I am in my early 20s and the number one comment from my peers when talking about children is that we’ll never be able to find stable, affordable housing to bring a child home to. Gen Y and Z are struggling to find stable and affordable housing to suit a couple, let alone something fit for a family. I have always wanted children, but they now genuinely seem like a luxury I won’t be able to home, afford, or provide for.”Jade NeedhamBypassing the BOM“Like a large number of Australians, I also dislike the new format of the BOM radar offering. While the Bureau inserted the new format into the longstanding rain radar website, it did not remove the much-loved ‘traditional’ rain radar. Rather, the much-loved ‘traditional’ rain radar has been moved to a different web page. For those like me who prefer to engage with the much loved rain radar, go to: reg.bom.gov.au”Dr Bruce MoonRepublishing shocker“I’m very disappointed to learn people ‘borrow’ and benefit from your work (Wednesday, October 29), although we can understand your response. We do the same – share our books for negligible profit so the world can read these unique stories. On that basis we are making a small donation. Thank you for your service.”Anna Borzi AM ED: Thank you for your generosity, Anna. You can read more about our republishing here.
