noting that marching to Parliament House would have moved the crowd AWAY from the genocide convention. At no point was the anti-genocide crowd intending to go towards the genocide convention and there is no evidence we were. The mere idea is a figment of police-zionist imagination.

after kettling the crowd, the police rushed the crowd, causing fear and chaos. This is called “police were restoring order” for “community safety”. The community at Town Hall was not safe - from violent police. But community is like social cohesion - white-coded.

btw the pro-genocide crowd at International Convention Centre <did> get instructions from police on safely exiting to avoid Town Hall. The crowd at Town Hall got “instructions” from police by fists, pepper spray, and steel cap boots.

Why have I never seen a video of a cop beating the shit out of a nazi?

Lessons from political cartooning After being diagnosed with an inoperable glioblastoma, The Saturday Paper’s editorial cartoonist took time to consider what really matters – and it is not politics.

Vale Jon Kudelka (1972-2026). He was one of the sharpest political cartoonists this country has ever produced. He saw through the folly and cant but never let it dim his own warmth or decency. Thoughts are with his family. You can read his essay on cartooning here:

A “major event” is usually something that attracts a huge crowd. Perhaps he’s thinking of the demonstrations?

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Monsters live among us. Monsters rule us.

I would want to vomit every day if I lived in NSW. They are fucking vile.

Reminder that the coward zealots were happy to see Adelaide and Bendigo writers festivals burn to the ground and they'll keep doing it. It costs them nothing, they even get to hide their names. They want to enforce their extreme Netanyahu fandom on all Australian cultural events.

Questions about Randa Abdel-Fattah inclusion in NSW writers festival The NSW government makes contact with the board of next month's Newcastle Writers Festival about the inclusion of Palestinian author Randa Abdel-Fattah, the ABC understands.

Clearly it’s time to appoint a permanent officer in the government to look over all the festival programs. Some fellow in a centralised office where all the art can be submitted beforehand, to make sure it’s socially cohesive. Some kind of Chief Approver, if you like www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

two party parliamentary politics, adversarial legal systems and conflict journalism are not models that can ever produce consensus or social cohesion, by design. The business model is oppositional. Look no further than their climate discourse and destruction of our only home. The arrogance. My god.

“you need to also be able to treat people as human beings”, counsels Templeman. “This is a good opportunity to demonstrate our maturity as a democracy” she says, infantilising Palestinians whose actual babies are not “recognised as human beings” by Israeli politicians like Herzog.

We (Climate Integrity) are about to drop our analysis of the fossil fuel industry donations to the major parties ahead of the 2025 federal election.

As a small spoiler - there's still a lot of dirty money flowing in politics.

I am trying to be generous and assume these clowns are from interstate and don't understand western sun in Queensland?

The Tawny Frogmouth family were in their crazy roost over a busy path again today. If they moved about 10m, they'd have a bit of peace and quiet in a more secluded tree, but they choose not to.

I sincerely hate February. Thank dog I’m in Tassie now.

"I understand people are concerned about what's happening around the world and in the Middle East, but this happened in Sydney, and I think there should be an opportunity for that community to grieve," he said [“opportunity… grieve” highlighted]

apart from a menorah on the Opera House, Day of Reflection, public Shloshim rites, NYE minutes silence, menorah on the Harbour Bridge, multiple condolences in the federal Parliament, National Day of Mourning, Chabad fundraiser at the Opera House, 144 pages of legislation and a Royal Commission.

THE AGE Log in Saying he welcomed Herzog's trip to Australia, Albanese added: "We have too much division and people have their views on the Middle East, but I'll make this point that Australia's not in a position to solve by ourselves the Middle East issues, and people don't want conflict brought here.

if “people don’t want that conflict brought here”, why would “people” want the head of the state causing the “conflict” brought here is my question.

What is Israel's Herzog doing here, who invited him, and why? - Michael West Israel's President, Isaac Herzog to arrive in Australia in February. Why is a foreign Head of State asked to help heal Australian community?

he is the political head of a foreign power, not a spiritual or pastoral leader of Judaism. This visit is by definition about zionist allegiance to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.

somebody please organise an opportunity for that community to grieve.

Still only rich people that can afford to bring cases like this. Let alone win.

Liberal MP complains to ABC managing director about Tony Armstrong’s satire special Melissa McIntosh, who claims Always Was Tonight violated ABC charter, has been dubbed the ‘Liberal party fun police’ by the Greens

Complaining about the comedic depiction of Indigenous kids in jail, but doing nothing about the fact of Indigenous kids being massively over incarcerated? That's the Australian way.
