None of us are celebrating October 7 you weapons grade plum, we are marking one year of a genocide in Gaza.
In 2023, there were 97,861 homes vacant in metropolitan Melbourne alone for the entire year. At the last census, there were 30,660 people experiencing homelessness in the entire State of Victoria. We've visited a countless number of these empty homes. For the most part, they are very easy to access, and very easy to spot. Most of them have an unlocked door or window. We don't show videos of the nice ones in case a cop or a landlord sees, we send these ones to people who need them. If you want to spot them, look for letters in a mailbox, look for a gas meter that has been turned off (the red handle will be perpendicular to the pipe it runs along, almost looking like it's sticking out from the pipe at a right angle). We want to redistribute these homes. They shouldn't be sitting there empty during a housing crisis. We have a rich history of squatting movements in this country and we will do it again. We know where these houses are. Please submit more here and consider joining the Renters and Housing Union: https://t.co/bOcRSTfVOH
If you’re going to be a class traitor then at least be funny. https://t.co/A2BaIsWy7v
lol, the men in your family need therapy. Also, these houses were literally in your neighbourhood. https://t.co/DZYFX7dkAD
Genuine question: We’ve seen a lot of rank and file mobilisation over the ongoing genocide in Palestine from union members over the past year, often in opposition to the orders of the union bureaucrats. If Labor wasn’t in power do you think we would have seen more action from trade union officials?
Empty homes across the globe are a symptom of the cancer of capitalism in its final stages. Our government is too inept to treat this symptom. It is too captured by the interests of the rich, the property developers, the landlords, and the media companies whose only profit making subsidiaries are their real estate businesses. It is a government that preaches to us about their surpluses whilst at the same time telling you to join the line at the food bank. Our government will not legislate us out of capitalism. Only we as people have the power to make that change - but the longer we wait, the more bloody our struggle.

It’s nice when a conservative shock jock is forced to speak with a socialist. Also props to Omar for getting the words “mass movement” onto 3AW
I feel like this is our “let them eat cake” - let them eat surplus and also chips with less air
