16.01.2022 How about getting more people on public transport instead of building ever more roads?

11.01.2022 You can see Sydney's population growth simply by trying to drive on their roads.

09.01.2022 Have a look at this. He does us proud.

02.01.2022 Shipping containers for housing. Use for refugees too?

01.01.2022 There’s an injustice at the heart of Brisbane’s construction boom. Low-rent sharehouses and boarding houses are being demolished to make room for apartments tha...t are often too expensive (and inappropriately designed) for poorer residents. Property investors collect empty homes like trading cards, often choosing to leave new apartments vacant rather than renting them out cheaply. The supply glut of apartments hasn’t significantly improved housing affordability (and unfortunately, under current political and economic conditions, a sudden property market crash would likely hit the poorest the hardest). Frustratingly, the increased rates revenue that council collects from new apartments isn’t necessarily reinvested in the neighbourhoods that are directly impacted by the development. It goes into general revenue, and is largely spent on mega-projects that might impress the media (and the corporations who tender for these mega-projects) but don’t materially improve the lives of ordinary residents. So what can residents do to get their voices heard when council ignores them?... Emma Redland Clare Rudkin Wally Wight
