That’s the rule in state parliaments, where there is no section 44.

My mum grew up in Minneapolis. Like me, she is horrified to see ICE terrorise the city. She is also proud to see residents rally to save their neighbours and protest against tyranny.

She just messaged me: ‘Minnesota nice is now Minnesota strong 💪’.

Solidarity to the brave people of Minnesota.

Say no more, mon amour.

Winning elections isnt the only measure of democracy.

Chavez closed opposition media, banned opposition candidates, stacked the courts with loyalists.

Absolutely he was authoritarian!

Can confirm it’s available in Australia and acquired a copy.

Spoke to my mother this morning about the attack at Bondi.

She summarised the Jewish spirit well:

‘We survive. Go eat.’

Hard to find words this morning, so will just repost this message from the Jewish Council of Australia.

I don't usually post clips from my ice hockey matches, but I was pretty proud of stopping this 2 on 1 breakaway last night.

That would explain a lot

Get in touch with Rachel Caines at AWM. She’s doing a PhD on this.

I’m old enough to remember when there was a pandemic, the Australian borders closed, and when stuff reopened after lockdowns there were massive staff shortages in all sorts of industries (especially hospitality and agriculture) because of the lack of immigrants.

I had the pleasure of being a judge for the NSW Regional and Community History and Australian History categories in this year’s NSW Premier’s History Awards.
