The cruel actions of Moreton Bay council are bad enough.
But if we were a just and fair society, this would not just be a matter of homeless people's right being violated.
Being homeless would itself be considered a breach of #HumanRights.
It's also a gross policy failure. #homelessness #auspol

Australia likes to believe in meritocracy. But an unspoken pecking order, reinforced through schools and institutions, turns privilege into entitlement and inequality into shame, writes John Frew. #Education #Inequality #Class #AustralianSchools
The pecking order: how class blindness governs Australian schools
Australia prides itself on fairness and opportunity, yet an unspoken pecking order shapes who advances and who is blamed for falling behind. In schools and public institutions, structural inequality is dressed up as personal failure, with shame doing much of the work.

If the Liberals are so incensed by the parliamentary entitlements rules, why didn’t they change them in the ten years they were in power? Maybe after Bronnie took the chopper ride, or Susssan charged the taxpayer her flights to buy a Gold Coast apartment?

Australia Institute research shows 80% of Australia’s gas is exported by multinational gas corporations, who then tell us we have a gas shortage. Big Gas is Taking the Piss.

Years on, did mass administration of mRNA vaccines cost unnecessary lives?
The French study is the first to look at mortality in vaccinated and unvaccinated people four years after rollout.

So it’s ok for Karvelas on the tax payers’ purse to be able to afford a ski holiday and not ok for a Labor politician to pay for her a trip for her kids.
Reeks of it’s ok for Crabb and her partner ( both on the taxpayers’ purse ) to buy a $4 mill house and not the PM.

While the 2025 federal election inquiry has shown there was a clear rise in hostility at election booths around the country, Tim Wilson's electorate of Goldstein seems to have reached another level.
