A rant, sorry: The real estate agency wants FIVE years of my residential and employment history, plus character references, which in my case means gathering details for and contacting 12 people, and uploading more than two dozen ID, rental and financial documents to apply. 1/4
Every Victorian deserves a place to call home.
So on top of the Big Housing Build, we'll invest $1 billion for a Regional Housing Fund.
We'll work with councils and local communities to determine the right mix for each area.
It's what's needed. And we'll deliver it.
@WizMonifaaa Leave your husband. He’s not loyal to you, nor does he protect his kids from predators. You don’t love him: the man you love doesn’t actually exist. This is who he really is: a man more interested in protecting the entitlement of another man to sexualise his child.
This is one of the most devastating, infuriating stories I've read in a long time. You think you're already angry at the basics of what happened and then it just keeps getting worse with each new detail. I recommend reading every word by @kylietcheung https://t.co/ezFOGDZItA
@AdamOutside Why am I not surprised? Academia is so broken and bent on the heroism of working oneself to destruction that not even an active shooter on campus can be enough to say stop.
@AdamOutside Poverty creates desperation and fear. It makes for excellent politics and a portion of society too disenfranchised to be heard - leading to exploitative work practices. No one chooses to work 3 jobs. Yet here we are.
My £100k salary isn't actually all that much, you see, because I have so many nice things to pay for. You, as a peasant, who only have to afford your 70p 1kg bag of oatmeal, do not have such worries.
@AdamOutside One of our minor parties here is really pushing for universal income. It would empower so many folk. And boost local economies like no other.
@AdamOutside Exactly. Recently here in Oz we had a temporary covid time boost to welfare. That small boost was epic. Simply being able to shop local, pay bills on time, to be able to eat as you wish. It also showed that we can do better by folk without the (fiscal) sky falling down.
