Change is not coming from the Government, Out of 227 sitting federal MPs and senators, only twelve declared no property ownership.

one-bedroom “affordable housing” properties at $350 per week, is equal or higher than the rate of #Jobseeker itself, which begs the question — affordable for whom? Tying rent not to the tenant’s income but to the brutal private property rental market

Organised abandonment and Victoria’s Big Housing Build - Overland literary journal

The crisis is not due to a physical shortage of properties. Rather, it is a series of intentional decisions by Governments to prioritise a system of private property over peoples’ basic human need for shelter, allowing landlords and corporations to continue to hoard housing and extract wealth from tenants via rent.

Why Did I Build a Dome 3,000km From Home?? (I’m Still Not Sure)

So... I kinda said yes to building an entire observatory dome... on the other side of Australia.

Everyone said we were insane. No crew. No backup. Just a dome, a dream, and way too many snacks.

This video is pure chaos: assembling a giant research-grade observatory from scratch, battling time, tools, and the Australian sun. We got sunburnt, we got stuck, and yes — we had at least one breakdown (maybe two).

But in the end? The dome stands. And we’re kinda proud of it.

Was it smart? Debatable.
Did we finish it? You’ll see.
Was it worth it? 1000%.

Victoria's Big Housing Build is tipping $5.3bn into social accommodation — not everyone's happy with where it's going

A $5.3 billion fund – billed as the nation’s largest-ever investment by a state government in social housing – was rolled out in Victoria four years ago. Now questions are being asked about where the money's being spent.

Another weekend of no trains on most of the Frankston line. Why? “Due to works.” Thanks for that. #Melbourne #PublicTransport #BigBuild
Thanks, I hate it.

Big Build Works Heat Up This Winter | Premier of Victoria

Works on Victoria’s Big Build will heat up over winter with more level crossings gone for good, a new train station set to open and huge progress on major road and rail projects. In Melbourne’s west, Footscray Road will reopen on 15 June after more than 400 massive concrete segments, each weighing 100 tonnes, were lifted into place to build the new elevated road as part of the West Gate Tunnel Project.
