pipes and wires that used to make government work. 🤬

Just like my cats.

Kamala Harris to Trump during the debate: Why don’t you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with Putin who would eat you for lunch

Putin never attacked Poland under Biden. But he sees Trump as an easy mark who won’t do shit about it.

Kamala Harris was correct about everything she warned us about.
