Unelected prime minister Rishi Sunak asked unelected King Charles III to give unelected David Cameron a peerage so he could serve as unelected foreign secretary with a seat in the unelected House of Lords. That's democracy for you.

Bravo @adele_ferguson 💃🏼👏🏼 for your outstanding expose of a rapacious medical health system profiteering from people’s misery.
Health - like education - must be nationalised. Economic rationalism has failed us badly.

She could have sold her books, spent her billions, shut up about things she knows nothing about, and died with a great legacy. Instead she has become a controversial figure who not only denies a vulnerable minority their rights, but their very existence.

We are extremely disappointed to hear NSW Police Commissioner describe the alleged murder of Jesse Baird & his partner Luke Davies as a ''crime of passion''. Domestic violence is never about passion, it is driven by obsession & power. We will be communicating this to NSW police.

Kpemeh was 15 when made to marry: a hidden impact of climate change.
As floods, cyclones & droughts push more people into poverty, parents see marriage as a way of ensuring that their daughters and for the rest of the family will be provided for.

I live in an area with a large number of Black folks in public housing & Aboriginal-controlled community housing & yes there should be more of it. Certainly would be better than more rich people moving in to the area or more low income apartments being transformed into airbnbs.
You are absolutely kidding yourself if you think the people who attend "Always was, always will be" rallies won't do just this if indigenous housing was proposed in their hood

In Australia, 79% of F/T workers work outside scheduled hours, according to a 2022 report from the Australia Institute.
Now bosses can be barred

'Always a bed in prison’
Aust is incarcerating more on remand because of the housing crisis. Those without secure housing are less likely to get bail. Indigenous Australians made up 61% of the rise. We urgently need housing alternatives. #HousingCrisis

In Finland, the largest grocery network is cooperative owned. Check out this Saturday read, and imagine what our society would look like if Woolies or Coles was owned by the people.

Calls to 'increase supply' with build-to-rent can profit developers and investors more than #renters.
