‘The time is right’: Labor luminary calls for Netanyahu sanctions, Palestine statehood Gareth Evans, Labor’s longest-serving foreign minister, rejected claims that recognising a Palestinian state would reward Hamas’ terrorism.

Even Gareth Evans is now calling for the recognition of #Palestine as a state - which has been Labor policy for a while - & sanctions on #Israel.

Stopping Australian manufactured arms components ending up in Israel would also be a simple thing to do

Vale Petro Georgiou: A principled voice for multiculturalism and humanity - Neos Kosmos Petro Georgiou AO, often described as the conscience of the Liberal Party during the Howard government's increasingly hardline stance on refugees, passed away peacefully last night at the age of 77.

When people ask me which politicians - regardless of whether I agreed with their position or not - I found to be upfront, capable & as true to their ideals as Parliament’s party system allows them to be, Petro Georgiou is always one who springs to mind #auspol

They didn’t have one. That’s why malapportionment and gerrymandering was so easy. The Australian Electoral Commission was set up in the 1980s. The Qld equivalent was set up in 1992.

and in North Queensland too! They basically had to redistribute half his electorate into another one to get him voted out.

A reminder that St Patrick’s Day also marks the date in 1948 that a Member of Parliament was deliberately bashed unconscious by Queensland police while observing a demonstration by striking workers.

Today is the sixth anniversary of an Australian neo-Nazi massacring 51 Muslims at prayer in Christchurch. Fraser Anning destroyed his political career by attributing blame for the massacre to its victims. An abhorrent assessment of an unspeakable atrocity.

Some more headstones to ponder while awaiting the Storm. 🪦

This is a tough one. I like the look of 13 & 14 best, but Peter Jackson is a really interesting story.

Guess I have to go with 14

Is there anyone out there with knowledge on the Prisoners Action Group (Brisbane), especially in its early days?

Feel free to share.

possibly not - public attitudes and enthusiasm (or lack thereof) on such things have also changed a lot in the last decade or so. But it seems too late to back out now & it is possible for good stuff to come of it. (not many positive examples of that to look back on, but it's definitely doable).
