I got into politics because as a doctor I saw big tobacco, junk food, alcohol and gambling corps driving preventable illness for profit. Watching the Allan Labor Gov effectively close VicHealth is depressing and shows how little they value prevention. 1/2

I kind of feel like "the essay was shit" is missing the point. It was written to be shit, so that the trans TA would respond, and then the whole thing could be turned into a media circus, the trans TA 'punished' for existing, but the conversation only be about the essay.

100k vacant homes at a single time out of 2 million total is less than 5%, not that many considering how many are temporarily vacant or uninhabitable. l support seizing properties for public housing but 'empty homes' gets a disproportionate focus compared to dense new development

Purplepingers ☭ again i'd be supportive of expropriating any suitable vacant homes, but it seems like a distraction from the easier solution of just building the new public housing we need in any case, and I dont understand the unwillingness to coopt the movement for dense development + urbanism

Purplepingers ☭ i would support this but i dont think it's in bad faith of me to point out that the empty houses theory has been consistently proposed by many socialists specifically as an alternative to new supply, who still oppose upzoning in general (a necessary step for new public housing)

i’m no longer anti summer start / soft launch but 20 min frequency is so obviously way too low even just for capacity for the people who only want to check it out. surely at least 10 min frequencies from westall to west footscray.
