We are looking at a government of gestures.

Watch ATO’s Rob Heferen panic & go red in the face as Barbara Pocock questions why they pushed Michael O’Neill into a new role, after he was investigating the PwC scandal. Pocock asks if he’s made any complaints. Heferen “You mean about me?” Geezus take a breath - sounds dodgy🚩

Shared Equity? Spot on John: “I feel like you’re just increasing demand; you’re giving more income to more people, which means more people will buy houses, which means there’s less available & the ones that are available will go up in price.”

We can end homelessness in Australia - by building enough public housing, funding homelessness services & wrap-around support to break the cycle of recurring homelessness. We can put a roof over everyone’s heads & limit rent increases to stop any more evictions into homelessness.

Labor must address the root causes of the housing crisis. High rents, insufficient public housing stock & the greed of property developers & investment housing are all causes of homelessness. Without tackling the structural drivers the crisis will only worsen. We can do better.

Homelessness in Australia is the worst in living memory & we still don’t have a national plan to end homelessness. If Labor can spend $181 bn on wealthy property investors they can build homes and provide services for people sleeping rough.

Leaving a violent relationship requires secure housing. The National Plan to End Violence Against Women & Children recognises the growing intersection between violence & housing insecurity. Yet the govt continues to fail women by fiddling at the edges of the housing crisis.

Labor’s inaction on the housing crisis is forcing women to choose between violence & homelessness. Specialist Homelessness Services are receiving on average 350 requests each day they can’t meet. Women & children are the majority of clients & over 40% of cases are DV related.

Early start on @SkyNews this morning talking about the BoM website bungle and the jobs for mates fallout from the Briggs' report.

Disasters like the BoM website update exemplify exactly why we need to build capacity in the public service and reduce our over reliance on consultants. A robust public service will always provide better value for money and better quality for the taxpayer dollar.

How to wave off a problem: - Commission a review - Ignore key recommendations - Don’t enshrine anything in legislation - Keep giving jobs to the boys 🤙

We've had enough of the big supermarkets ripping us off. Aussies want affordable housing, not another Woolies scam. When state & fed govts give profit-hungry developers new avenues for profit in a housing crisis you have to wonder who they’re really working for.

Woolworths is cheating the housing system for profit and getting away with it. It's disgusting profiteering & the perfect example of big corporations maximising profit over people: Corporations fast-tracking profit from taking up housing space in the midst of a housing crisis.

Woolworths is exploiting affordable housing development schemes to fast-track new supermarket & luxury apartment complexes while rental vacancy rates are at record lows, 175,000 on social housing waiting lists & 1st home buyers can't compete with wealthy property investors.

2 days a week from home. Practical, sensible & hugely beneficial to so many esp. women & carers. The Greens want to see real improvements in the conditions & rights of Australian workers that reflect the modern workplaces of 2025 & beyond. We'll always fight for workers’ rights.

Jumping on @abcnews this morning before 9 to discuss the new data on housing this morning.

Work from Home. Where it works, the boss should not be able to arbitrarily refuse or remove. We can do this. For the 21st century worker and workplace ‘Work from home rights face Senate scrutiny in 2026’

House prices are forecast to increase by 9 percent next year on top of more than 6% this year, which will only worsen unless more pre-emptive action by APRA is taken.

This market is rigged in favour of wealthy property investors. You only need to look to latest ABS data, which shows investor lending skyrocketing by 12.3% over the yr compared to only a 0.9% increase for first-home buyer loan commitments for the same period. It’s out of control!

APRA has used its toolkit in the past to cool investor lending and it led to the greatest stabilisation of house prices in 30 years, they need to take that decisive action again.
