Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 And easier to build at this scale .

Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 I brought one as my first home in 2001, was a great unit, 6 pack, sounds similar I to don't understand why we don't build 6 packs again

I see some conservative American commentators are suggesting we should have their gun law freedoms. “It may have prevented the stabbing deaths”.

More than 40,000 Americans were killed by guns in 2023.

Over 95% of mass shootings were committed by men.

Yep. No thanks.

This is what we need in the suburbs around every Australian city. Come on Canberra we are small enough and progressive enough to lead the way on this Chris Steel Greater Canberra Andrew Barr MLA Rebecca Vassarotti MLA for Kurrajong Suzanne Orr

Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 Apartments then and earlier often far exceed current apartment levels of amenity. Multi facing w more perimeter - & supposed problem of heat loss/gain - still preferable to single facing tube of space now common esp in Melbourne.

Chris Pomfret Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 I have found that a north eastern balcony off living areas is best for us. Winter sun.
We don't use our southern verandahs much at all. Good in theory. OK to dry clothes out of direct sunlight in summer. Good use of blinds, trees, vines helps.

Just 10 streams carry 95% of all river-borne plastic into the ocean. If you want to fix ocean pollution here is a good starting point. Excellent book on the matter by Hannah Ritchie: buff.ly/3xypWw8

Dr Sally 🐨🐨🖤 Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 Add a mix of 2 and 3 bedroom versions for families , all to 70s size specs and it’d be a winner.
Import a bit of the art deco styling and give em a bit of style and people would fall over themselves to snap em up.

Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 Dr Sally 🐨🐨🖤 Yep all easy as. Base investment for a long term benefit. And at a ‘community’ level even easier.

Serious question - do you think complaints to Councils have inadvertently (or deliberately) been used as a housing protection racket?

Thus, driving up house prices, minimising change, and excluding young people from housing in the process?

With many Councils, like Inner West Council,…

Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 Dr Sally 🐨🐨🖤 Add solar, community battery, grey water system, community garden and bike parking and you’d be on an absolute winner.

“We know that good-quality, well-designed apartments can make excellent homes for families with children, and while more families are making apartments their homes, too few are being designed with their needs in mind,” Philip Oldfield

Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 Joanna Mendelssohn Love the kitchen has a door to hide the mess!

Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 I agree that some of the 60’s & 70’s architecture was some of our best. This is a good example that with a few slight tweaks like outdoor decks to the north, larger 2nd bedroom, second WC & open kitchen would make this a better apartment.

Shaun Carter #YES 🇺🇦 I think second bathrooms offer flexibility for single renters to share house.

Peter Dutton's advocacy of nuclear power goes against all evidence and common sense. 

His dishonesty and misrepresentation in all this should be enough for voters to question his fitness to lead our country, writes John Hewson.

Are smartphones and social media the main culprit for the dramatic decline in the mental health of young Australians? The evidence looks pretty strong to me. #auspol

Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull:

“When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occasions, he’s like the 12-year-old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero!’ It’s really creepy.”

‘Social justice matrix’

80% of domestic violence murders - by men
2/3 of domestic violence murders by women, were women killing an abusive male partner.
84% of males murdered - by men

Australian governments have been picking losers for years, subsidies for fossil fuel projects like Darwin’s middle Arm, inland rail and the still under construction Kurri gas power station…but subsidising renewables is ‘new economics’! Such hilarious hypocrisy #insiders #auspol
