@ABCthedrum @ellenmfanning @avrilhenry @RizviAbul In the 90’s teachers colleges were almalgmated with universities. This is when the practical teaching skills disappeared. Wrong move

#OlderAdults, particularly #women, struggle to afford rents. Share houses aren't always suitable or safe. Cohousing for seniors is a proven typology in many other countries, so why do communities here still face huge #planning policy and finance barriers?

No socialising, just internet. I don't buy clothes just wear holey stuff. Medicines every second day, shower once a week. Homelessness with the rent increase.
We urgently need housing models like #cohousing. What is ur MP doing about #Housing?

@AnneTiedemann1 Working hard on collaborative housing solutions for women over 50 so wonderful to see you working on health and improvements in long term mobility

We can’t move forward as a country while more than half of us are being held back.

Last week I launched a national survey so that all Australians can help shape our country’s first National Strategy for Gender Equality.

@DanTehanWannon @AlboMP You are the disgrace.. not the flag. Please spend your time on the 101 things higher on the list. Simply appalling waste of breath and time recording this absurd complaint

"In a 'betrayal of trust', the Perrottet Govt will use land put aside for conservation to offset yet more clearing of endangered bushland for new housing developments in western Sydney."

White people saying “why don’t we just fix Aboriginal people’s problems instead of listening to this Voice thing” with a straight face, 235 years into that experiment, is quite something.

A Saturday read about the long journey to founding Madrid's first eco-social housing cooperative in 2020. Much to learn from the way this community cares for each other and the wider world. #sustainabledevelopment #cooperative #cohousing #HousingForAll

@CohousingAus I think it was ‘think differently’ and find real answers to the main issues of housing, climate change and gender equality

Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a strengths-based approach to community development that uses skills or resources already present in a community to build community connections, opportunities & nurturing individuals,groups of people or place. https://t.co/IOhhFis3yA

A resource and toolkit for building community and interaction within apartment blocks #community #socialhousing https://t.co/gYcLQGbNFI

[Cohousing Australia @CohousingAus]

The idea of communal and co-living is age old. #Australia has moved far in from our 70s communes to models of collective independence, where sharing resources, co-caring and a sense of #belonging provide

[Cohousing Australia @CohousingAus]

Interested in #degrowth for #Australia? Much of #AusVotes2022 focuses on #employment and #wages to meet the #CostOfLivingCrisis. What about #deceleration #CooperativeAction #cohousing #conviviality #localfood #supplychaincrisis etc? ALP & LNP lack transformative ideas #policies

[Cohousing Australia @CohousingAus]

Research also suggests that as women age, in particular, they are attracted to models of cohousing and co-care. Think-tank @percapita and @myfan_jordan did some important research showing this. https://t.co/QQpatUPwp8

[Cohousing Australia @CohousingAus]

A fascinating micro-history of how Community Land Trusts #CLT emerged in southern USA. But how do we in #AusVotes2022 get this on the policy agenda? Ask your candidate what they're doing to support #local #HousingForAll that doesn't rely on 'affordable' #housingmarket development

[Cohousing Australia @CohousingAus]
