Deeply embarassing for someone who describes themselves as an expert in economics to apparently miss the fact that countries and states around the world cap rent increases. And no, I don't trust an economic system that has created a massive housing and rental crisis.

Has PM Anthony Albanese also made time to acknowledge the devastating bleaching the Great Barrier Reef is currently experiencing? Or just to help celebrate the 1000th cargo of fossil fuels shipped over the reef? #ClimateEmergency #EnergyTransitionNow

Ahhhh. Rest. Another family dinner for 7. All gone home. Granddaughter washed up, dishwasher stacked. Grt grandees didn't eat roast pork but all good. Grandson #1 good info on Farmer Wants a Wife nonsense. To bed.

Residents are reporting bad odours at Macquarie subsidiary Bingo Industries’ landfill in Erskine Park #SydneyWest again. Only a few weeks since Bingo was fine $280,000 for 2021 odours. A win is NOT a win if problem isn’t solved

How can Patricia Karvelas interview Minister Tanya Plibersek and ask about the devastating coral bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef, but not why she continues to grant approvals to new coal & gas expansion?

ABC News's coverage of the climate crisis & its causes is severely lacking

I’m grateful to my dear friend Tracy Greenberg for added insights re the bad old days of shackles, straight jackets and (god help us!!) “thump therapy”
Change was needed but what happened was cost savings thru emptying beds and dumping ppl in community rather than a proper…

There are so many tragedies from the attacks at #BondiJunction Among them is the plight of ppl struggling with serious mental illness and their families. The project of deinstitutionalization has been an abject failure as it has not been supported by adequate “community” support.…
