My hiphop/folk band Rivermouth just released a new track (listen/download via Bandcamp). No, these lyrics are not a policy statement or legislative proposal - they're simply a reflection of growing frustration in our communities where thousands of renters are becoming desperate.

We captured the BIG MOMENTS LAST WEEK when I kicked Adani's butt in the Supreme Court. BUT after 4+ years Adani think they can win just by outlasting me financially and have 28 days to appeal. Help me finish them off and WIN👇🏼 chuffed.org/project/legends

Quick reminder that one of the main reasons Peter Dutton is launching a crusade against working from home is that inner-city commercial landlords don't want to lower their rents.

Hamas offered to return all hostages for a permanent truce. Now Israel is carpet bombing instead of allowing the second stage of the ceasefire to continue as promised. The death toll in less than 24 hours is 419 and counting. The goal was always mass extermination.

There's some pretty good stuff in the Budget, but nothing really for housing. One of the biggest issues Australians face is going to need more than just tinkering around the edges. We need real change. @grogsgamut @mattgrudnoff #auspol
