Hey @ChrisMinnsMP - as Premier you have no right to mess with our democratic right to public protest. We see obscene actions of fascists on news every day - we don’t want proto-fascist edicts here, enforced by your hand-picked police commissioner Protest against Israeli slaughter

The Palestinian author at the centre the censorship and lobbying controversy that devastated the Bendigo Writers Festival gets her opinion piece pulled at the last minute by The Age …why? We put that question to The Age and are yet to hear back.

Scenes from Sydney’s #savegaza march across the harbour bridge. If our Govts too servile to speak up, we the people assert our democratic rights to protest! & we did in huge numbers, regardless of the politicians, police or stormy weather

The myth that the Liberal Party are better economic managers than Labor debunked in a short video. Share the f*** out of this!

Here's to the Australian housing bubble🏡🫧 A glittering monument to our collective delusion, where we’ve somehow convinced ourselves that paying a million dollars for a shoebox with a view of your neighbor’s laundry is the pinnacle of success. But let’s call it what it really is: a neon-lit symptom of societal collapse, dressed up in the guise of "the Aussie dream." Imagine a society so obsessed with hoarding bricks and mortar that it’s willing to sacrifice an entire generation’s future on the altar of capital gains. Young Australians aren’t just priced out of the market—they’re being gaslit into believing they’re lazy avocado toast enthusiasts for not being able to afford a crumbling terrace house that costs 12 times their annual salary. Meanwhile, the banks cheer, the politicians shrug, and the property moguls sip champagne in their negatively geared mansions, blissfully unaware that a pyramid scheme only works as long as there’s someone left to hold the base. The housing bubble isn’t just an economic anomaly; it’s a grotesque metaphor for a society that’s traded community, creativity, and basic human dignity for the hollow promise of eternal equity growth. We’ve turned homes into speculative assets, neighbors into competitors, and the future into a Ponzi scheme. And when the bubble finally bursts—because all bubbles do—we’ll be left staring at the rubble, wondering how we ever thought this was sustainable. So here’s to the Australian housing bubble🍾

What influences public opinion today is more powerful than journalism with integrity. A challenge for the media, for those who choose to be activists and not journalists. #auspol abc.net.au/news/2023-10-27/l…
