@RameshSings Yeah, I’m so disappointed. I’ve always loved her, never seen her live. And this is her swan song 🥲

FWIW, my story on Peter Dutton's property portfolio was NOT information from a Labor "dirt unit". December 23 was when I asked the Age's Library to start pulling ASIC company records (see below) and Feb 7 was when I contacted the Clerk's office to look at his register.

This man has been gaslit by his own side, the LNP, and the far Left. This is the reality for Jewish Australians who hold political office , treated as expendable, easy targets, ignored.

Yet, he continues to bring reason to the debate.

Heading off to #BlueSky

10 years ago today #IlhamTohti was given a life sentence on baseless "separatist" charges for simply seeking to build bridges of understanding among ethnic communities. He must be freed and the PRC must end its genocidal efforts to erase #Uyghur culture and religion, say Chairs.

What @krassenstein said

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Wow.

If you are to watch one video this morning, watch this.

Pete Buttigieg perfectly explains why Billionaires in Silicon Valley now support Trump and why J.D. Vance has flip flopped to liking Trump.

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

[Kos Samaras @KosSamaras]

Most comments here treat renters as a homogeneous group, but they are not. Many also assume renters are concentrated in inner-city suburbs. In fact, Broadmeadows, one of Melbourne's poorest suburbs, has nearly half of its residents renting—double the rate of any other tenure type.

These renters are on extremely low wages, and their landlords are mostly the stereotypical mum-and-dad investors, likely living in nearby suburbs. Any additional pressure will force these landlords to sell, and the renters in Broadmeadows, many of whom are refugees, cannot afford to buy homes.

It will take many of these renters over a decade to establish themselves in this country and maybe be in the position to buy a home. A typical journey for many refugees and newly arrived migrants.

A similar dynamic exists in Glenroy, a suburb situated in Merri-bek.

@Bowenchris So tough to lose your Dad. He sounds like a wonderful man.
