Public Housing YES!

ALP's '5.3 BILLION DOLLAR BIG HOUSING BUILD' is all about benefitting Community/Social Housing businesses & continuing to privatisate by stealth Public Housing

[Housing for the Aged Action Group @HAAGHomeAtLast]

The proposed demolition of Melbourne's inner city Public Housing towers is making international news. And so it should, its an outrage to be destroying communities to make way from private development. https://t.co/An0kGDNqjR

When Tina Turner left her first husband - who was also her boss, captor, and brutal tormentor - she snuck out of their Dallas hotel room with a single thought in her mind: "The way out is through the door."
From there she fled across the midnight freeway, semi-trucks careening past her, with 36 cents and a Mobil gas card in her pocket. As soon as she decided to walk out that door, she owned nothing else.
When she filed for divorce, she made an unusual request. She didn't want anything: not the song rights, not the cars, not the houses, not the money. All she wanted was the stage name he gave her - Tina - and her married name - Turner. This was the name by which the world had come to know her, and keeping it was her only chance to salvage her career.
Things could have gone a lot of ways from there. She could have labored in obscurity for decades, maybe making records on small labels to be prized by vinyl connoisseurs in Portland. She could have stayed in Vegas, where she first went to get her chops back up, and worked as a nostalgia act. And, of course, given what she had been through, she might have ... not made it.
What happened instead is that Tina Turner became the biggest global rock star of the 80s. I'm old enough to barely remember this, but if you aren't, it was like this: The Rolling Stones would headline a stadium one day, and the next day it would be Tina Turner. A middle-aged Black woman - she became a rock star at 42! - sitting atop the 1980s like it was her throne.
She managed this because of whatever rare stuff she was made of (this is a woman whose label gave her two weeks to record her solo debut, Private Dancer, which went five times platinum); because she decided to speak publicly about her abusive marriage and forge her own identity, and in doing so give hope and courage to countless women; and also because - in a perhaps unlikely twist for a girl from Nutbush, Tennessee - she had her practice of Soka Gakkai Nichiren Buddhism, to which she credited her survival. She remained devout until the end.
Tina's second marriage - to her, her only marriage - was to Edwin Bach, a Swiss music executive 16 years her junior. Of him, she said, "Erwin, who is a force of nature in his own right, has never been the least bit intimidated by my career, my talents, or my fame."
In 2016, after a barrage of health problems, Tina's kidneys began to fail. A Swiss citizen by then, she had started preparing for assisted suicide when her husband stepped in. According to Tina, he said, "He didn't want another woman, or another life."
He gave her one of his kidneys, buying her the remainder of her time on this earth and perhaps closing a cycle which took her from a man who inflicted injury upon her to a man willing to inflict injury upon himself to save her from harm.
Born into a share-cropping family as Anna Mae Bullock in 1939, she died Tina Turner in a palatial Swiss estate: the queen of rock 'n roll; a storm of a performer with a wildcat-fierce voice; a dancer of visceral, spine-tingling potency and ability; a beauty for the ages; a survivor of terrible abuse and an advocate for others in similar situations; an author and actress; a devout Buddhist; a wife and mother; a human being of rare talent and perseverance who, through her transcendent brilliance, became a legend.

I've been sitting on a document, unsure what to do with it.

I've decided to share it today.

I'm not prone to exaggeration, but if this document is true, it throws doubt on the legitimacy of Victorian Liberal candidates, and the party by extension. #springst

Fascinating. But I'm wondering where these women were on 15 March 2021? @march4justiceau the biggest rally for women ever seen in Aust? With 110k around the nation & 15,000 outside Parliament House. Where was this concern about women being bullied & harassed then?#EnoughlsEnough

[Julia Banks @juliahbanks]

A political performance stunt of faux outrage,reeking of hypocrisy

A failed attempt to discredit the @AlboMP Govt’s progress re respect at work

And a group media opp which won’t fool anyone

More a reminder of their usual group behaviour of being complicit to the patriarchy

Woke up this morning to find that the new prime minister of Australia had quoted my lyrics in his first press conference: “Just because you’re going forwards, doesn’t mean I’m going backwards”. Here’s my response to that welcome news.

#afternoonbriefing: How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful to new PM #AnthonyAlbanese & the people of Australia by refusing to interview anyone from the Fed #ALP team! How dare you allow Mr Jennett to indulge his puerile political tantrums on air! Where is your Board?

[Public Housing YES! @PubHousingYes]

@latingle So why can’t the professional journalists make a public statement like the scientists did over climate change and the judges and law professors did over a federal ICAC and call out both the Murdoch press and the unacceptable and rude behaviour of these so-called journalists??????

@GiovanniTorre @latingle Disgraceful!
