Clearly quotas for women in Parliament work, how about quotas for non property owners.

Does the same apply to Latham?

Three frames. 1. Dan Tehan telling radio interviewer “We’d like to see the facts.” 2. interviewer puts large archive box on table (labelled FACTS - UN REPORTS, HUMANITARIAN AGENCIES, DOCTORS, LOCAL PRESS etc). 3. Tehan says, “Those are NOT the facts we’d like to see.”

Facts.

Starmer is thinking what we are thinking and what most of the world is thinking.

Not funny, but true: All tyrants eventually fall. But after that happens, the people and institutions that bowed down to them will never regain their reputations.

Opinion | I Watched It Happen in Hungary. Now It’s Happening Here.

“After years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse, I came to understand that the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence.” (gift article)

Turns out the best way to make a deal to get out of your child sex trafficking conviction is to have one of your clients get elected president.

You forgot to mention in your summary that it was Donald Trumps former defence attorney doing the interview who is now the number two at the justice department.

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.

Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Brilliant.

I feel like a useless political hobbyist clicking likes on these posts - might actually start attending protests and try to do something

For decades, most of the world stood by and watched in silence (or 👏) as Israel created & controlled the Gaza Concentration Camp.

And when Israel flicked the switch in 2023 to turn the CC into the Gaza Extermination Camp, the world 👏 or stood silently by.

And still we watch. #GazaGenocide

Censuring a Senator because of this.

Listening to the likes of @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social and @michaelcohen212.bsky.social talk about Epstein, can't help but feel they are running cover for people they know, if not themselves?

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day.
Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

“On thing that is galling about all the focus on the Antisemitism Envoy is that there is no equivalent position for First Nations people.” - Isabelle Reinecke #SundayShot #auspol

She was selected to pacify the Zionist lobby. Tony Burke is a bit of a sloppy bitch - kids in business class on the taxpayer dime, support for this lady - messy

It’s very difficult to seperate religion from nationality when the country of Israel has a religious emblem on its flag. Israel = Judaism / Judaism = Israel

Zionist Lobby Wins, Australia Loses Again Jillian Segal’s appointment as antisemitism envoy was political theatre. Now, trust in government truth-telling among young Australians continues to erode.

"Expecting Australians to believe that a woman entrusted with one of the country’s most sensitive political roles has no awareness of her household’s political donations is not just implausible, it’s insulting."

Antisemitism happens – it’s bad! But there are already a gazillion anti-protest laws. Do we need more? | First Dog on the Moon It’s not unreasonable or racist to protest against genocide

Good Dog …

We don't need a more competent, less embarrassing Zionist in this special envoy role. Because the role is to quash opposition to a genocide. Scrap the whole authoritarian project completely, and then, if you want, appoint First Nations elders as an all-forms anti-racism envoy

Vic Liberal leader Brad Battin is under fire after holding a rally with Firefighting union boss Peter Marshall to attack Jacinta Allan on a fire truck featuring a misogynistic “Ditch the Bitch” slogan. Abbott didn’t last long as leader after he did this, neither should Battin.

It's easier to build a loyal gestapo from scratch than re-purpose existing career professionals to do your dirty work.

Um - someone with hatred was paying him….

The government could at least mandate the same fee for all businesses regardless of size. Small operators pay substantially more than their larger competitors.

How to silence academic speech on Palestine Jillian Segal’s proposal seeks to mobilise the IHRA definition of antisemitism and would have far-reaching implications for students and staff across Australian universities.

Opinion | Jillian Segal's plans to combat antisemitism will silence academic speech at Australian universities. As writer and lecturer Na'ama Carlin writes, it is already difficult to express pro-Palestine views without fear of sanction.
