Australian Greens
Greens housing spokesperson, Jenny Leong MP, has condemned the headline initiative announced with the release of the NSW Housing Strategy today as a dream for property developers and a nightmare for people living with the reality of housing insecurity and housing stress.
“This is supposed to be a long-term strategy with solutions, not yet another way to gift public land to developers. Developers and big business will be able to scroll through a database of public land to see what they can make profit off by developing,” Ms Leong said.
“This is taking outsourcing to a whole new level – it seems the Minister is now outsourcing her own responsibility to invest in housing and come up with ideas for solving the crisis, and is inviting developers to do it for her.

Victorian EV policy highlights risks of federal leadership vacuum
Australia’s peak motoring body says a new package of measures announced by the Victorian Government will make electric vehicles and other zero-emission vehicles more affordable for businesses and families.
However, the Australian Automobile Association says efforts by individual state governments to set vehicle sales and emissions targets are a major concern, and the direct result of ongoing failure of the Federal Government to deliver a coherent, coordinated, nationally consistent approach to vehicle emissions reduction.
AAA Managing Director, Michael Bradley, said: “The incentive package announced by the Victorian government, coupled with a new distance-based road-user charge for electric vehicles, is an important step as governments look to make reforms that ensure all drivers pay their fair share of road funding without deterring the uptake of zero-emissions vehicles.

People who were lucky enough to get a drone for Christmas are being urged to read up on the rules before using it, or face risking a disaster.
Drone operators must be aware of strict no-fly zones and of neighbours privacy, the CAA says.

The Civil Aviation Authority said drone use has grown in popularity in New Zealand as the machines have become cheaper and more readily available.
Christmas is a timely reminder for people that drones are not toys, but aircraft that fall under regulation, its spokesperson Corey Price said. People get these things as gifts, but they make the mistake of thinking they are just a toy and they are definitely not.
