I think the YIMBY movement employs an inadvertently dishonest sleight-of-hand in talking about "Paris-scale density". Well, fine, if we're talking about Paris-style building, I'm all for it, and likely voters would be too (as they have been in the past). But what is actually on offer is quite different: they wisely interpret calls for "Paris-scale density" as something more like "Sejong City-scale density".
This dickhead was just fined $42,000 for illegally clearing almost 500 acres of habitat.
If he had sought the correct permits it would have cost him $2.248 million.
That fine will really teach him a lesson. 🤨
Heed NSW warnings! @ChrisMinnsMP

Albo acknowledges that pokies are “overwhelmingly” the largest cause of gambling harm in Australia but is doing diddly squat about this. His Labor Party even runs four predatory pokies venues in Canberra and Sydney, something no other political party in the world does.
No surprise we still haven't seen the crackdown on gambling advertising (that 75% of Australians want!) when their representatives from the major parties continue to accept gifts and donations from the gambling industry.
Almost three years after the Murphy Review was handed down it's shameful the govt hasn't taken action to curb the harms of gambling ads.

72% of Australians support a total ban on gambling ads.
It’s been 881 days since the Murphy Report recommended that Parliament ban gambling advertising.
30% of Australian children aged 12 to 17 gamble - they lose nearly $20 million every year.
Backbenchers agree, but the govt's refusing to act.
We need a conscience vote on gambling ads.

The Wombat-Lerderderg, Mount Buangor and Pyrenees national parks just got the protection they deserve! Tens of thousands of hectares of habitat and hundreds of rare and threatened wildlife are safe
Smart countries don’t cut funding to their world-leading science and technology research organisations.
The Albanese government has to step up and provide adequate support for research and development in Australia - it has to invest in our future. https://t.co/8QEKEE17Tl
