"For 30 years Australia stopped building homes the way it builds hospitals and roads, and left shelter to a market that now prices a median home at 8.4 times a median income." Labor & LNP worry about grievance-fueled One Nation. Too much to expect they fess up and blame their own neoliberal policy?

Google has started updating satellite images of Gaza. Holocaust. (📸 Barry Andrews MEP, European Parliament)
A single building is left standing amidst utter carnage. Every single building has been levelled across a few square miles pictures. Google maps identified one pile of rubble as a school.

Greg Moriarty bells the cat. AUKUS is not about defending Australia it’s designed to contain, constrain and attack our most important trading partner, China. AUKUS sacrifices sovereignty to US warmongering and entangles us in a war that can’t be won. Labor. has lost the plot!

"Institutional actors see hostility everywhere they go but what they really mean is opposition, sometimes they even just mean advocacy. The public, on the other hand, is told that to ascribe hostility to the actions of an elected government and its bureaucrats is unfair[...]"

It’s also pretty obvious the goal here: At one time the internet was to be for the free flow of information. With data center companies scanning and destroying works of literature, it’s obvious to me the ultimate goal is the opposite: a massive pay per view collection of hoarded knowledge.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Congrats to Grace Tame for the announcement she'll make a podcast about autism with the ABC. There's been a lack of new voices platformed, esp women, in hosting roles at the ABC & also in the autism 'space'. I'll be interested to hear what Ms Tame and her producers explore. #autism #freshvoices

Ancient Greek perfume vase in the shape of an owl, 650-640 BC🦉❤️ The Louvre, Paris 📷 by me #OwlishMonday #Archaeology
My photo shows a small Proto-Corinthian polychrome terracotta aryballos (perfumed oil container) in the shape of an owl. The pouring hole is under the tail. Height 5 cm, Width 6.4 cm. The owl is perched with its tail to the left and head to the right. It leans slightly forward with its head turned to face the viewer with large round eyes. The owl's chest is painted black. The eyes and plummage are intricately detailed in black on a pale cream slip. The lower three rows of feathers in the wing plumage are painted in alternating brownish-red, orangey-red, and black. Dated c. 640 BC

Like many, I grew up securely in public housing. NeoLiberalism resulted in the demise of collective solutions, prioritising individualism and housing as a wealth creator. Labor’s focus on home ownership continues this approach. We need a better balance and more public housing.
