Why the Coalition's super for housing policy is unlikely to boost home ownership, in one chart. Most of those struggling to buy a home don't have much super. The poorest 20% of renting households aged 25-34 have just $5,000 in super, whereas the wealthiest 20% have $70,000+.
Something has gone wrong in the Anglosphere

One simple first step for Labour decision makers to demonstrate they have listened to what so many people are telling them on Gaza, not just members of the Muslim community but from right across our society, is to demand an end to arms sales to Israel.
We are wiping $3 billion in student debt for more than 3 million Australians.

Dylan Sullivan, doing his PhD @socsci_mq, just presented his research @POLISatLeeds questioning the consensus on global poverty and China's liberalisation. Sad I couldn't be there. Check out his published work here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Dwelling approvals lowest since 2012. So rents will rise, increasing the CPI, which will lead to louder calls from monetary hawks to increase interest rates - which will lead to further falls in dwelling approvals. Madness!

We can take $1,000 off power bills because we took the big decision to make multinational coal companies pay their fair share. And because we have kept our energy assets in public hands – where they belong.
New @marmotihe analysis confirms since 2010 central government spending cuts to local authorities were highest in areas with lower life expectancy and more health inequalities, further harming health in these places @MichaeMarmot @ucl bit.ly/LEGAP
A military assault on Rafah would be an unbearable escalation, killing thousands more civilians & forcing hundreds of thousands to flee. It would have a devastating impact on Palestinians in Gaza, with serious repercussions on the occupied West Bank & across the wider region.
Arnhem has the right idea. Cancelling debt is a cheap and effective way of saving lives and money - not just at the municipal level. If only the EU had realised that a decade ago, Europe would not be in steep decline (while the ultra-Right rises) today. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
I guess we should not be surprised that the Liberals want to destroy super and push up housing prices even more. It would make the already rich multiple home owners very happy @josephgmitchell thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2024/0…
Israeli scholar of the Holocaust @bartov_omer argues that accusations of antisemitism levied at campus protests against Israel's occupation of Palestine are disingenuous. “There’s nothing threatening about opposing occupation or oppression."
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.

Kudos to the ABC and to Compass for this film. And kudos to @antloewenstein for his extraordinary courage. I’m amazed at how he has endured the relentless attacks on him and his family.
Love to share the powerful opening sequence of the new film, ‘Not In My Name’, airing on @ABCTV on 5 May at 6.30pm on the Compass program. It’s directed by the fantastic Brietta Hague. It’s about Palestine, Gaza, critcal Judaism, my work and life et al. I’m rapt to announce…
I have just baked the ugliest little Palestinian aniseed cookies and I won’t drop a photo because they are UGLY but gosh they’re so good, just need someone to hook me up with some sage from Palestine and these would go so well with tea
The social welfare function, Aussie style: Gina Rinehart pays a single dollar of tax, to the poorest person in the country. That’s it. Optimised for min tax, max progressive ‘efficiency’. That’s utopia.
I’ve seen a lot of takes that this is middle class welfare, or Labor aping US political talking points. This extremely modest tax cut targets the generations who are simultaneously paying high personal tax rates, 11% super, Medicare levy, while trying to save for a house. 🧵
We’re making student loans fairer and cheaper. We’ll cap how your loan is indexed so you’ll pay less over the life of the loan. And we’ll deliver $3 billion in HELP loan credits to relieve some of the cost that came with last year's inflation spike.
The grand bargain where unis accept poor research funding from gov in exchange for everyone turning a blind eye to their price gouging from a semi-captured market of postgrad kids in their 20s… seems bad.
Just looked up recipe for beer batter... Flour Beer Yep, can do.
Delighted about reduction in #HECS student debt hike but why does there have to be any indexation at all. Surely it is enough just to pay back amount of original debt. thenewdaily.com.au/life/education…
This is great news. Well done Dr Ryan.
Fantastic news on HECS debts this morning. Thank you to each and every one of the 288,004 people who signed the petition.
One simple first step for Labour decision makers to demonstrate they have listened to what so many people are telling them on Gaza, not just members of the Muslim community but from right across our society, is to demand an end to arms sales to Israel.
I don't understand why Labor is having to be dragged - why not get ahead of this and claim it as a win? (because they want to keep the revenue)
I had the privilege of addressing the Trinity College Dublin encampment earlier. Humbling to be there. Total respect. Whatever happens in the days ahead, you have made your mark. Thank you all so very very much. #FreePalestine. All eyes on Gaza.
Proud to see @tcddublin students joining the global campus movement. Solidarity with staff and students challenging complicity and demanding divestment from Israel.
The higher ed funding model is a bust. @AlboMP should stop tinkering & redraw the model. Invest in students & get payback through the tax system, not HECS. Fund research properly, directly. Stop making unis hostage to international student fee income. Can be done. #auspol
We are wiping $3 billion in student debt for more than 3 million Australians.

The mallee in the mist. One night when I was at Gluepot, it dropped below freezing. This was sunrise as I headed off to go birding. Even the birds have more sense than to be active in such chilly conditions.
My beautiful Matt planted hundreds of trees in his lifetime. Just a couple of days before he died we went to a nursery together and he bought 3 trees. He was breathless from the chemo so I dug the holes for him. These spirits who understand the circle of life are everything. 🥰
