Gaza, flattened

When Israel builds its newest seaside resort over the corpse of Gaza, it will attempt to erase the erased from history, like it has done, over and over, since 1948. The western world will move on. Seinfeld and Radiohead and Nick Cave will do shows by the sea. We will all pretend. It will all be lies

They could have commenced a Royal Commission into the abuse of unemployed workers including the causes of deaths and injuries. The family of Josh Park-Fing (who died at a "work for the dole" site in 2016) is still waiting for justice.

Excellent data gathering exercise.

For balance they seem to barely register with Tasmanian govts and their voters.

Was there ever likely to be any returns to diminish? Paying bullies doesn't work in the school yard & it never works in politics.

Many people loathe Frydenberg, not because he is a Jew, but because he is a self serving arsehole. Most civilised people except western politicians, hate Netanyahu not because he is a Jew (more accurately a Zionist) but because he is a murderous, self-serving, psychopathic arsehole.

If I hear one more LNP voting Qlder moan about losing the former Miles govt's $1000 energy rebate, enabled because his govt fairly hit up mining companies to return it to us, the tax-payers, I think I'll scream. They got what they voted for & bugger the rest of us.

On this subject unfortunately yes as she was about Morrison. However, her work with Howard means I always question her motives nonetheless.

The majority of Americans, with blank looks are "thinking" (using that term loosely). what's Amnesty International...

Sarah Hanson-Young is invariably correct.

Dear oh dear these self professed "christians" are viciously unpleasant.

Ah should have known sorry!

Can imagine 😂

And as the nasty little John Howard's senior adviser she would know. While she has a point it is always wise to question her motives.

Classic! Thank goodness you're not.

Aside from being unsurprised at a Liberal's proposal to ensure the average person will never be a priority for them, getting over everything being a bloody culture war. Affordable housing, public or for future home owners is not a culture war.

American IQ Test Scores Show Recent Declines, According To New Study American IQ test scores have dropped during a recent 13-year period, according to a newly published study. That's a remarkable finding that runs counter to the well-established trend of increasing IQ ...

Yes, well aware of what the average is, the question obliquely referred to what is America's. Research indicates it is dropping tinyurl.com/yw8yjtrj Doubt the "average" American" has an IQ anywhere near 100.

While some of what Nikki Savva writes has merit, many will always remember she was a senior adviser to the shittiest little PM Australia has ever seen. Howard opened the door to those like Abbott & Morrison so forgive us if we sometimes agree with Savva while questioning her motives.

Twenty private schools with wealthiest parents received $130m total in Australian public funds in 2023 Data comes as education minister remains stalled in negotiations with states and territories over contributions to Schooling Resource Standard

All this, while our local high school can't fit its own students on campus, so will send an entire year cohort to the 6th floor of a glorified office building in the CBD, nowhere near parks or basic school facilities (ie sport, music, science).
Absolute disgrace.
