Dutton's policy is to give people who can already afford to enter the housing market a tax payer subsidy for five years on the repayments they can already afford to make. It does not increase supply, help lower income people get a deposit, or enter the market. It's a tax break for the wealthy.
In all the talk about Dutton bringing his son on the campaign trail to try and prove he 'gets' the housing market issues, one thing is missing – his housing policy only benefits people like his son who is already wealthy enough to get into it live.australiainstitute.org.au/2025/04/aust...

Our work highlighted same as this Royal commission. A system 'riddled with bias' against mothers and children who are victims of abuse says expert. Children's voices ignored. 161 children informed this work. There is no denying this global bias www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Good grief - Channel 9's (Melb) 6pm bulletin reports on Republican's 'plans' for Gaza with the headline "Strip Tease". Total lack of compassion, understanding. Not clever, not funny, just disrespectful

#Greyhound deaths and injuries on racing tracks in Australia 2024 from Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds. Appalling numbers amid the cruellest of "sports". Injuries include fractures of almost every part of the dogs' bodies including necks and spines. Did you know this happens?

This time of year is already difficult for me, so thank you to the tax office for sending me, on 24 Dec, an amended tax notice for 2021 requiring further payment, including interest on the money they didn't collect. So relieved they're chasing me rather than big companies who pay $0 tax.

And we wonder why violence against women continues ...
Physically ill. But to put it out there. How do we confirm that Kyle is Albo's "good friend"? Clinton went to Trump's wedding FFS. B4 you all pile on me NOT excusing, hate it w/passion. Politicians & media have a symbiotic relationship. That's what we FIGHT, not that it's an alleged good friend

Your turn Australia #BanGreyhoundRacing
Good news, now make it happen here.

Greyhound racing will be wound down over a 20-month period, and an advisory committee has been appointed to help find new homes for an estimated 2,900 racing dogs.
