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.

I should steal junk food. Copy that.

Love the scare acronym, BTW. Y’know, I might consider taking this article seriously if they hadn't plastered it with inline clickbait ads encouraging me to wrap my doorknobs in tinfoil. #meeja #jermalisms

Since the article fails to address the point, I wonder: do #cohealth's #HealthAndSafety policies address leaving female staff alone with intoxicated men? Has the additional risk of sexual and/or physical violence been deemed acceptable?

This isn't a simple rostering issue.
