Unelected prime minister Rishi Sunak asked unelected King Charles III to give unelected David Cameron a peerage so he could serve as unelected foreign secretary with a seat in the unelected House of Lords. That's democracy for you.

Bravo @adele_ferguson 💃🏼👏🏼 for your outstanding expose of a rapacious medical health system profiteering from people’s misery.
Health - like education - must be nationalised. Economic rationalism has failed us badly.

She could have sold her books, spent her billions, shut up about things she knows nothing about, and died with a great legacy. Instead she has become a controversial figure who not only denies a vulnerable minority their rights, but their very existence.

We are extremely disappointed to hear NSW Police Commissioner describe the alleged murder of Jesse Baird & his partner Luke Davies as a ''crime of passion''. Domestic violence is never about passion, it is driven by obsession & power. We will be communicating this to NSW police.

I live in an area with a large number of Black folks in public housing & Aboriginal-controlled community housing & yes there should be more of it. Certainly would be better than more rich people moving in to the area or more low income apartments being transformed into airbnbs.

We just donated $500 from our climate resistance fund to support the upcoming Heat safe Frankston community event. The event is led by customer member Alison who is passionate about ensuring all households are supported to adapt to new climate extremes.👇

Aust is incarcerating more on remand because of the housing crisis. Those without secure housing are less likely to get bail. Indigenous Australians made up 61% of the rise. We urgently need housing alternatives. #HousingCrisis

In Finland, the largest grocery network is cooperative owned. Check out this Saturday read, and imagine what our society would look like if Woolies or Coles was owned by the people.

Calls to 'increase supply' with build-to-rent can profit developers and investors more than #renters.

Huge thanks to @Co_Power_ and their customers for supporting our project to create a "Cohousing Connector" directory. The Connector will allow communities to share vacancies as well as connecting individuals keen to create #cohousing #CommunityLedHousing
Our members are using our budget to take action on the housing crisis!

#cohousing, co-living and community-led housing offer us a third, innovating way or responding to the #HousingCrisis. Are you a single mother concerned about housing? @CohousingAus wants to hear from you #singlemom #parentpayment #housingmarket #familyhomelessness
Govts treat #housing as an investment. #Landlords faced with regulation swing the disinvestment threat but if they left the housing sector because they cannot meet standards, it cd be a good outcome. #HousingCrisis #heat @BetterRentingAU #auspol
