Prominent Labor figures join calls for antisemitism royal commission A group of former Labor MPs, senators and party officials have signed an open letter asking Anthony Albanese to call a national royal commission into the Bondi terror attack.

Why no one on this site calls for #Royal Commission into #Bondi terror attacks ? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Most likely BS. But if he can convince Zelensky to give up that territory in exchange for peace, job done in his view. Issue is they will just keep fighting. In this region not much meaning for human life. Stopping war at any price should be priority.

One must admit Trump knows his s$&t well. Donated 100B to Ukraine in weapons and wants 500B worth of minerals. And funny enough am pretty sure he will get it. It's all about the $$$$...

Trump calls Zelensky a 'dictator' in tit for tat US President Donald Trump has called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "dictator without elections," as the pair engage in public mudslinging.

Is that factually correct ? I thought presidential order /directive or whatever he signs basically overrules everything ?

But they shouldn't get citizenship. They should get same visas as their parents. And if parents get green card so should kids. This citizenship by birth is nonsense. Always was btw.

That's fine. Just give them same rights as the parents. It's standard practice everywhere around the world.

With one thing i do agree - birthright citizenship should be scraped. Why does it exist to begin with? in #Australia you just receive the visa of your parents (or their dependent). very fair.
