Labor Is Complicit in Genocide Isaac Herzog's welcome completes the picture

"Every claim that protests must be suppressed, and artists censored or deplatformed, in the name of social cohesion is revealed as utter lies, a cynical and frankly evil ploy to justify maintaining the status quo." @omarsakr.bsky.social #auspol

Ah, the Coalition.
Two groups so useless and lacking in genuine appeal they canโ€™t help but stay with people they clearly despise for their own potential gain.

Not capable of organising themselves, let alone running a modern Australia. #auspol

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

From Les Misรฉrables to Trump โ€“ what happens when moral certainty hardens Polarisation is often described as ideological. But its deeper cause may be moral โ€“ a loss of the capacity to recognise goodness in those who disagree with us, and the consequences that follow.

Writers festival 'crazy' to invite Randa Abdel-Fattah, NSW premier says The festival's director said Dr Abdel-Fattah was invited in August last year and denied the state government pressured her to remove the writer.

Chris Minns, the NSW Premier, a man who occupies one of the most powerful offices in Australia, harasses, demeans, belittles, and maliciously targets with slander a woman from his bully pulpit.

A major enabler, funder and amplifier of Bjorn Lomborg is Bill Gates, who simultaneously sought to position himself as a climate hero (fooling some people who really should have known better).

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them.
They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear.

As Polymarket claims it offers a financial product, it never applied for a commercial gambling licence in Australia. With ACMA ruling it is in fact a gambling operation, Polymarket is in breach of the law which says gambling companies must operate with a proper licence.

As Polymarket claims it offers a financial product, it never applied for a commercial gambling licence in Australia. With ACMA ruling it is in fact a gambling operation, Polymarket is in breach of the law which says gambling companies must operate with a proper licence.

Polymarket has been ruled by the Australian Government to be a gambling organisation, and thus without an Australian license is now illegal to use in Australia. Likely to be blocked to Australians. #GamblingHarm #FuckGambling #AusPol

The graves of Anzac soldiers in Gaza have been desecrated. Where is The Australian's outrage? The News Corp publication, usually quick to defend the memory of fallen Anzac soldiers, is quiet on the destruction of a grave in Gaza where more than 250 Australian servicemen are buried.

Where is The Australian's outrage? www.crikey.com.au/2026/02/06/a...

Imagine our shock in being unable to find a single word written about the desecration of the graves of people who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country by a foreign military force.

Top judge takes aim at Tony Abbott over โ€˜misconceivedโ€™ social media post

The stateโ€™s top judge has taken aim at former prime minister Tony Abbott over a social media post as he issued a stern rebuke about the dangers of misinformed criticism of court decisions.

Isnโ€™t there a contempt rule that covers this sort of behaviour?

This reminds me of March 2010, when Tony Abbott said sometimes it was better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

It stayed with me because it told me a lot about his attitude towards consent.
