This corrupt social cleansing of the city will displace people, push up rent and house prices, and make huge profits for developers. Once public assets are sold off, they are all but lost to the private sector, and the rally on Saturday 2 August at 11am may be the last chance to fully mobilise before the first tower comes down.This is the Week that Was with Kevin Healey II hereThe implacable comrade Kevin Healey keeps us updated with everything thats happened this week in his inimitable style. Don Sutherland from Solidarity Dynamics Interview II hereInterviewing regarding the upcoming Economic Roundtable the government has organised and its implicaitons on the working class, an in depth analysis of the situation as it stands.  

*The carnage continues – the world watches on*Irony piled on irony – U.S.A. – Germany*The productivity round table sideshow*14 million dollars wouldn't cover the cost of a sea side mansion*Disconnected from reality*No no Nanette – No negligence here – good case – no responsibility*Eureka Australia medals – nominations open*John Englart memorial*Public Housing – anybody interested?*”Suffocating”

Australia is in the midst of a housing crisis. But amidst the political and media debate about the fixes to our housing woes, public housing has slipped from view. There's concern that funding commitments are a far cry from the broad based approach to public rental housing which has supported so many Australians in the past, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. So where does Australia go from here?

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show. On today's episode: Headlines - 55 people arrested at Palestine Action group protest in London- Victoria's first Native Title claim passed in state for Millewa Mallee- Blak Up! Rest Reconnect and Organise for change. Read more about the program here. The show begins with a segment from the Women On The Line show, in which host  Xen Nhà speaks with scholar Carolyn D'Cruz and librarian and archivist Clare O'Hanlon about gender in academia and archives as well as transphobia and the 'manosphere'. The segment originally aired on the 23rd of June this year. This conversation was ahead of the pair's appearance at the Researching Our Culture talk at Victoria's premier LGBTQIA+ literature festival Q-Lit. It is important to acknowledge white supremacy's role in creating transphobia as transphobes the world over continue to react to gender diverse people as something that is new and generational, rather than simply a set of identities which has always existed, the history of which is being erased by colonial projects. As such, this conversation of preserving gender identities within archives is hugely important. Women On The Line airs from 8:30 to 9 on Monday mornings. To listen to the full conversation click here and more from the amazing Women On The Line crew go to 3cr.org.au/womenonthelineFollowing that we hear  an excerpt from the latest episode of the Peoples History of Australia podcast titled 'Resistance on the line: the radical history of telephone operators'. The episode features a conversation between host Christian and librarian, union activist and historian Jeff Rickertt about the fascinating history of the telephonists. The excerpt we are about to play covers the history of the telephonist profession, how it became deliberately feminized, and the formation of the continent's first telephonist union the women's telephone attendants association in 1907. Listen to more of this conversation and other episodes of this insightful podcast at www.peopleshistory.com.au. Help keep the project alive by supporting their Patreon here. On the 20th of September the project is also conducting a walking tour of Glebe to explore the area's radical history --  From strikes by timber workers to communist organising, to Women's Liberation and squatting, to Aboriginal politics, rioting, gay rights and anarchism. See event page for details here. Audio from the Converge On Canberra rally which began yesterday -- a coordinated action in which grassroots solidarity groups from across the continent protested outside the federal parliament ahead of the opening of the 28th Parliament. On Saturday, a group of staunch activists sprayed red paint on the Australian-American memorial known as 'the eagle'in protest of the complicity that the two governments have in genocide against Palestinians. After spraying the memorial, a wreath was laid in memorial of all those killed by Israeli Occupational Forces, who are funded and armed by the Australian and America governments. Sunday's actions saw a rally outside Federal Parliament before a march to the Israeli embassy. Today's focus will be a national planning day for the movement and Tuesday will see another rally noutside the Parliament as it opens again. We hear three speches from:Shovan Battari, Amal Naser - Palestine Action Group Sydney NSW - and Leah House - Ngunnawal and Ngambri Sovereign person opening the rally.                      Muntaser Musameh - Palestinian Australian Cardiologist ACT The Monday Breakfast show also spoke with Sarah Baarini from Sanction Israel Now live at the Converge on Canberra on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land. The show ends with a live cross at the picket at the North Melbourne Public Housing Towers, where work was set to resume with residents still inside. Through community action, work for the day was ceased with workers told to go home. Songs played: - Let Love Rule - Archie Roach.

