@stevebetteridg6 @SydneyYIMBY The argument that one approval decision can’t solve a housing crisis across a nation of 27 million people is the dictionary definition of a flimsy argument

@aus_econ @SydneyYIMBY The defence land which is the subject of this discussion is so small as to be insignificant in terms of relieving any sort of pressure on housing. Haberfield is a nice area, and just because a bunch of people want to live there, shouldn’t mean they can.

We’re here tonight at Inner West Council looking at the Haberfield Defence Land DCP. First up is Emily from Sydney YIMBY in favour of turning the land into apartments. Here’s her speech:

@stevebetteridg6 @SydneyYIMBY Your argument consists of the following: “I don’t want more housing in haberfield”. Do you say that argument is anything other than flimsy and if so how?

@SydneyYIMBY These arguments are all so flimsy. Maybe Emily can live somewhere other than haberfield. I know this area, and it’s quite small. Who would want public housos there?

@trustyriffs @SydneyYIMBY Honestly I have no idea but she doesn’t need to - housing affordability is not a hannerfield issue and the home owners of haberfield do not have ownership of the suburb. She lives in Sydney it’s her city too

@SydneyYIMBY Does Emily live in Haberfield?

@dig_deeper1 Australian here - your system is dumb and you’ve voted repeatedly to keep it that way, why are you guys like this

One of my handymen went to the hospital because he felt ill and was there for two days, doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with him. The doctors didn’t even give him pills for the pain. His bill he has to pay out of pocket is $20,000 Majority of his saving down the drain. He went to a good border town in Mexico well known for healthcare professionals and they found what was wrong with him and did some surgery and what he paid was a fraction of the cost of the US.

@ParissAthena Wages grow faster than inflation and so real wages recover.. this has happened many times in history it’ll be ok

@MichaelPascoe01 Another boomer running the same tired lines to deprive future generations of what they have - pulling the drawbridge up behind them

The mega residential planning reform covering 70% of Sydney will cause more problems than it solves if developers get their proposed simplistic "let 'er rip" regulation. Check the Urban Design Association submission thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2024/0…

@Mounlrr Me a person living in Sydney who paid $2m for a home half this size: ‘that’s actually not bad’

This is the last fucking straw dude omg

@QBCCIntegrity This is incorrect Clive Palmer donated $2m through mineralogy and it’s not on this list. You’re being dudded

Australia: This is a list of Australia’s top 20 corporate donations to the UNDRIP Voice to Parliament Referendum campaigns. The top 19 of the 20 supported the YES campaign. These are the same woke corps that furiously support WEF/UN agenda such as Digital ID, CBDC & Mis/Dis

@EndWokeness Oh no the price of fries stayed the same and a shake went up 5 cents.. and everyone had way more income to pay for this

California hiked the minimum wage to $20 per hour for fast food workers this week. You'll never guess what happened next.

@jkostecki_rei @bavedikian Why are we ‘solving for’ family things now? Must we tech bro-ify every facet of our lives

I would like to thank my landlord for his generosity. For allowing me and my family to live in a property he owns. All we have to do is pay him rent every month. For accepting mediocre returns on his capital so that I can earn much higher returns on my capital by investing into my business and into real estate. For taking on the risk of all major components of the property including the HVAC system, roof, foundation, plumbing and electrical systems, etc. The value he is adding to my family is appreciated and does not go unnoticed.

@patbcaruana Stats show cash is now substantially used in crime, so you’re right to have such a suspicion

@JeromeFahrer @hughriminton @FinancialReview Yes Jerome the interpretation of the data is that all allied health workers including jobs like pharmacists, sonographers, optometrists, podiatrists, paramedics and psychologists all work for the ndis… it’s a patently false assumption and a very silly/irresponsible article

@hughriminton @FinancialReview There is zero chance that this is true. The vast bulk of spending on health and related areas, and so the vast bulk of jobs created in those industries, has nothing to do with the NDIS. .

This is a worry: almost 1/3 Australian jobs created in the last year were linked to the NDIS. @financialreview afr.com/policy/economy…

@sbxr The data is very incorrect - it assumes that all allied health workers (which include jobs like pharmacists, paramedics, sonographers, optometrists, psychologists) work in the NDIS, which is patently incorrect.

Hell's Bells ! 1 in 3. A welfare society... NDIS has gone from $15B pa when first proposed... Cap the dammed thing. Every other entity has to live to a budget - cap it and let the NDIS org work out where the benefit needs to land.

@LibsSuckaBigOne lol she’s really just saying it’s tragic there are brown and black people in her city selling things. Just an unmitigated racist

@js_patterson @abcnews Ah yes one of those natural air strikes in which people simply pass away

@OzGirlVigilante Did the toddler survive?

Is it just me or is this accident really strange? How could two grown men drown in a resort pool? 9news.com.au/national/queen…

@JohnOBrien101 lol ok buddy

Today is “ drain your banks funds day” Go to the bank and make a cask withdrawal. It doesn’t matter how big or small, just make that withdrawal. Let’s let the banks and the Gov’t know we do not want digital currency. I’ve done my part, let’s all get behind this.

@BeijingDai Wild theory that nato will barge into this war when they haven’t for years and have said they won’t consistently from the beginning and do to so would likely start WW3 but ok

I believe the following two things about the Russo Ukrainian war: 1. This war will end on the Dnieper River. The main reason is that current front line is over 2,000 kilometers. From an economic perspective, neither Ukraine nor Russia can maintain such a long front for a long time, which requires millions of soldiers to be stationed forever. Only separated by the Dnieper River, the two side can maintain the front line with afforardable economic cost. 2. Russia will not attack Odessa. Europe and NATO will consider the western side of Dnieper River as "its territory", and attacking Odessa is likely to trigger a chain reaction in Moldova and NATO member Romania. NATO is highly likely to officially participate in the war.

@IFM_Economist Excluding volatiles, trimmed mean 3 month all point to inflation being right in the range or even below it

Inflation gauge for March weaker on headline measure but fairly solid on the trimmed mean mom%

@the_transit_guy $18k in repayments since 2020 x 3 years = $56k in repayments on a $78k truck with $72k left to pay lololol my god

What this couple pays for both of their trucks in a month is the same as what I would pay for 91 weeks’ worth of subway and bus rides.
