Although there are now no simple solutions, the #housingcrisis in #Australia can be traced back to a handful of catastrophic policy choices made by #JohnHoward and recommended by his friends.

Hilarious headline in my email inbox: MORRISON GOVERNMENT FAILED

the hidden text actually reveals
“Morrison government failed to hand over some 2003 national security records to archives In a statement, the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet said the transfer of a "small number" of 2003 cabinet records did not happen, due to "apparent administrative oversights" likely caused by disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

if i wasn’t so cynical about lib/np values i’d just assume they are incompetent, with all the mistakes they make 🙄

screen dump part of an article the guardian dot com; Australian senators say error led to backing far-right motion saying 'it's OK to be white' Government blames 'administrative error' for decision to support motion put up by anti-immigrant party Australia's government has been forced into an embarrassing re-vote in parliament after it supported a far-right motion declaring "It's OK to be white". The ruling Liberal-National Coalition blamed an "administrative error" for its senators' decision to vote in favour of the motion on Monday, which had been put forward by Pauline Hanson, the leader of the anti-immigration One Nation party. The phrase has been used by far-right groups including the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis to stoke racial division. On Tuesday, in the face of enormous backlash, the government backed away from its support for the motion, with the prime minister saying the original vote was "regrettable". photo of Pauline Hanson caption Senators for the ruling Coalition government voted for a far-right policy put forward by Pauline Hanson.

John Howard says he ‘always was a racist prick'
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/nov/02/john-howard-multiculturalism-comments-alliance-for-responsible-citizenship-conference-london

Former Australian prime minister visited the racist capital of Racist Empire and said he decided at the outset of his racist political career to “adopt the racist values and practices” of his racist colonial rulers. The former RWNJ prime minister made the comments while attending a right-wing nutjob conference on Wednesday in London.

Australia has a dose of ‘long Morrison’, and it’s nothing to sneeze at

COVID-19 may be receding in the memory but Australia can’t seem to shake off “long Morrison”, the lingering effects of a prime ministership widely deemed to have had a pestilential effect on the country’s body politic. Since his departure from office 14 months ago, we have witnessed the emergence of a number of variants.

Photo of newspaper clipping I've nabbed from a friend's post on a different social media platform appears to have come from a reader's comment in the paper version of this article, which was printed in response a day after the main article: https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/a-message-for-the-premier-honour-the-deal-you-made-with-teachers-20230803-p5dtqc.html
