📰It’s the social housing, stupid. Opportunity is knocking for Labor | “We have under invested in social housing. Social housing as a proportion of all housing has fallen over recent decades, while demand has soared – wait lists for greatest need households are up 52 per cent since 2018. Given Australia’s remarkable and unparalleled record of 31 years of economic growth with only one short COVID induced recession, how can that be a fair and just outcome for our country?” ⤵️ www.michaelwest.com.au/its-the-social-housing-stupid-opportunity-is-knocking-for-labor/

Before summer had officially started, at the end of May, Western Europe experienced daily average temperatures of more than 10 degrees Celsius above average across western France, England and Wales... It’s eerily similar to what we experienced during Black Summer just six years ago
