How many Anthony Albaneses does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just the one, but first he has to get approval from the US, Israel, the fossil fuel industry, the mining industry, the sports gambling industry, Jill Segal, property investors, wealthy private schools…

The PM "is the nesting Matryoshka dolls of Australian politics: after every term he sheds another layer revealing an even smaller Anthony Albanese inside.

The centre will not hold because there is no centre there. If you look at the primary votes for the 'major' parties, it is already obvious." 💥

I'm old enough to remember this excellent work from nearly 20 years ago on postcodes, poverty and opportunity.

Which Federal and State governments have of course largely ignored.

So no surprise; #inequality is getting worse. #auspol

You cannot be serious? What a pathetic statement.

You could try less communing with sky fairies and more reflection on the moral vacuum of your actions on climate, Gaza and housing.

Time to pulp Jillian Segal's antisemitism plan? - THE POLITICS The special envoy has produced a report which is shocking in its authoritarian overreach and if approved could damage Australia's democracy.

Yes, it's time to pulp the #JillianSegal plan.
But the plan is not the problem.

It's the appointment of a pro-Israel zealot with Trumpian inclinations and no policy skills, and
a PM who is more concerned with appeasing Zionists than fighting racism. #auspol

We must be precise in calling out the Trump administration for what it is: a fascist regime.

If the Government is interested in tax reform, we have a few ideas.

Between taxing the gas industry, fixing tax loopholes and ending fossil fuel subsidies, these changes could raise up to $63 billion, supporting better services and reducing inequality.

Segal has to go.

First Nations should have a voice to parliament.

Albo is the ineffectual leader of a weak, right wing government and the appointment of right wing nut jobs to positions of influence is entirely consistent with their policy position on Israel, and the American alliance.

“The reality is of course, the Israeli propaganda machine is a highly organised movement that has been well under way since the middle of last century.

It's slick, it's coordinated & it’s designed to do two things - silence any dissent & terrify any other person or organisation from doing the same”

The special envoy’s plan is the latest push to weaponise antisemitism in Australia, as a relentless campaign pays off | Louise Adler The omissions are as important as the inclusions in Jillian Segal’s plan, which is guilty of overreach

One might pause to wonder what First Nations people, who are the victims of racism every day, feel about the priority given to 120,000 well-educated, secure and mostly affluent individuals.

As well as her husband's Advance role, this from @yaakov-aharon.bsky.social set out Segal's own links with Israel's military; eg
"as the longstanding chair of AICC...she remains cozy with Israeli bosses and weapons contractors who profit from Israel’s forever war."

I hate John Howard.
I hate Tony Abbott.
I hate Scott Morrison.
I am ashamed of my current Aus Govt.
I am deeply, irrevocably disappointed in Anthony Albanese. #auspol

PM Albanese’s support for Zionist Israel shames us all.

That’s not entirely fair. It’s a trade delegation to China.

“Jewish people are feeling unsafe”.

Personally, I would feel less safe if her Zionist-Trumpist recommendations are implemented.

For starters, the dodgy definition of antisemitism she proposes conflates Jewishness with Zionism, and is a recipe for silencing dissent. #auspol

Jillian Segal's interview on ABC730 last night revealed her to be utterly unable to provide even basic examples of things she alleges in her report are happening.

Her report is a farrago of distortion and lies. Treat it with the contempt it deserves

Jillian Segal’s husband is John Roth, whose company Henroth Investments Pty Ltd donated $50,000 in 2023-24 to Advance Australia, one of the most inflammatory and divisive special interest groups in Australian politics

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social
I am deeply disturbed by the Zionist agenda being pushed by your Govt's Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal. The Australian Federal Court has ruled that opposing Zionism and criticising Israel's genocide in Gaza is NOT anti-Semitic. I agree with Dr Max Kaiser. 👇 #auspol

The country run by a man convicted 34 times for financial fraud views providing healthcare to people as “freeloading”. Seriously, AUS, are we finally done with this arsehole country yet?