Sam Sells is a retired U.S. Air Force officer turned impact investor and entrepreneur who has led the acquisition and management of over $200 million in commercial real estate assets. As co-founder of Impact Growth Capital and host of the Disruptive Capitalists podcast, Sam specializes in building wealth by solving critical housing challenges—especially in America's most neglected communities. His approach combines military discipline, systems thinking, and a passion for making a difference at scale. On this episode we talk about: – How Sam made his first dollar as a kid selling whatever he could—and why his last name “Sells” fits his entrepreneurial journey – Lessons from a global military career, building sustainable healthcare systems, and learning to create repeatable, high-impact outcomes – The moment in Chad, Africa, that sparked his mission to pursue financial freedom and help others achieve it – Why real estate became Sam's vehicle for impact and wealth, starting with mobile home parks and scaling to national projects – The realities of flipping homes, the misleading nature of TV real estate shows, and the importance of understanding the real numbers – How Sam used creative strategies like master lease agreements to acquire and improve properties with limited capital – The risks and pitfalls of real estate investing—over-leverage, mismanagement, and the brutal lessons of recent market cycles – Why America is the country's largest “slumlord,” and how Sam is tackling public housing's massive problems through public-private partnerships – How Impact Growth Capital works with HUD and local housing authorities to renovate or rebuild thousands of government-owned units, using government funding and innovative systems to guarantee returns and create real social mobility – The unique, vertically integrated model that combines real estate development, nonprofit resident support, and measurable poverty reduction – The challenges and rewards of scaling a national impact business, and why entrepreneurship—not bureaucracy—is the key to solving America's toughest problems – How others can get involved as investors or partners in this mission Top 3 Takeaways 1. Impact and Profit Can Coexist: You can build wealth and make a real difference by solving urgent problems—like America's public housing crisis—at scale. 2. Creative Structures Unlock Opportunity: Master leases, public-private partnerships, and government-backed funding can open doors for investors willing to learn and innovate. 3. Entrepreneurship Drives Change: Lean, mission-driven entrepreneurs are better equipped than government alone to tackle complex social issues and deliver lasting results. Notable Quotes – “No matter how hard he works, he's never going to become free. What do I need to do to become free—and how can I help as many other people become free as possible?” – “The number one slumlord in America is America. Public housing authorities own nearly 900,000 units—seven times the size of Blackstone.” – “We can do good and do well at the same time. Our intent is to help millions get out of poverty and help our investors make a great return in the process.” Connect with Sam Sells: Email: sam@impactgrowthcap.com Website: impactgrowthcap.com Podcast: Disruptive Capitalists LinkedIn: Search “Sam Sells Impact Growth Capital”

How housing policy failed the people it was designed to help -- and how to fix it As the US struggles to provide affordable housing, millions of Americans live in deteriorating public housing projects, enduring the mistakes of past housing policy. In The Projects: A New History of Public Housing (NYU Press, 2025), Howard A. Husock explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. From First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to the controversial city planner Robert Moses, many well-known historical figures made a convincing case for affordable housing in America. Despite the movement's lofty ideals, the creation of the Projects led to the destruction of low-income communities across the country. From the Hill District in Pittsburgh to Black Bottom in Detroit, predominantly Black neighborhoods were judged only by the quality of their housing. Husock looks beyond these neighborhoods' physical conditions to their uncounted riches, from local artists like August Wilson to vital community institutions. As he shares residents' stories, he honors what they crafted through their own plans, rather than those of city planners. Husock traces the history of public housing to contemporary debates on the government's role in the housing market. Through interviews with residents, he reveals how public housing transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns. He ultimately critiques "repair and reform" efforts, making policy recommendations that address the core failings of public housing for the people it was once designed to help. Mapping out a better path for policy-makers, he lays a new foundation for upward mobility in America. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wist je dat in Nederland van alle huizen 30 tot 50% sociale huurwoningen zijn? In Australië is dat slechts 3%. De Victoriaanse overheid is van plan om de 44 grote publieke woontorens in Melbourne te slopen, maar is dat de beste oplossing? Professor Karien Dekker van RMIT University doet hier onderzoek naar. Met haar bespreken we ook de aanpak van de Nederlandse- en Australische overheid op gebied van sociale woningbouw.

