In Bruce Lehrmann's 'omnishambles' of a trial, Justice Michael Lee delivered a powerful lesson in shades of grey
Justice Michael Lee leaned in to the Shakespearean tragedy of Bruce Lehrmann's case and with the narrative muscularity of a literary thriller showed simplicity and complexity need not be enemies.Annabel Crabb (ABC News)

Centuries old European-centric American history debunked by archaeology and advanced genomics
The Pueblo, Pawnee, Comanche and Lakota traditional owners gain confirmation of what they have always being saying, that they'd been using horses centuries earlier than what the Western narrative have claimed.
This is incredibly exciting. Not just this case, but how there’s the potential for history to be rewritten in many other periods of history, provided science is given the opportunity to explore

How the horse exposed a mistake in the history books but confirmed what First Nations people have known for generations
Authors of an award-winning US study that incorporated First Nations traditional knowledge say there are lessons for Australian researchers.ABC News
I grew up in cooperative social housing. The model is that a not-for-profit organisation (with government funding) buys houses within a community area and rents them to people within that community. Rents are capped at 25% of the household income or at cost (which ever is lower).
The people within this community manage rent collection and maintenance requests.
Tenancy is long term so tenants have leeway in making modifications to the house. Even major modifications are possible with consultation with the community group.
This gives people that majority of benefits of home ownership without having to be property investors.
The not-for-profit can use the equity in their property portfolio to purchase or build new properties.
It's a great model for housing for people across a wide range of income levels.
Chronic under funding in the past 25yrs hasn't allowed these cooperatives to grow with population growth so this option isn't available to most people.
Most people don't actually want to own a house, they just want location stability and the ability to paint their walls.
