  1. Australia keeps marching toward record population growth, yet we rarely stop to ask what rapid density does to social cohesion. Calhoun’s famous mouse experiment is not a perfect analogy for humans, but it is a reminder that abundance alone does not guarantee a healthy society. Worth a read.

  6. So Melbourne’s now the ninth most unaffordable city in the world to buy a home. But let’s be real—Sydney’s been unaffordable for years, Brisbane’s catching up fast, Perth’s gone mad, Adelaide’s no bargain, and even Hobart’s cooked.
    Darwin and Canberra? Same story.
    It's a nationwide housing disaster, and the only people winning are developers and investors. The rest of us are locked out.

  11. For all the rusted-on LNP voters who bang on about immigration and “protecting Aussie values” — here’s your party quietly pushing for a huge increase in migration to serve their corporate mates.
    Same people who yell “No room!” for refugees are now cheering for more overseas workers to keep wages low and profits high.
    You’re being played. Again.

  16. City of Moreton Bay Clears Homeless Camps, Discards Belongings.
    The City of Moreton Bay Council has started removing tents and personal belongings of rough sleepers as part of a crackdown on "illegal" homeless encampments.

  21. Living Standards in Crisis: A Decade of Stagnation.
    Over the past 10 years, living standards in Australia have taken a massive hit. Disposable incomes per person have grown by a mere 0.15% annually—one of the weakest performances in the developed world.
    This isn’t just a number—it’s a reflection of the struggles families face every day. It’s time to ask: why are we falling behind, and what can be done to turn this around?

  31. @KilKerrin How convenient for developers! Higher-density housing might help with affordability, but not if it sacrifices the character of our suburbs. Genuine community input should shape this, not just profit-driven motives. Millennials deserve better solutions than cookie-cutter high-rises. #BetterNotBigger #auspol

  41. @abcfeeds The decline in Australia's birth rate, from 2.7 children per family to just one, is a direct outcome of mass immigration policies that drive up the cost of living, especially housing. When local families are priced out of the market and face economic uncertainty, having children becomes less affordable. This isn't simply a demographic shift—it's the result of policies that put population growth ahead of the economic wellbeing of Australian citizens. Until we address these underlying issues, the fertility rate will likely continue to fall.

  46. Is Australia’s middle class falling behind? With inflation and skyrocketing house prices, financial stability feels out of reach for many Australians. Even households with six-figure incomes are struggling to pay rent or mortgages, let alone afford any luxuries. Some are postponing retirement or taking on extra work just to make ends meet.