Your mid-century house, and mine - just like  13 million solid ranches, tidy Levit cottages and charming post and beam homes built across the US between 1945 and 65 - might not strike you as "public housing." But they ARE our country's solution to a housing crisis. Post-war Britain, profoundly affected by the German Blitz and widespread destruction,  embarked on a different path. Their "blitz spirit" of collective sacrifice led to a significant political shift and the creation of a robust welfare state, including a massive program of publicly subsidized housing (often called council housing).  By 1977, nearly half of the British population lived in socially assisted housing, leading to a much less stigmatized view of public housing compared to the US.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why the US and the UK took such different post-war housing paths. How these mid-century policy choices are reflected in our current communities. Where we might find opportunities to respond to our current housing crisis in our mid-cenutry neighborhoods.   Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2109.Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

Barry Berih has lived in the same Melbourne flat for most of his life. He has mild cerebral palsy and is cared for by his mother. He has all the medical support he needs, along with his mosque nearby and his Eritrean community surrounding him. But one afternoon, without warning, Barry watched the then Victorian premier, Dan Andrews, announce on TV that the iconic public housing towers in the city would be demolished. One of those towers is his home, making Barry one of about 10,000 people set to be evicted. With that threat looming, some of his neighbours decided to leave.

Public housing has a long and complicated history, from ancient civilizations to the towering high-rises of mid-20th century America. But while the goal has always been to provide affordable housing, the results have often fallen far short of expectations. In this episode, we explore how public housing evolved—from medieval serfdom and Roman insulae to the infamous “projects” like Cabrini-Green. We'll also discuss modern approaches, like Section 8 vouchers and tax credits, and whether public housing has a future in today's political climate. Is there a way to make government-supported housing work, or does history suggest otherwise? Tune in to find out.

Earlier this month, the government announced a turnaround plan for Kainga Ora - Aotearoa's state and emergency housing agency. Housing minister Chris Bishop said that the plan would refocus the agency on its core mission of building and managing social housing in a financially sustainable way, however the plan involves the sale of 900 state homes annually, resulting in a net increase of only 400 homes annually to house the waitlist of about 20,000 New Zealanders waiting for social housing.   For this week's Get Action! Oto spoke to Vanessa Cole from Public Housing Futures to discuss a campaign calling on the government to build and purchase enough public housing to house people on the “True Waitlist” for public housing, which includes houseless people and those relying on accommodation supplements for rent who don't qualify for public housing.

This week, Nick and Goldy discuss the concept of social housing with Vox Policy Correspondent Rachel Cohen. They explore how local government investments in mixed-income housing can keep cities affordable for the middle class. Drawing from her reporting, Cohen spotlights the innovative social housing experiment in Montgomery County, Maryland, which demonstrates how well-designed public housing can rival private market options without falling prey to stigma or inefficiency. They also explore the financial benefits of publicly owned housing and its potential to alleviate the widespread housing crisis by providing a sustainable, scalable solution that benefits low- and middle-income earners by delivering lasting affordability. Rachel Cohen is a policy correspondent for Vox Media. She focuses on U.S. social policy, covering issues such as education, abortion, economic policy, and housing. Rachel has been covering social policy issues for more than a decade, with her reporting published in more than two dozen national outlets, including the New York Times, the Atlantic, Bloomberg, the Daily Beast, and the Washington Post.
