So we’ve got it wrong. There is no rental crisis according to recent analysis. Tell that to battlers on social welfare and low wages who can’t find an affordable rental, or those who sacrifice food, medical care, and other basics to pay their rent. 🤔 theguardian.com/australia-news…

Ben, have read your paper. Haven’t changed my mind. Better to rely on real life evidence than complex micro simulation modelling. Describing widespread rental stress as anecdotal does you no credit. Too many Australians face crippling rental stress to be so glibly dismissed

The reality is that many more people who years ago would have bought a home are being forced into the rental market. They generally have higher disposable incomes than traditional renters. Changes the rental /affordability equation. Fact is there is a widespread rental crisis.

The Liberal Party is in existential crisis. Its new leader digs the hole deeper by exposing she has no moral anchor. Abandons her long held support for Palestinians in exchange for a fleeting period as Liberal leader. Attacking Labor as a threat to social cohesion is desperation.

Canadian PM Mark Carney’s govt will build affordable modular public housing using sustainable timber. Public housing was successful in the past prior to neoliberal policies putting profit before people. We need a modern, efficient public housing sector! woodcentral.com.au/how-canada-pla…

The key issue for the nation and #Insiders is not Coalition cohesion and renewal. Surely it’s what Labor will do to build a good society and leave no one behind?

Doug Cameron (@dougcameron51) 's Twitter Profile Photo

The hyper focus and fixation by #Insiders on the self inflicted disaster that has led to the decimation of the Liberal Party is unbelievable. Over half the programme prattling on about the Libs. Navel gazing while huge nation building challenges exist is extremely frustrating.

“The deluge of women and children being delivered to morgues across Gaza” reports the ABC. Our govt can do more to express support for a Palestinian state and increase diplomatic pressure on the US to stop the carnage. This is ethnic cleansing and genocide by the Israeli govt.

I agree Eddy Jokovich There seems to be a weird ABC obsession with examining the entrails of the dead carcass that is the Coalition. The practice of reading entrails is about as discredited as the Coalition. Wake up ABC!

Many countries including Australia have blasted the Israeli govt for deliberately starving Palestinians living in Gaza. Hopefully the tide is turning and sufficient international pressure can be placed on the USA and Israel to stop the carnage, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Our politicians must join with other nations and give Palestinians hope by immediately recognising a Palestinian state. 14,000 babies could die while we mouth platitudes or turn a blind eye. Genocide must be condemned and stopped. Morality not cowardice! abc.net.au/news/2025-05-2…

When George Brandis is the voice of reason it shows how bad this rabble of an opposition is. Blaming the campaign is desperate denialism. It wasn’t the campaign, it was a party that thought Australians would support Trumpism and DOGE . What a bunch of pathetic losers. #4corners

Labor has traditionally engaged in international affairs. Has never used the prospect of internal “division” to ignore racism, oppression, ethnic cleansing and mass murder. Genocide by the Israeli govt in Gaza should be no different. Actions not words! theguardian.com/australia-news…

Holocaust survivors, experts and academics on the holocaust, Human Rights Watch, aid organisations and so many more say Israeli govt and military engaging in genocide in Gaza. Labor must take action to save innocent lives. Sanctions and recognition of Palestine are now justified

Gareth Evans, in my view, reflects the views of ALP R&F members across the country. We need the ALP caucus to reflect the views of members across the nation and take steps to recognise a Palestinian state and engage in sanctions against Israeli genocide and war crimes.

If we followed our own path we would recognise Palestine consistent with the will of the ALP membership. We would impose sanctions, expel diplomats and act in solidarity against the Israeli genocide in Gaza. All killing of innocent civilians is barbaric. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Albo said “we follow our own path” on Palestine, what is that path? The cabinet should meet , determine a path that acknowledges the genocide, starvation and barbarism foisted on innocent civilians by the Israeli govt and advise the nation what it will do in response. It’s time!

WTF! This is madness from my party. Never thought I would see the day that a Labor minister would, without critical analysis and absent of public explanation meekly hang off the coat tails of the USA and back RW rhetoric used in a speech by Ronald Reagan. apple.news/A79CsG--US4G5G…
