The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.

Some decry this view as "socialism."

I call it fair.

A hot mess. The 'irregulation' of sneaky Sportsbet - Michael West The accounts of Sportsbet are a hot mess. An independent analysis finds multiple breaches of accounting standards, ergo the laws of Australia.

They did this experiment.

The other monkeys beat the greedy monkey up and stole all his stolen bananas.

Another experiment that proved that monkeys are cleverer than people.

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel.

Now no one dares.

Not in a million years. We desparately need another Whitlam - or a Curtin or a Chifley - and instead, we have someone more like Holt.

It’s too late George (Brandis). Andrew Hastie (Lib., Canning) has already jumped the shark. He’s joined the illiberal Faragists and Trumpists. The key question: does Sussan Ley have the party room numbers to survive this week, then months, years to the 2028 election?

The premier needs to give the police new powers to *checks notes* actually use the powers they already have, to prevent the kind of protest that took place on Sunday.

Confidential Western Australian government report warns gas exports risk slowing Asia’s move to clean energy Report by consultants Deloitte undermines Labor’s public claims that WA’s gas exports help reduce emissions overseas

"Exports of Australian gas carry “substantial risks” of slowing the move to cleaner energy in Asian countries, according to a confidential report for the Western Australian government that undermines the government’s own narrative that the industry helps cut global emissions."

Neo-Nazi rally outside NSW parliament allowed to go ahead by police A neo-Nazi rally outside the NSW parliament on Saturday morning was deemed "authorised" because police had chosen not to oppose the public assembly.

So the fabled "Police intelligence" didn't extend to figuring out what a demo notice from an outfit called "White Australia" might involve. Interesting. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Police allowed Nazi rally outside NSW parliament More than 60 people attended Saturday morning’s rally after notifying police more than a week ago. The police commissioner said he had no idea it was going to happen.

In NSW, white supremacist neo-nazis are allowed to run free with their hate, racism and anti-semitism, while those standing up for justice for Palestine are relentlessly attacked, policed and vilified.

Shame on the Minns Labor government.

Andrew Hastie: soldier for an extreme version of governing by Christ Andrew Hastie is a more extreme Fundamentalist Christian than Scott Morrison. Australians cannot let his attempts to lead the nation go unchallenged. His place on the ARC Board is a warning.

Murdoch’s culture warriors are interlinked with the Atlas Network & national conservatism more and less officially. Rita Panahi is pushing Atlas partner affiliate Jacinta N Price with natcon-ish Andrew Hastie as a ticket. This is part of Murdochista’s job. #Auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

OFFICIAL – Israel’s proposed death-penalty law is a war crime Not satisfied it seems with the continued genocide of Palestinians, Israel is now looking to execute Palestinian prisoners by introducing a death penalty law.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Retired Australian teacher discovers the oldest fossil of its kind in southern hemisphere – and a new species Robert Beattie, 82, has found specimens of a 151m-year-old midge that challenge what we know about how the insects evolved * Sign up for climate and environment editor Adam Morton’s free Clear Air newsletter here As a boy, holidaying with his family in the New South Wales coastal town of Gerringong, Robert Beattie found a shell in a rock. It turned out to be hundreds of millions of years old – a Permian fossil, common to the Sydney basin. “I couldn’t believe it,” Beattie recalls. “I’ve been interested in fossils ever since.” That childhood discovery, made in 1948, sparked a lifelong passion for palaeontology, one that that has taken him to dig sites across Australia’s eastern states, seen him present his findings internationally – and discover a fossil that changes what we know about how insects evolved.

It's a shame that Minns' role model appears to be the likes of Askin, and not of Lang.

A Nazi rally was approved by police due to "a communication error".

No Premier, they don't need "more powers".
They need to do their job.

Which will be easier if you stop playing politics with the anti-genocide #FreePalestine movement, and direct police to the real antisemitic threats. #nswpol
