Canstruct’s contract has cost us $1.8 billion to date. Just putting that in context…That could deliver 6000 modest homes in regional areas across Australia and house up to 18,000 people for the rest of their lives. Economic rationalists indeed. https://t.co/yqDOyAVqOA

This is a huge step. The @beyondzeronews #MillionJobsPlan now has a solid economic model behind it.

GDP ⬆️
Jobs ⬆️
Energy prices? ⬇️

We need a green & gold recovery.

Next step - to continue to grow the project database (which matches the key areas). And fund those projects.

A gas-led recovery plan isn't a recovery plan

It's not good for people.
It's not good for the planet.

As the sunniest & one of the windiest continents on Earth, experts say Aust could be renewable energy powerhouse

Now that would be an exciting & sensible recovery plan

A couple of reflections after a weekend watching and speaking to residents on Victoria’s public housing estates. Not surprisingly, there is a diversity of views among residents ranging from fury, through to distress fear and relief that problems are being dealt with, but ...1/4

So...limiting education by increasing fees continues to increase disadvantage & mortality rate. Research says education-mortality link holds: if there were no education-related inequalities death rate would be 30% lower. Great own goal #auspol https://t.co/HP2q6Y2Ri6

The Somyurek scandal is just the latest example of how the end game of our politics has increasingly become the accumulation and exercise of power and influence rather than the delivery of good government in our national interest - politics is attracting the wrong sort of people

Further illustration our procedures fail to protect those @ greatest risk of CoVid; patients doctors & health workers. This article suggest there is little support for anyone at any level & an incredible lack of foresight, planning, responsibility & care. https://t.co/1bRVN8MCtE

I've drawn some posters of NSW South Coast places, in the aftermath of the Australian bushfires. They'll appear in ACM newspapers as part of a tourism campaign, then be available for sale as prints and posters to raise recovery $$
