Also, a letter specifically for Jewish people had attracted support from 500 notable people such as Ben Elton & Miriam Margolyes.

I’m at a loss why half the Jews in Australia are labelled fanatics for opposing genocide and why the government only speaks to the 50% who support the ongoing slaughter.

More than half (over 60,000) have signed a petition opposing Hertzog’s visit. I’m at a loss to understand why the Australian government insists on going ahead with this invitation (via Jewish Council of Australia!
A very good point 👇

⬆️There's something sick inside the ALP
We see state premiers trying to dictate which writers can speak, and which get de-platformed.
It is undemocratic. Authoritarian.
But at the same time, the rest of the Labor Party is staying silent while this happens. This is democracy being destroyed

Hey Minnsy, not very cohesive.

Surely something has to be done now?
Major update: I have reviewed thousands of Epstein files released today.
From serious allegations against President Trump to communications between Elon Musk and Epstein about visiting Epstein’s island.
I also caught Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in a major lie.
Holy Moly 😱
Files released by the DOJ.
Someone’s let these slip through.

Even the NZ Tories have the courage to say no to Trump.
Does the ALP?

When an Australian government isn't doing enough for its citizens, it doesn't grow the left, it grows the right and the right adjacent. The great misunderstanding in Australian politics is confusing why people do that, and how what they want is different to the ideology attached to where they went.
