Can you really enjoy playing golf when you've just had to see homeless people? It's a serious problem.

#ABCNews wow, Jane Hume is tacitly advocating for the genocide because Hamas can't be trusted! Not a single word of disapproval for the Israeli pricks or a single word of sympathy for the decimated Palestinian common people. She is a pretty disgusting person!

Just watched Netanyahu answer Matt Beven's question.... No, if Melbourne was attacked by New Zealand terrorists, we would not destroy every building in NZ, nor would we kill every innocent New Zealander.
We are not genocidal maniacs here!

Three options:
1. Jillian Segal resigns.
2. The PM asks for her resignation.
3. The PM fires her.
Option 3 is the best option.
Her appointment to the important role of Antisemitism Envoy was completely inappropriate. #auspol #ZionismIsNotJudaism

Two of Epsteinโ€™s victims wrote lettersโ€”and they didnโ€™t mince words about the Trump administration shielding Trump while not giving a damn about โ€œtransparencyโ€ or the victims.

๐Ÿ“Œ So of course, right on cue, Pam Bondi ordered the DOJ to launch an investigation into President Obama.

Only "gut wrenching" because it leaves less for them to slash if they get into government.
Can't believe that the "slash and burners" of good government services complain about Labor doing the same.

Leaked Info Reveal TRUTH About Palestine Action Proscription
YouTube video by Turn Left Leaked Info Reveal TRUTH About Palestine Action Proscription

Leaked documents show that the UK government was secretly advised that Palestine Action is โ€˜highly unlikelyโ€™ to advocate for violence, and that within MI5 the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre said โ€˜Palestine Actionโ€™ activism would not be viewed as terrorism.

At the price we pay for firewood (east coast Tasmania) it is far far cheaper to heat with an electric heat pump.
I like the wood heater but we try not to use it.

โ€œIsrael, over the last four years, has stood alone on the front line of Western democratic civilization, defending shared values with incredible resilience,โ€ media mogul Rupert Murdoch told a packed congregation at Sydneyโ€™s Central Synagogue during a pre-Hanukkah event on Friday.

Despite a failed season, the self managed super fund legally requires that the leasor still pays the agreed rent (at market rate).
So farm property is always problematic, if they follow the rules. (Ha ha)

So, if he removes the farm from SMSF, he has to pay tax on the capital gain now. He also has to sell it (back to himself) at a real market rate. (I am sure he thinks there is good wiggle room there)
There are still lots of perks to keep him going

Not just to avoid a vote, implying democrat members, but avoiding a vote that would have his GOP members defect and vote for decency and integrity.

We did nothing significant state or nationwide after the violent death of the child after racial slurs....
That should be a very high priority!
Instead we are denying is the right to criticize Israel for it's obvious war crimes and note the local people supporting that despotic regime.

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. 

We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival.

Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury.

Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment.

This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. 

Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. 

Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all?

This is political. 

This is targetted. 

This is state intimidation.

After the media damage is inflicted  and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. 

There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. 

We will continue to fight.

We will continue to win.
