Faceless One Nation
Polls that suggest One Nation could secure dozens of seats in the House of Representatives are particularly puzzling when you consider that none of their lower house candidates are known by the public. Nationals defector Barnaby Joyce would be the one exception in one NSW regional seat. Can we really imagine Australians electing an opposition or government whose members are virtually anonymous?

Shortening the food chain
“If a suburban house block was left vacant every few streets or so, that could become a shared garden producing vegetables, eggs and fruit. When people have a shared project within walking distance it gives agency, connection and community as well as useful products. We have become too dependent on others doing things for us.”
Alison Lambert

Gary Barnes, Mosman
