    Unsheltered in the wide open spaces

    Unhoused in Australia: "‘A sobering indictment’: 14 homeless people die a year in public parks or countryside in Australia, analysis finds:"

    "Between 2010 and 2020, 54 rough sleepers died in public parks, the analysis shows. Eighty-five homeless Australians died in countryside areas – including in bushland, desert, beaches and riverbanks – in the same period...It is a sobering indictment of societal abandonment and systemic failure." >>

    Australian wealth inequality frays the social fabric

    "The top 10% of households now control 44% of all wealth in Australia. The collective wealth of the richest 200 Australians has nearly tripled over two decades, mostly from property and resources – economic activities that extract value from existing assets rather than new productive capacities; what economists call “rent-seeking”.

    "Rent-seeking concentrates wealth away from productivity-enhancing investments – in business innovation, public infrastructure and worker wages. This leaves ordinary people paying ever-higher proportions of their income for necessities. Ordinary Australians have little to celebrate."

    Protesters from Málaga on the Costa del Sol to Vigo in the Atlantic northwest chanted “end the housing racket” and “landlords are guilty, the government is responsible”.

    The presence of koalas devalues land in settler society

    "The Myrtle Beach centre was once on virgin land (?) and is now surrounded by high-rise buildings on three sides, with the ocean on the remaining side. A stunning eastern vista offers views of Mudjimba and Maroochydore beaches, Mount Coolum, the Maroochy River and protected wetlands. Several real estate experts placed the value of Avatar's Abode at more than $20 million, at a time when similarly sized Wises' farm at nearby Buderim is expected to fetch more than $50 million."

    "However, one valuer said a significant koala habitat on the land and its rural zoning could diminish the land's worth to as low as $5 million for prospective developers."
