Today, my membership cancellation has been processed by the NSW Branch of the #Labor Party (#NSWLabor). It no longer represents me, nor many thousands of others I’m sure, and has used up all the loyalty and trust I once had invested in it.

From now on my membership fees and any donation I might have made to the Party will be directed elsewhere (not a political party), to where I think will help #Australia get back on track to #SocialDemocracy where the benefits equally flow to all Australians and not just the #ChoosenFew. As for my vote, it will have to earn it back.

#Poverty is a political choice
#HousingAffordability is a political choice
#CivicLiberties are a political choice
#EquityDiversityInclusion are a political choice
#WealthDistribution is a political choice
#CostOfLiving is a political choice

There is no getting away from #politics nor our civic duty to make sound political choices for all of us living, on this stollen land, on the great #SouthernLand.

They're talking about government-mandated #RentControl. The article doesn't mention it, because #jermalisms, but we have it in #Canberra. My #rent went up $5/week last year; were we still in #Brisbane, we'd be paying exactly twice what we were five years ago.

We don't have a #HousingAffordability problem in #Australia—we have a politician problem. There's simply no political will at state or federal levels to rein landlords in.
