Australia, imagined by some, is long gone. I am actually writing a book (commissioned) on what has changed in this country since WW2. The transformation has been more rapid and impactful than the great migration arcs of the U.S. A book about the two great waves of migration,.

This is an excellent bit of truth telling by Aaron when it comes to urban history, geography, perceived and real culture. Dave comes from Riverstone. Riverstone’s story is a microcosm of outer urban Sydney - I am actually commissioned to write a book about how our country has.

Dave is marching Sunday because Indian shops have transformed his suburb and replaced "Australian culture". He wandered the local shopping strip, pointing out the invasion. I dug a bit. Let me show you the loss of "Australian culture" he’s mourning. /1.

It seems the AI-generated promotional images of today’s rallies drew a bigger crowd than the rallies themselves. A fitting analogy: the loudest voices on this platform are often just fringe dwellers and at the ballot box, they get fringe results. As they did on May 3rd.

If you cap housing and suburbs, you cap the future for younger Australians. In New Zealand, governments of both stripes have correctly diagnosed the root of the housing crisis: planning restrictions. They recognised that the single greatest barrier to affordability wasn’t the.

The Age has been running a series on Melbourne’s west, now the fastest-growing region in the country. Some points I make in this article. For decades it was considered immovable Labor territory, but in recent elections Labor’s primary vote has splintered. Yet the Liberal Party

Cutting Migration Won’t Turn BMWs Into Hyundais…. The so-called “supply and demand” argument is a comforting myth rolled out whenever the housing crisis comes up, recently paired with the claim that cutting migration will somehow fix it. But the logic falls apart the moment you.

Why they blame migrants for the housing crisis. Here is a hint, it’s ALL about politics. 3 underlying reasons and 1 main reason. Underlying reasons - without these, the main reason does not work. 1. It’s far easier to believe: My suburb is expensive because of migrants than.

Yes. We shipped our capacity to make ‘stuff’ overseas and now have one of the least diverse economies in the world. Manufacturing was always going to decline post WW2, but it’s by design that the drop has been so great.

Manufacturing has declined across most of these economies, but nowhere more than in Australia.

In Victoria, the demographic split is stark. Labor and the Greens hold 19 of the 20 youngest state electorates, the seats with the lowest share of over-65s. By contrast, the Coalition dominates 16 of the oldest state seats, those with the highest proportion of older voters. And

Our latest podcast is with a migrant, a former commando who served multiple tours, a lawyer, and above all, a deeply thoughtful contributor to Australian politics. There are few voices on the conservative side of politics that sound like modern Australia, Keith Wolahan is one of.

Building approvals by LGA. Basically they are the lowest in the wealthiest LGAs. Where diversity is the lowest, rents are higher, rental vacancies the lowest, house prices higher, cost of land higher, the cost of building a home, from planning, to materials and labour, higher.

Liberal Party members have commissioned polling against one of their own, and the results aren’t pretty: Labor is leading in Hawthorn 55–45. If these numbers hold on election day, simply swapping candidates won’t change the outcome. In fact, a new face risks losing even the

The Politics of Climate Change. Do most Australians support the transition to renewable energy? Yes. Do most Australians support moving away from coal? Yes. Do young Australians believe older generations and past governments acted too slowly? Yes. Do the majority of younger.

Dig dig dig. One shovel at a time. I could laugh at the LNP’s antics on Net Zero, but it’s gone past comedy, this is politically brain-dead. They’re basically pitching to a 17% rump of the electorate. And let’s be clear: if Resolve stripped the boomers out of the sample, the

Another round of Victorian Liberal leadership speculation minus any genuine admission they have a deep structural crisis confronting them. The federal Liberal Party review acknowledges this problem and they are attempting to find solutions to it - but in Victoria, no change.

Victorian Labor Government. 53% 2PP (Resolve). It’s not the Allan government that’s deeply unpopular, it’s the conservatives staring into the mirror and blaming the reflection. The basic run down. Primary vote: Coalition in the low 30s. Labor: Holding at - 53% 2PP (Resolve).

In addition to the majority of surveyed Australians supporting the right to work from home. They also want that right protected by law. This includes a massive 51% of Coalition voters. Graph. Resolve poll.
