Housing debate in Sydney is tiresome.

The discourse seems to be if it isn’t a freestanding home on your own block of land the only other option is ultra high rise, tiny, badly built apartments.

Just take a look at what is possible with 6 levels. This is defence housing too

[Lachlan Bennett @Lachlan_Bennett]

@markbacon95 Putting apartments next to a stadium is one of the most idiotic ideas I have ever heard of. People can’t even live next to a pub without making a noise complaint…. Imagine trying to get to sleep next to the deafening roar of 10,000 footy fans, or an Ac\DC gig

@AdamHolmes010 @themercurycomau Hobartians don't even like living next to a bar.... imagine them trying to sleep next to the deafening roar of a footy match.

"Twitter’s rebrand to X and Meta’s introduction of Threads might have dominated headlines in July, but new data from Tracksuit shows the platforms have struggled to resonate with Australians users."

I visit here a few years back - such a magical and unsung Tasmanian treasure. I was incredulous that there was never any promotion of it!

[Adam Holmes @AdamHolmes010]

I visited a giant tree site in southern Tasmanian rainforest – remarkable, but not easy to get to, and very little public information

Should Tasmania do more to highlight its giant trees (biggest in southern hemisphere) for visitor experiences?

Scoop: Property developer Tim Gurner's comments about entitled employees have caused concern at his companies. In a leaked memo, one manager at his wellness centres has tried to assure staff that Gurner's remarks were "in no way directed at our teams".

I deeply regret that everyone heard what I really think and oddly those outside a room of property developers weren’t so on board.
