It seems that Australia and NSW are not immune to ineffective housing policy (pretending to be effective).

There's a trend of landlords turning ideal sharehouses into pricey boarding houses instead, by renting all the rooms to individual strangers themselves, and managing common areas rather than leasing them to groups as share houses. A real shame, disrupting friendship based housing #auspol

The attacks on @sarahschwartz.bsky.social are part of an organised, deliberate campaign to silence critics of Israel & smear them as antisemitic. That these attacks often target young women, Palestinian or Jewish, is not a coincidence. Disgusted at Australian “media” for indulging this violence

Please for the love of god read about how “efficiency” anti-regulation drives explicitly led to robodebt. I know that’s kind of the point for some people, but then there are those who might want to oppose that who assume this shit is just harmless populism.

Of course Elon Musk denies making a fascist salute. That's how the fascists work. Blatantly lying is a way of showing their followers that they have power—and repeating lies is how their followers show fealty. Don't waste time debating this. Fascists now control the US government. Act accordingly.

Landlords are still putting illegal terms in rental agreements - in Victoria (where this tenant lives), the penalty for demanding a fee for an inspection (whether the tenant actually pays or not doesn’t matter) is almost $12,000 but that doesn’t seem to do anything.

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.
