- Comment on Why are people protesting across Europe? 22 hours ago:
The Guardian has an Australian site, but this article seems to be from the original UK version, co-written by a UK-based and Spain-based journalist.
Fair point, I’ll check for Australian authors before posting Guardian articles from now on.
Did it have some other particular relevance
“unaffordable housing and the cost of living” seem to me to be pretty relevant to the Australian context.

It’s an article version of the Australian Story episode, so that’s why it’s not ‘pyramid’ structure. Their ‘feature’ style articles don’t have a summary box at the top because they’re not pure information-delivery.

- Comment on Victorian Labor withdraws attack on RAFFWU ahead of election 1 week ago:
This bit is an interesting point that I haven’t seen elsewhere:
Green Left has been told that regional trades and labour councils had let Labor know about their concerns that the bill could be used against them, since many operate as incorporated associations and play an industrial relations role.
As last week’s Disputes Report mentioned, it could always come back after the election:
Union news
RAFFWU - Ben Carroll
In some good news, Ben Carroll’s attempt to pass the Associations Incorporation Reform Amendment Bill 2026 has failed. The Bill would have allowed Consumer Affairs Victoria to wind up any association formed for “industrial purposes” in Victoria unless the organisation is registered under the Fair Work Act - eg RAFFWU. That said, it possibly only failed because they ran out of time to push it through the Legislative Council. So perhaps not dead, buried and cremated, but in a coma. Certainly one to keep an eye on, as politicians of all sorts could see fit to revive this sort of legislation - either at a state or federal level. In case you missed it, I did write an article about the proposed Bill at the time.
Hopefully they’ve actually given up and they’re not just retooling it or hoping for a more favourable crossbench.
