Affordable & Social housing at Glebe Island must be;
-minimum 30% of total floor space
-max 30% of income/ not “market rent”
-in perpetuity, not short term
- include social not only affordable housing
America first. Today’s Age cartoon
Quoted here on Glebe Island plans (let’s ignore meaningless Bays West).
Most important;
-public interest/public space led
-street, park & promenade network, connected beyond island
-mix, not just wealthy development enclave
-social & affordable housing in perpetuity

So the world’s most infamous draft dodger wants the unarmed Iranian people to rise up against one of the world’s most ruthless bunch, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

In Japan there are 36 words for walking!
Like Japanese cities, the language is highly pedestrian friendly
The disgusting AUKUS agreement has locked Australians into Trumps military madness.
The public can’t get an honest answer from our govt, we are treated with contempt as our military personnel engage in illegal US/ Israeli warmongering. What’s next, sinking Chinese warships?
This is so worth repeating:
Even in dodgy world of Sydney policing in 1980’s, even then Trump was seen as too suspect to be granted a casino licence!
Yet USA allowed him to be voted President… twice
Yes housing approvals may be poor, but housing construction completions the real measure of any improvement. The rest just land speculation..
& what type of housing proposed?
In Sydney it’s hi-end housing, costly towers & more sprawl - hardly helping make better cities or affordable housing
It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.
How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?
The ALP in your head is long dead.

"Israel’s new ambassador to Australia says it is mind-boggling anyone would question the legality of the US-Israeli strikes against Iran"
it is mind-boggling that this propagandist for a genocidal apartheid rogue state is cited as an authority on international law.

Can we have Australian input @brenttoderian.bsky.social. @philipthalis.bsky.social and @sustainabletall.bsky.social and
@emfarrelly.bsky.social
Would have so much to contribute.
This is actually quite plausible… especially as it’s a Republican Congressman making the claim
Guy alters my cartoon by AI in a way my workplace lawyers specifically advised me against, posts his version which violates my intellectual property. I ask him repeatedly to delete, he admits he doesn’t know how then tells me to provide the legal argument for him to do it.

Spruikers always refer to DA approvals in terms of economic activity - but that’s just land speculation
Here great site in Sydney’s Haymarket opposite Belmore Pk - approved a decade ago - still just a hole in ground.
For genuine activity & density, real measure is construction not DA approvals.
Apocalyptic!
Big storm coming over Sydney so release the bats!
Never good to have a demented delinquent as US President, either for Americans or for everyone else.
Vote him out & then jail him

"Social cohesion" is so very important to Labor, isn't it @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social.

a chart showing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions being above the 43% target, and probably going to be above the 62% by 2035 target as well
* a chart showing that greenhouse gas emissions for both Anthony Albanese's first fourteen quarters and Scott Morrison's first 15 quarters have been pretty much roughly the same
- Australia's emissions continue to trend well above the trajectory towards the 2030 target of a 43% reduction (including unreliable land-use data)
- Albanese is 1 quarter away from matching Scott Morrison's tenure; fossil emissions have remained pretty much the same (this excludes land-use data)

As a long-term Trustee representing the City of Sydney, it’s always great to see the crucial public education role of our cultural institutions.

Scandalous
No Penny, it should not be left to the US to speak on the legality of unleashing war on Iran. As Iranian children are slaughtered the world faces escalating instability, battling Aussies face increased petrol prices, our leaders must lead! Morality comes before appeasing Trump.
The Daily Show reminded us in the montage below how Netanyahu has LIED about the "imminent" threat of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons since 1995. Netanyahu has for years wanted US to bomb Iran. Netanyahu simply found in Trump a moron willing to sacrifice Americans for his cause:
