This week, Amy Remeikis is (correctly) linking the housing crisis facing #Australia with the #Howard Government, quite susinctly.

And just like Howard, who was told by the Productivity Commission in 2004 – in a briefing prepared for his cabinet – that an urgent review of his capital gains tax changes was needed to arrest the jumps in the housing market, every single government has only made short-term changes that ultimately make the situation worse, rather than get to the root cause. And they are STILL doing it.

Taken on a trip to Tasmania this year, super deep in the middle of a temperate rainforest. I knew places like that still existed, but nothing really prepares you for actually being there.
It felt very special being a tiny thing surrounded by a mass of very fragile, very long-lived relics of what the earth looked like a long time ago.
