I would argue that it's quite easy to judge, at any distance, the collective punishment of civilians through the withholding of the essentials of life.

We've a referendum this weekend largely on whether we're ready to confront uncomfortable and complex consequences of a history of colonial violence. What's more difficult is reconciling these sorts of statements from a government that says it is.

Troy Gray, the secretary of the Electrical Trades Union (ETU), told Guardian Australia that a campaign would be launched by an alliance of unions and outdoor recreation and hunting groups next week, urging a database of about 300,000 emails to contact their local Labor MP.

Members of the Building Industry Group of Unions, which includes the ETU as well as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union, the CFMEU and the plumbers’ union, have also committed to spending a further $2m on the campaign to “defend our rights to the great outdoors”.

If you’re a member of one of these unions it might be a good time to get in touch and ask them wtf they think they’re doing with your dues.

The housing policy we’ve seen from Labor has been disastrously bad.

  • A refusal to invest in public housing, instead intending to repeat the “social and affordable” model that has already been a dismal failure in Victoria. …well, unless you’re a housing developer.

  • Housing targets that focus on commercial builds while we’ve 40+ years of public housing deficit in every state and territory.

  • And now this which sees people entering into loans they’d otherwise be told they can’t afford and literally sees the government invested in continuing capital growth of real estate prices for decades to come when the policies we need, properly implemented, would diminish or even end that growth.

Start by getting welfare above the poverty line and keeping it there. Then there’s a small matter of about 40 years worth of public housing that needs building.

Both anchor women to lethally dangerous situations and are both creating pressures that increase the rates of domestic violence in the first place.
