If landholders fail to develop in a newly conceptualised "develop zone" and instead are made to pay annually, the sum equal to the annual appreciated value of the land, split between council and state govt, there would be no landbanking.
Completely irrelevant to your topic but it popped into my head when I read your post.
You can win if you want, too...

"Conservative" is a convenient tribal label that offers protection from the outrage machine as well as being convenient to ignore when justifying and reconciling with ones true nature as a culture warrior loath to let slip any opportunity to sow division and entrench privilege.
Against non blondes?
Congratulation to Astronaut Christina Koch to be the first woman in history to get that far away from dangerous sexual predator Donald Trump.
hmm...is the humidity sticky or is the body sticky? 😂
Honoured to second Kate Chaney's bill to ban gambling ads today. It's good policy and Australians want it. If the Gov is too scared to stand up on this, they should at least get out of the way and let others do it for them #auspol #politas
Hooray I have lived to see it - confirmed - Lou Nicholson wins Finniss from fourth on primaries, to my knowledge the first ever case at state or federal level in a single seat electorate.

You're gonna hear a lot about preferences later this year. The outrage is fake; it's dumb people asking YOU to be dumb.
Ranked choice voting (preferential voting) is THE MOST DEMOCRATIC form of voting that there is. They want to outlaw it instead of learning.
That's all it is.
"If the public must pay their fair share to see the Twelve Apostles, why don’t multinational fossil fuel companies have to pay more to drill for gas in the waters around them?” writes Louise Morris, Advocate at The Australia Institute.

An amateur tries their best; Timmy tries our patience. Let’s be honest Timmy is the human equivalent of a '404 Error', but with more confidence.
Isaac Herzog is NOT welcomed in Australia. He advocated for every Palestinian to be exterminated.
@albomp.bsky.social You do not invite him to Australia in my name.
Right #Geelong, it is almost 11am. Close up the house and batten down the hatches. The heat has just arrived. #heatvic #vicfires
Stay safe everyone. See you on the other side.
You're welcome. Best of luck with the search and decision.
shaun over here fails at being an understanding human. We can't definitively say why, but we can speculate.
Don't be like shaun. Words matter. Be better.
No one should have to experience this. I'm sorry it keeps happening.
Let's say it together: "Don't be like shaun. Be better"
Labor inches closer to the right of centre with every passing announcement. The RW culture warriors and religious purists will remain split along the fringe, leaving a cavernous void on the L. for the Greens and 1other party (hi AusDems?) to fill in opposition. Now wouldn't that be grand?🐖5️⃣🪰 #auspol
LA drag queen has gone viral for performing as Erika Kirk
She absolutely nailed it 🤣
Just remember that right now the Albanese Govt is spending billions to the fund the USA military.
One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.
It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.
All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.
For our American friends, this is how your President’s slur on *our troops who died for you* is being received by the rest of your allies, a 🧵.

Personally, my highest desire suburb is Herne Hill - short drives to North Geelong stn and big box stores, easy access to the ring road, Barwon River trails and CBD/Waterfront. 3/3
Snitzels at The Fyansford Hotel are outstanding. Bahn Mi from VN Rolls Bakery are 💯. Fyansford Common/Queens Park and Barwon River trails are lovely slices of nature. Pakington St is comparable to Chapel St but smaller, with equally dreadful traffic. 2/3
Mount Duneed, Charlemont, Armstrong Creek and Fyansford are all recent/current developments. Corio, Norlane, North Shore, Bell Post Hill and Whittington are my lowest desire suburbs. The "Geelong" line Vline terminates at Waurn Ponds. 1/3
Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution
Returned to find the pot of the burnt out candle submerged in molten plastic.
#Thankful and #humbled for it could easily have been a tragedy.
Thank you #Lifetime for expecting me to be an idiot and using a plastic that didn't ignite. 2/2

I've been humbled by a candle and a table in the pursuit clearing out bugs tonight. This idiot lit the (almost empty) candle, put it on a plastic table in the shed (next to the open door) and walked out. 1/2

You should see the looks I get when the partner drags me to the cattery, and I'm wearing my St Kilda guernsey 👀🤣
