Not Building Another Stadium Is A Win For Queenslanders

The recent decision by the Queensland state government not to build another sporting stadium for the Olympics is a sign of maturity. Brisbane and Australia are in the midst of an acute housing crisis, with too few houses and apartments available for demand. It would be a gross display of economic irresponsibility to build a massively expensive stadium when there are not enough affordable accommodation options available for the people of Brisbane. The builders and the investment should be engaged and spent on social housing rather than infrastructure for sport. Enough with the elitist sporting indulgence when a city, a state, and a nation is not taking care of its ordinary citizens. Not building another stadium is a win for Queenslanders. “No one wants to see money spent on facilities that are only needed for four weeks.” Premier Steven Miles “The Queensland government says it won’t be demolishing the Gabba and building a new Olympic stadium in Brisbane, despite the recommendations of an independent review of venues for the 2032 Games.” (https://www.governmentnews.com.au/queensland-says-no-to-new-olympic-stadium/)

Olympic Dreams Can Take A Backseat To Building Social Housing

The Olympics has its place but it should not gazump the responsibility that governments have to their subjects. The Olympics is cream and there is no cream if the basics have not firstly been put in place. The market has failed renters in Brisbane, in Queensland, and around Australia. The neoliberal economic policies of the last few decades have seen an abrogation by government’s of their responsibilities. Housing and providing shelter at an affordable rate should be at the top of the list for our society at both state and private sector levels. Profitability has replaced all other concerns and we have been let down by this.

Shameful Behaviours By Corporate Australia During Cost Of Living Crisis There are families who have been forced to live in tents on the fringes of the city because of the unaffordability of rents in Queensland. The market has not taken care of business and governments have failed their constituents. The cost of living crisis has sucked the modest savings out of the working poor families. People are living hand to mouth. Australian corporations have recorded record profits during this time, which says something about the morality of our businesses. Profitability has become everything and basic decency has left the building. It is pretty lousy really. We got through a global pandemic only to come out the other side and have businesses target the government assistance funds via price gouging. Corporate Australia should hang its head in shame. Woolworths, Coles, Qantas, Commonwealth Bank, Ampol, Santos, PwC, News Corp and all the many companies that don't pay tax have been taking a crap on all of us at our expense. Wildly overpaid CEO's like Alan Joyce - it is a disgrace. ©WordsForWeb

Cyngor Gwynedd meetings last month included the Planning Committee - yet another meeting plagued by 'technical difficulties'. The vote for a new Chair had to be retaken as a councillor who was not part of the committee took part in the vote.

The home-ownership profile in a suburb can be a touchy subject. We all have to live in our community, and nobody is served very well when we are divided into us and them. But, the composition of home ownership in the area is a topic which people bring up with me from time to time. Buyers at an open-for-inspection will sometime ask straight up whether there are Government rentals nearby. And, potential sellers sometimes share with me their perceptions of how many rentals there are in their street or surrounding streets: especially when the grass is waist-high, some neighbours like to party late at night, or they identify a nearby property as a ‘drug house.’ It’s not a topic which everyone is comfortable talking about, especially as it can easily seem snobby. But, the reality is that neighbourhoods are not just made up of properties, they are also made up of people. And, some long-term owners are keenly observant of social changes around their home, probably for a variety of reasons, one of which might be that they think that changes over time may affect their property value eventually. Looking at statistics for Ginninderra as a whole, it is dominated by #owneroccupiers with an average of 79%. This stands out significantly against the national average of 65% recorded in the 2016 Census. According to data from allhomes, CHARNWOOD with 67% has the lowest amount of owner-occupiers in the district, but is still higher than the national average. FRASER is almost off the chart with 87% owner-occupiers. FRASER also stands out with the lowest number of #privaterentals (9%), while HALL Village has the highest number of private rentals (19%) in the district. NICHOLLS apparently has the lowest number of Government rentals (2%), while CHARNWOOD with 15% has the highest amount of Government-owned properties in Ginninderra. This demographic data provided by allhomes is compiled from a variety of sources, including the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Next Tuesday, 28 June 2022, the ABS is releasing the Key Population Data from the 2021 Census. It will be interesting to have a look at whether this includes home ownership stats, and whether there has been much change in Ginninderra.

Social Housing

This is how it works in the political system. Whenever money has been spent on things like social housing and Indigenous affairs in the past it follows this route. Bean counters and social conservatives fight against the allocation of funding in the first place. Eventually, when it does get over the line it is trimmed to the bone, which means it is accompanied by self-sabotaging elements. For example social housing estates in the past were built on cheap land on the fringes of cities in new suburbs not served with the necessary infrastructure like adequate public transport. In addition, these projects were not backed up by the support required to service them. The outcomes were poorly maintained eyesores and nests for social disadvantage to flourish in. The message to the broader community is you don’t want to live anywhere close to social housing because it lowers the value of your property and exposes your family to crime and social problems. “Political will and investment, or lack thereof, has been a big one, Dr Fotheringham says. He says the main reason Australia has a shortage of social and affordable housing is chronic underinvestment by governments of all levels and political persuasion over decades. Social and affordable housing is also not a very good "vote winner", says Hal Pawson, professor of housing research and policy at UNSW Sydney. “ - (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-28/where-is-the-social-and-affordable-housing/103380050)

Australia & Social Housing

Australia has a rich history of not properly funding programmes. The litany of failures in welfare spending on Aboriginal Affairs is legion. Housing programmes have been generally badly built in the first place and once again not backed up by any support to maintain them. Scumbags, white scumbags have a rich history of gaining these tenders and serving up second rate product at exorbitant rates. Then, down the track everyone can blame the Indigenous residents for not looking after them and this reinforces the already ingrained racist beliefs within the wider community. Housing built without any consultation with those who would be living in them. This is still being done for the disability community. There is this attitude of ‘beggars can’t be choosers and we know best.’

