As an organiser, I’ve been banging this drum for a decade now — but more and more the data backs my gut up.
The AES and Macquarie post-election studies for both 2022 and 2025 have shown just how stark a cleavage housing tenure is.

New from my phd student @joshgoddard98.bsky.social: he shows, using many election and panel studies across the advanced democracies, that housing status has replaced occupational class as a key predictor of voting. Class voting is now about assets, not income www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I've covered this in the piece but TLDR:

- esafety doesn't decide who fits the definition, but it does have enforcement powers
- esafety says only its list of 10 platforms in the ban have to worry about the ban ATM

The Australian government claims it will meet its 2030 emissions target almost entirely due to an assumption that it will meet its renewable energy target.
This is an input to the projection, not an output.
It's honestly very hard to see how this will happen.
