The federal government has to stop running scared and get back into the business of building homes directly. Public housing is a long term solution to the housing affordability crisis. People deserve to be able to build a life in secure housing.

Who is mad enough to be paying these big 4 firms for leadership advice riddled with rubbish?
Also @Deborah_ONeill given the great work you and Barb Pocock are doing. Is anyone listening ?
@BarbaraPocock how does Deb O’Neill feel about this given her great work ? 👆👆

Australia’s inflation problem is painful & persistent & it won’t truly improve until we address its root cause: privatisation. My latest with @smh on how price controls on essentials & expanded public provision can deliver price stability.

Appointing Mr Ebeid to ‘independent chair’ at KPMG Australia is KPMG’s version of a ‘cleanup’. This is hard to take seriously. This is a clear conflict of interest. This looks a long way from independent.

Prominent economist Saul Eslake demolishes LNP’s ‘aspiration’ myth saying their 1999 CGT discount failed to build a nation of entrepreneurs & shareholders, in fact, those rates only fell since 1999, while “disproportionately favouring richer & older Australians”💥 #auspol
Hmm. Qantas plane leaking above the emergency exit window as we circle to land at Sydney. Is that normal ? @Qantas ?? Might be worth checking. Are seals deteriorating ? Would you expect rain to get inside cabin when flying through clouds ?

Disappointing to see this from you, Georgie. You're fanning uninformed vitriol. When a population with appalling health measures at every level is rightly assessed as high risk & treated accordingly - to nobody else's detriment - it should be supported.
Race row erupts after Melbourne hospital gives Indigenous patients priority. The triaging of patients should be done on medical need, not the colour of your skin or race. A first glimpse of Jacinta Allan’s Treaty that will only divide Victorians.#springst heraldsun.com.au/news/victor…

Turbocharged house prices. Untold mortgage stress. Rents thro the roof. Homelessness historically high. Labor’s housing targets blown. Today, their 5% deposit scheme pours fuel on the fire. Labor is making the problem worse.

6 million Qantas customer records have been stolen. Credit card details and customer pins fortunately not included. This nevertheless is outrageous. We won’t have a digital economy unless people can trust online engagement with businesses. @ALeighMP

This should send chills up every decent person ....people literally marking their houses in the hope they won't be attacked ....a version of Kristallnacht, driven by the same ideology that led to the burning of Catholic homes in the past ....

#Breaking: Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt says he's approving Woodside's North West Shelf extension to 2070.
This is a bad and gutting decision.
Quite appalling that you can read about this data breach on the websites of ABC, The Australian, Crikey and other outlets but not the @FinancialReview . Why not AFR? Surely that should be on your front page? crikey.com.au/2025/03/27/syd…

Delay of Nature Positive bills measures for improved compliance with existing environment law a terrible loss, means continued illegal clearing of endangered species habitat . The other elements though could be done NOW administratively + by regulation
