@SpectatorOz Nature and biodiversity should be appreciated for both its important role in our health and wellbeing and its intrinsic value. This 'develop every square metre' urge should be rejected for what it is - dumb and self-defeating.

WHAT IF WE SPREAD OUT? 🤔 Australia is one of the largest countries on earth, yet most of its population and economic activity are concentrated in a narrow band along the south-eastern coast. A continent-sized nation, living in a corner of itself. This is often treated as a simple fact of geography. It is usually explained in terms of climate, distance, or historical settlement patterns. The north is hot, remote, and sparsely populated; the south-east is temperate, established, and economically dense. From this perspective, the distribution of population appears inevitable. But inevitability is not the same as optimality. Article | spectator.com.au/2026/04/a-cont…

Here is the how-to-vote card for Lucas James Ellis, Sustainable Australia Party's candidate for the 9 May 2026 Farrer By-election. Please share. 🙌😎🏡 Check out Lucas' campaign page link in the comments (and his ABC Radio interview today). 👇

@peter_tulip "Boosting demand is a counter-productive approach to housing affordability." Yes, 5% deposits, foreign investment, investor tax concessions, high immigration, lax bank lending practices, to name a few. It's largely a demand-driven crisis.

The 5% deposit guarantee has increased prices. Both sides need to learn from this mistake. Boosting demand is a counter-productive approach to housing affordability. For the Coalition, this means super-for-housing should wait until supply is increased. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-2…

@7NewsSydney We need affordable housing now, the sustainable way. @VoteSustainable

The future of housing in Australia is taking inspiration from the past. Multiple generations living under the same roof might seem like an old-fashioned idea, but as tonight's instalment of our Home Truth series shows, it's gaining renewed popularity.

The real issue is an economy built on housing, extraction and passive wealth. #auspol #TaxReform #Economy #Housing johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03/t…

@newscomauHQ An expert. LOL.

A strategy to highlight Pauline Hanson’s ties to the divisive “Make America Great Again” brand could backfire. Full story: bit.ly/41fJjFT

@PaulNAustin @GrattanInst Import more people to build more service stations? It's working well for you in the housing crisis. #sarcasmemoji

The @GrattanInst verdict on the fuel excise cut: Not as terrible as some economic commentators suggest. But shouldn’t become embedded in our policy response to the oil shock. And the long-term solution is to move to an electrified economy. skynews.com.au/insights-and-a… #auspol

@independentaus @alanaustin001 Labor’s twin hyper-demand policy agenda of high spending and high immigration in a supply-constrained economy is criminal. Causing enormous suffering, particularly for mortgage holders who are bearing the brunt of the inflation monster. Unfair and criminal.

She’s 22. She lives in Werribee or Campbelltown or Logan. Her parents can’t help her. No inheritance coming. Two hours to the city on a good day. Her parents went to One Nation. She’s going somewhere else. And it’s going to reshape Australian politics more than Pauline Hanson ever did. My detailed analysis on why Australia has now a Left and Right wing populist movement.

@CityHubSydney Labor prioritising luxury apartment developer subsidies while social housing building is at record low levels. Say it ain't so. @VoteSustainable

The Minn’s Labour Government’s $1 Million Australia-first scheme is set to bankroll the construction of another 300 new homes in Pyrmont and Westmead in the coming year. Read the full story here: cityhub.com.au/300-new-homes-…

👎 Sydney Swans are not live on FTA TV today because of the new AFL broadcast rights deal. Under this agreement, all Saturday matches for the first 10-11 weeks of the 2026 season are exclusive to Fox Footy and Kayo, meaning Channel 7 only broadcasts them on a delayed basis in NSW

The living standards of Australians will suffer after the treasurer downgraded the nation’s productivity outlook through to the 2030s. ebx.sh/e4Fekh

@JEChalmers Spin Jim. Utter pollie waffle.

We're not immune from global instability but we’re confronting these challenges from a position of genuine relative economic strength - with faster growth, stronger jobs growth and lower debt than every major advanced economy.

@MrRexPatrick Thanks, but your details are confusing and unsourced. You talk about "fuel stocks", then just "diesel". What is your source for the 300 days of fuel stock in 2002 and what fuel is this? Are you comparing apples with apples (i.e. is that useable fuel stocks *in tanks* in AUS)?

The word-dancing and spin in the parliament by the major parties is diminishing trust in our leaders and undermining public confidence in our fuel supply chains. Fuel politics is just not helping. So let's get to 👇the truth of the situation👇. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/dwindling-rese…

@SkyNewsAust The old regional development distraction.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers was recently presented with a solution for Australia’s housing crisis - one that would deliver a massive boost to Australia's regions. skynews.com.au/business/real-…
