Follow the money - everything else (including Files) is simply a distraction from the scam.

Violent conflict is what the protagonists are seeking in order to justify the declaration of martial law and postpone elections indefinitely.

SC Judge Diane Goodstein’s home has burned to the ground after a reported explosion. Three people, including her husband, were hospitalized. SLED is investigating the fire as suspicious.

Gough Whitlam apparently said that a Labor government is one of reform or it’s nothing. @albomp.bsky.social and comrades have clearly chosen the latter.

They might be trying to stir up enough trouble to β€œjustify” the declaration of martial law and normalize the presence of the military in the streets - especially in the lead up to elections, so that intimidating troops can stand guard at the polling stations.

The Australian β€œLiberal” party has completely destroyed the meaning of the term liberal, at least in Australia.

The myth of 'social cohesion' - do as they say, not as they do - The Shot There’s an established principle in law: he who comes looking for equity must come with clean hands. The clean hands...

My latest article in The Shot

"The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club"

The guardrails of this democracy have turned out to be flimsy. Lessons to be learned if it manages to survive.

Words are the government’s way of kicking the ball down the road into the long grass where it is lost. Action is already long overdue.

Great to see this case against peaceful climate protesters dropped. It should never have been brought in the first place.

For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable.

We are deeply concerned by the ongoing repression of dissent.
