A new mediocrity. Hansonism is already dragging the centre of political gravity rightward. This is who we are now. Timid, fragile and defensive. With the Coalition presenting as One Nation-lite and even Labor panicking?

I don’t know when Labor governments stop trying to please conservatives and learn that even by adopting their talking points and agreeing they’ll still get slammed - SO WHY NOT STAND FOR THE ACTUAL TRUTH AND WHAT’S RIGHT but it’s not today. This goes for appointments too

This is blatant child abuse.

Interesting to note that these irresponsible, wilfully ignorant parents are fine with their poor child receiving medical treatment in hospital yet chose to deny him a safe and effective vaccine that would have prevented such heartbreaking suffering

YouTube video by Al Jazeera English We need to change the system that has allowed the genocide in Gaza to fester : Francesca Albanese

Heart-rending videos accompany the discussion with a member of the Israeli Knesset and the UN special rapporteur on Gaza. Albanese urges a broad-based boycott of Israel and Israel-connected business as the only possible route to change.

Trumps reckons he's stopped "8, maybe 9" wars but in fact hasn't personally stopped any.

Killing continues in Gaza Strip, despite Trump's 'ceasefire', & illegal settlers run amok in West Bank.

Despite months of efforts, Russia's war on Ukraine continues.

Unspeakable warfare in Africa ignored.

There's much more money to be made with less risk, with exchange traded funds in blue chip Companies. Interesting that people are just realising this.

Also, banks won't lend against rental income either which makes negative gearing less of an incentive because of a cash poor structure.

As Gandalf said in Lord of the Rings: β€œWar is coming.”

Trump has announced a 10–15 day deadline. And the scale of US deployments into the Middle East, looks far more like preparation for war than anything else.
