Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

It is sad to see the good name of the FIFA Peace Prize tarnished in this way.

All religions suppress women because they were all invented by men at a time when the only way of ensuring that your children were, in fact your children was to suppress women.

If they succeed in getting refunds, will they then refund the consumers? If not it’s just another massive wealth transfer from the public to corporations.

Of course I don’t want a Trump Tower in Australia, but if it has to happen the Gold Coast is the most appropriately soulless and tacky place for it

The Israeli persecution of Palestinians in the West Bank is escalating, even as Israel continues its genocide in Gaza. And Western govts (incl. Australia's) not only ignores these horrific crimes, they provide support to the terrorist state of Israel. Deeply ashamed of my Australian Govt. 😒 #auspol

Supporting removing Prince Andrew from the line of succession is good but what would be better is removing Australia from an inherited dynasty of wealth and privilege that protected him and his class for far too long

Australian One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson

Australian One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson

Imagine the outrage if a Federal MP asked "Show me a good Jew!" Yet Pauline Hanson can rptedly vilify the Australian Muslim community by asking "Show me a good Muslim!" Shouldn't she be charged under the new hatespeech laws?! #auspol #Islamophobia

Media that accused ABS of censorship and politicisation should apologise Right-wing commentators and think tanks owe the ABS an apology after falsely accusing it of censorship and politicisation over migration data.

More people were punished for advocating for a free Palestine than being connected to the Epstein Files.

Why blaming childcare for inflation is absurd In the aftermath of the Reserve Bank’s decision to raise rates, the various parties that now make up the non-government side of things (β€œOpposition” feels far too a cohesive term) have taken to trying...

Maybe Penny Wong could ponder whether someone associated with a genocidal regime is the appropriate person to come along to mourn a mass murder.

The reason for a person coming do not erase who that person is

So the NSW police now get to decide forever who gets to protest and when

Ted O'Brien who joined the Liberal party after coming third in a Scott Morrison look-a-like contest is now blaming Labor for the Coalition split.

The 'I don't hold a hose' party is never responsible for anything. #auspol

What a vile world we live in, when a regime indicated by charges of genocide can reportedly bomb & kill nearly 30 people today in Gaza & it doesn't even seem to make the main pages of so-called western "news" organisations! You'd think mass killing people, during a "ceasefire", would be newsworthy!

Ch7 News really struggling with using the English language! He didn't "pose as a fake casting agent"! He posed as a casting agent. Or: he was a fake casting agent. To be clear: He did NOT pretend to be a fake casting agent! πŸ™„ #journalism #crime

Betcha we will. Aussie public may not be silent. ( neither were the Scots) but our government will be just as craven as the British government.

Inviting the guy who signs bombs before blowing up kids isn't exactly bringing social cohesion.

AUS mainstream news media:
A white man:
β€’ didn't throw a bomb, he threw a
"device intended to explode"
β€’ at an #InvasionDay rally crowd
NOT attempted mass murder, it took days to call it a "potential terrorist attack"
β€’ can't report his identity due to "concerns for HIS safety"

For decades, Israel has justified the apartheid, subjugation and mass murder of Palestinians by declaring them all β€œterrorists” without any proof, due process or trial.

Sound familiar?

B'Tselem published a new report on Israel's detention facilities, describing them as "a network of torture camps for Palestinians, with the systematic abuse even more extensive than before".

Mourning Bondi. Australia's hierarchy of grief - Michael West Australia suffers from selective empathy. And nowhere is that clearer than in the way our political and media class decide who can mourn.

"Australia does not suffer from a lack of empathy. It suffers from selective empathy. .. nowhere is that clearer than in the way our political and media class decide who is allowed to mourn"

When 88 Australian's were killed in the 2002 Bali terror attack, Australia didn't get a Voice to Indonesian Parliament.

John Howard didn't criticize President Megawati Sukarnoputri or demand a Royal Commission.
