Not to mention AboRentGate - paying the rent without reason via multiple backhand ways - land grabs, national parks 'ownership', straight cash handouts, royalties and rights to 'negotiate' (= demand payment) with primary producers and by extension everyone else over the use of their own bought and paid for land (two laws under the same roof), royalties, special jobs requiring their special mumbo-jumbo, titles over fully occupied city centres etc and eventual demands for 'rent', rights to protect what they consider sacred land without any restrictions or specifications on what that is meaning every single thing will require some baksheesh - ALL of which the general public, via taxes and costs of living etc, will be paying for - so you are all 'paying the rent' without ever being asked.

Next time your government wants to put a rail line or highway through to open up some area it will be over 'sacred land' and subject to rent payments.... every housing development will be the same......

What a joke.... and you are all so blind that you cannot begin to see it.

Civil War is already upon us and we are unarmed and unready and essentially helpless while our governments rape us.  It's up to you... stand or fall..... I'll be on that boat sailing offshore with the bloke waving to you and saying - "Over there lives the madness - here is sanity."

Tear Down the Walls - and throw your politicians etc out with nothing...... let them find their way in the real world.

Labor announces $2bn for ‘thousands’ of new social rental homes and passes motion to make housing a human right

Albo was obviously forced into making this announcement at the Victorian ALP conference this weekend, given that the rank and file demanded Labor maintain 'housing is a human right' in its platform.

Good.  And he didn't miss the chance to criticize the Greens who also want more action on public housing than Labor's pathetic 'housing fund' gamble on the stock market...to avoid "dipping into the budget" - which is itself errnoeous neoliberal ideology.

At least now there is some light between Labor and the Coaltion on public housing.

It will be interesting to see what the government does if the voice vote  fails.

Reconciliation pushed back for ages? I don't think so, rather it might inspire actual policy to close the gap.

That would be a very good outcome.

At one level you have to admire the Labor Left. The sheer folly of its addictive demands for pointless gestures and empty, counter-productive symbolism, its determination to embarrass and harm even the friendliest government, to cut short if it possibly can the electoral acceptance of Labor by the mainstream Australian electorate – in all this there is a kind of grandeur of absurdity.

No one will ever accuse these people of being reasonable, or of selling out to common sense.

The Albanese government is the most left-wing Labor administration since Gough Whitlam. It is delivering bucket loads of policy to the left, on industrial relations, industry policy, climate change, welfare, tax, every form of identity politics, support for far-reaching constitutional change, etc. But for the Left, too much is never enough.