Photo by World Sikh Organization of Canada on Pexels.com Poorly Funded Programmes For Those In Need Half arsed should be the motto for government initiatives in this country. First there is the responsibility handball between federal and state governments to contend with. This strips any energy of a united front from the project to begin with. Everything is a shit fight over money. Then, once the arduous planning stage concludes it loses coherence the further down the realisation pathway it travels. Shortcuts and cost savings are enacted constantly. Shoddy workmanship and second rate materials are no strangers to these programmes. Most seriously, however, is the complete lack of supporting infrastructure for these projects. No one has sat down and thought through how these things will operate once set up. Or if they have they haven’t been listened to. Half arsed housing could be the name for the government entity responsible for such programmes. Things falling off the structures are not fixed for months and sometimes years. The message is that second rate citizens live here and they don’t deserve such service. In the past, state housing commission estates have been poorly serviced and maintained. The conservative wider community blames the residents and putting the boot into the poor continues. Downward envy could be an Olympic sport in Australia.

Photo by Mike Bird on Pexels.com Half Arsed Help The moral of the story is that these folk don’t deserve any special help. The neoliberal ‘user pays’ ethos has permeated our political classes and into the community more broadly. Generations of short changing Indigenous Australians via institutional racism is neither here nor there, according to this belief. Conservatives ardently believe that each individual is responsible for pulling himself or herself up by their bootstraps. Thus, the divide between rich and poor has grown in giant leaps and bounds over the last 30 years. Home ownership has driven a frontend loader between the haves and have nots. Recently, the CEO of the ANZ bank said that only the wealthy can afford to buy a home in Australia in the 21C. We have John Howard and the removal of the capital gains tax and negative gearing to thank for this state of affairs. “An acronym for 'not in my backyard', a NIMBY is someone who opposes developments in their local area. When it comes to social housing, it's often because they're worried that could impact the value of their own home. Professor Pawson says social housing, particularly public housing, has a lot of stigma attached to it. He says the way social housing had been handled in the past had "tainted the brand", and newer developments didn't have to look or be managed in the same fashion. "Most people in the industry would now agree it was a big mistake to build very large public housing estates especially on the edges of cities where there wasn't good access to jobs and services.” - (Evan Young, ABC News, 28 Jan 2024) Social housing has barely been built by state governments over the last 20 years. The mistakes of the past and the neoliberal mantra ‘let market forces take care of it’ have meant they turned away from their responsibilities. Now, we have a severe housing crisis with unaffordable rents in most capital cities due to a shortage of stock. Governments are having to spend around $1.4 billion per year on emergency housing for those in need. This has been exacerbated by things like short term holiday rentals proving more popular with landlords. The mismanagement of social housing historically by governments has played a fundamental role in where we find ourselves today. We cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past with any new projects. These programmes demand ongoing funding levels to properly maintain them. We do not want to create future ghettoes and concentrations of disadvantage. This could be an opportunity for Australian governments to do a proper job, perhaps, for the first time, when it comes to social housing.

Photo by The Lazy Artist Gallery on Pexels.com Imagine if you had a well-built social housing estate and rather than just plonking new residents within it you had some useful stuff onsite. How about a centre with non-profit financial advice for residents to consult. How about a psychologist providing help for those struggling mentally with life’s challenges. There could be a suite of valuable services that those in need will use. Rather than leaving those doing it tough to sink or swim why not get in early and be proactive. It will save money in the long run by avoiding much of the law and order costs usually following these neglected places. Think about it!

: . celebraiting 10years of Apartamentul Deschis/Flat Space . 10 years after it was installed in the Bucharest str. 68/1 square, Flat Space hosted dozens of events organized by artists, independent local and foreign initiatives and organizations. As an independent cultural space, functioning as an alternative office for arts and culture, it became an element of the cultural infrastructure of Chisinau, facilitating new interactions of the audience with contemporary art / socially engaged art, emphasizing topics pertaining to the public space and urban neoliberal transformations in post-soviet cities. Called (ironically) by bureaucracy defenders “The Balcony of the Culture Direction”, it became an important element, contributing to the democratic infrastructure of the city (due to the absence of inclusive spaces, Flat Space gathers together the members of the independent cultural community, including artists, architects, musicians, and film-makers; the cyclists / environmental activists’ community; feminist / LGBT communities, and others), curator: Vladimir Us. . Flat Space project: http://chiosc.oberliht.org/apartament . Apartamentul Deschis/Flat Space was installed next to APO Victoria with laboratory complex, expo section and exhibition hall, currently hosting cultural department of Chisinau municipality, designed by architects: Yu.Tumanyan, O.Vronskii, built in late 80s. . #stefanrusu #stefanrusuprojects #openflat_apartamentuldeschis #modularstructures #socialistarchitecture #flatspace_apartamentuldeschis #openflat #publicspace_chisinau #68bucurestistreet #oberliht #chisinau #publicspaces_chisinau #transformationofpublicspace #publicspace . #socialhousing #socialistbloc #socialistcity . ©stefanrusu (at Kishinef, Chişinău, Moldova) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pX5pUpEiy/?utm_medium=tumblr
