I completely understand the dream of this couple and I would love to do it myself, but it's wholly unsustainable to allow people to set up home anywhere.

If I hit a cop, I can be killed. If a cop hits me, I can sue. And they get no consequences.
"It is my experience that many illegal drugs that are extensively used on the street result in people becoming extremely unpredictable, irrational and violent" says unpredictable, irrational and violent copper.
Dehumanising much?

NSW's native forests are worth more standing than shredded into woodchips. They protect wildlife, store carbon, safeguard water catchments and belong to future generations, not logging companies.
Premier Minns promised better. Time to end industrial native forest logging and protect what little remains. Add your voice.#nswpol #forests #koalas #climate

#GuardianAustralia, typically the best of a terrible lot amongst mainstream #AustralianMedia when it comes to reporting on issues of #justice & planetary crises, is still fundamentally a pro-capitalist organisation.
Today's snapshots:
- https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jul/27/nsw-considering-all-options-to-keep-power-bills-down-as-coal-cap-end-date-looms
An article on how #NSWLabor government under #ChrisMinns is considering expanding #coal subsidies that doesn't mention the fact that these are direct subsidies to the coal industry at a time of soaring profits due to Putin's war in Ukraine. Unmentioned: the "cap" on prices is accompanied by the government stepping in to pay coal companies for the gap between sky-high international coal prices & the cap on what local consumers pay for electricity. The article quotes the head of the coal lobby (former chief of staff to #MikeBaird btw) but no voices critical of the policy.

An article reporting on the worsening of the #HousingAffordability crisis framed exclusively in positive language (growth, rebound, recovery, clawed back lost value, recouping, revival, best (=highest)). Senior figure in property market quoted extensively. #auspol -
