Netanyahu's government has brought Palestinian recognition upon Israel
The Australian Financial Review argued two weeks ago that Israel was losing the battle to win hearts and minds in Western nations due, in part, to the horrifying pictures of starving Gazan children. That assessment has since been confirmed by Australia joining with other traditionally Israel-friendly countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand to support recognising the state of Palestine. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a media conference on Monday, lashed out at Australia and other countries for what he said was their 'shameful ' position on Palestinian statehood. Yet it is the policies of the right-wing Netanyahu government that have galvanised international support for formally acknowledging the sovereignty of the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu's ordering of a full Israeli military takeover of Gaza City on Friday was the ultimate catalyst for the Albanese government's decision to bring forward the announcement of Australia's plan to recognise a Palestinian state.

'Red tape' problem solved for thousands of homebuyers in one state
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here The Victorian government has announced it will make it easier for homebuyers to build single-storey homes on small lots of land. A new state-wide amendment to the state's planning schemes known as Single Home Code will streamline approvals for single homes or small second dwellings on lots under 300 square metres in size. Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny said the move will cut out unnecessary "red tape" and allow homes to be built sooner. NEWS - Aerial of Melbourne from Yarraville. 24th October 2024, The Age news Picture by JOE ARMAO (Joe Armao) The current planning scheme often results in major delays and uncertainty for homeowners due to inconsistent council processes, complex paperwork and lengthy appeals, Kilkenny said. Under the amendment, a new home will be approved without assessment if it meets updated standards including solar access, tree canopy and street amenity. Neighbours will be notified and can provide feedback however there will be no expensive delays or VCAT appeals. The change will apply across all residential zones in Victoria. Neighbours will be notified and can provide feedback however there will be no expensive delays or VCAT appeals. (AFR/ Louie Douvis) "This is another way we're making our planning system say 'yes' – yes to well-designed homes, yes to more homes, and yes to people making the most of the land they already have," said Kilkenny. "If your proposal meets the standards, you should be able to get on and build. "That's what these changes deliver – faster decisions, less stress, and more homes where we need them." The Victorian government is in the middle of an overhaul of the state's planning system. A similar streamlined approach for new builds has already been introduced for townhouses and low-rise apartment buildings three storeys and under. The Allan government's 12-month new policy aims to save prospective buyers tens of thousands of dollars and attract developers. housing Victoria Melbourne Australia national CONTACT US
