SBS staff sworn off naming Palestine despite federal recognition SBS staff remain unable to use the word Palestine in news reporting despite federal recognition of the state last month as tensions over reporting on the conflict in Gaza remain high.

BREAKING: SBS management has instructed staff to avoid using the word "Ukraine" in case it offends their Russian audience.

[No, it's not true, but makes as much sense as this craven stupidity.] #auspol

I'd be checking that the Israeli team was at the negotiation before I turned up. They have form, bombing the negotiators.

This is the anti-Semitism label problem.... People who blindly hate because of racism, from the right, yep anti-Semitism. People who are informed and despise the treatment of Palestine for over 70 years in the name of a Jewish state by the Israel government, well it's a reasonable disgust....

Almost every other democratic country would call these "far left" judges centrist or centre right. The whole US system is much further right based than anywhere else.

One suspects that if a local mayor and a posse of local police turned up at an ICE facility and demanded access to have a poo, they might be turned down as well. What a load of rubbish!

Wants to be allowed into a secure police area without prior arrangements with a group of armed masked men. Unsurprisingly this demand was rejected.

Being a bit contrary lately? Or are you moving into that dreaded conservatism that comes on with age?
You are not planning a move to the Gold Coast are you?

The rules of war are there to protect your soldiers from abject cruelty as well as civilians.
Already the USA refuses to be part of The Rome Statute and the ICC and so stands outside international court accountability.
It's quite an untenable position for a veto member of the Security Council.

They consider "everyone" in Gaza a potential combatant. They will receive the hostages and then claim they have not all left and continue to occupy and bomb.
It's so Fekn transparent and quite consistent with the G'cidal bastard's actions.

It is wild that the only real corruption exposed during the operation of the NACC has been that of the appallingly compromised Commisioner himself.

Brereton cannot remain in the job.
