Every day we get up and every day the news package with bait arrives. Unpleasantly predictable. Media have become routine news dumpers and very little is discussed in an impartial fashion. Once in a while we are pleasantly surprised. It is a shame. Limiting news approaches is limiting ideas and involvement in any genuine sense. The repetition is wearing. The facile thinking is unnecessary. The sameness is mind numbing. We need to look at ideas and explore them properly. We would all be a lot happier. Today was no different. I use Edge as a browser normally but have come back to Chrome just to get some open links to something which ought to be important news in South Australia but is being drowned out by political clap trap and Elon Musk buying Twitter. Truth is, he could use all that money to do what Peter Malinauskas is doing, and make a difference for the the homeless. His money , though, so he can do as he pleases with it and he wants to buy Twitter. Our media is being aggregated into fewer sites owned by particular types of people and so we are now limited in what we are served .
I found it hard to get links to articles about what Premier Malinauskas is doing. On Edge the links were behind paywalls. On Chrome there wasn't much choice. So I offer the only two links I could find. We need to ensure our local news is broadcast across a number of media outlets so people can read it and know about it. I think working towards solving our homelessness problem needs us behind it and to do that we need to know what Mr. Malinauskas is doing. He is having a good look at social housing and working out how we can have more homes available through he Housing Trust. Affordable housing is critical to a safe and happy life. Be it everso humble and all of that. He is also putting significant funding into centres and organisations which have already been working hard to help homeless people. He seriously wants to end homelessness for us and that is a worthy aim for us all to achieve together under his leadership. May there be access to decent information so we can get this idea off the ground as a state.
