A screenshot of a headline of an article in the Herald Sun newspaper. It reads: 'The great class divide: Report reveals $10.8b funding gap between Vic’s private and public schools'.

Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor: that's the reality under Australia's Labor governments. The coddled children of the elite get taxpayer-funded theatres and olympic swimming pools, while working-class kids and their teachers have to make do with crumbling demountables.

Do we really think #Labor would use fear of #Islam as a political tool? If you asked me ten years ago I’d have said no. No way. Now, I see you @AlboMP.bsky.social. I’m not scared of Muslims - I’m scared of fascism and you’re sliding that slippery slope. #FromAllTheLandsOnEarthWeCome and we vote.

Why are all these hate promoters being allowed into Australia @albomp.bsky.social? lucyham29.substack.com/p/the-advanc...

Aukus?
When were the Australian public asked?
When were we asked if Australia should become a nuclear nation?
When were Australians asked if they want to become a nuclear target?
When were we asked if we wanted to have nuclear weapons in our ports?

Israel pushes ahead in West Bank as Herzog visits Australia While Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Sydney, his government was taking concrete actions in the West Bank designed to "continue to kill the idea of a Palestinian state".

Ethnic cleansing.

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, invited Herzog after the 14 December antisemitic attack at Bondi, saying his visit was intended to foster “a greater sense of unity”.

How's this going for you champ

All cops…

NSW Premier. Israel Government’s lapdog and servant.

Thanks Anthony Albanese for so much social cohesion. This is all on you. #auspol.

And what exactly is the massive police presence achieving apart from intimidation and inflammation? Premier Minns, do tell.

This man was arrested in Australia today for being an ‘agitator’ for yelling ‘shame’ at a passing Israel President Herzog, on the basis it ‘incited fear’ - FFS!

This is totally fucked, our draconian & worsening anti-protest laws are what’s shameful.

Jewish people represent roughly 0.4%–0.5% of the total Australian population.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, represent 3.2% of the total Australian population.

One of these groups has no voice in parliament.

Anybody arrested or charged protesting against war criminal & president of the terrorist state of Israel Herzog - my law firm will represent you pro-bono.

Dear @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social

Are prejudicial statements intended to stoke fear and hate against whole religious communities ok under the new hate speech laws?
Just checking…

To be clear. This was an act of domestic terrorism. The reason it hasn't been declared as such, is that the intended victims are indigenous Australians.

Statement from our client Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. It is a tragedy that Adelaide Writers' Week has been destroyed, for nothing. However, this is a massive win for artistic freedom and hopefully a turning point in this time of unhinged McCarthyist witch-hunting. Randa is a hero and we love her.
