Australia complicit? We’re up against the unwillingness of authorities/countries to implement their obligations. When there is an absence of accountability, the cycle continues: Israel has now committed a genocide with impunity due to the absence of accountability.

Agreed, the historical link is obvious. What is more recently apparent is the fascist elite (plutocracy of oligarchs) enabled by the neoliberal capitalism introduced via the Mont Pelerin Society 1947 (Hayek, Friedman et al): UK 1979, US 1981 - then via the WTO, World Bank etc. e.g. Trump's America

Neoliberal capitalism = fascism. It has irrevocably outed itself.

Good intentions aren't enough to keep us from this slippery slope It is a very, very slippery slope to start cherry-picking about the rights provided to people, even when you abhor the decisions they make.

INNOCENT TILL PROVED GUILTY is the most important principle of democracy, one of those tricky rights, that, at times is difficult to defend – the desire to punish wrongdoing without a court’s verdict lives within us all. It's called fascism & we MUST refuse it!

Zionist lobby class action over vexatious complaints after years of vexatious complaining - Michael West A new Zionist healthcare lobby has a class action against Australian health regulators over “vexatious antisemitic/antizionist complaints”

ZIONISTS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DESPERATE: Doctors who have publicly opposed Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza say Zionist litigation is deeply hypocritical as the lobby has spent the past 2 years orchestrating campaigns to silence pro-Palestinian voices in medicine

Why China needs economic growth at all costs As China's workforce shrinks and the population greys, the ruling Communist Party's social contract with its people becomes hard to sustain.

Why China DOESN'T need economic growth at all costs: 1 Migration (the contest FOR migrants - not against!); 2 Robotic AI (the rapidly vanishing jobs market as robots/AI take over) and 3 the rise of Democratic Socialism (people have had enough of neoliberalism).

Time for revolution. Democratic Socialism is gaining traction (mayoral race, NYC, Corbyn/Greens UK, AOC/Sanders US, etc.)

Albanese government gets F on its integrity report card Secrecy, a failure to curb lobbyists and diminishing accountability have scuppered the Albanese government's transparency record.

Labor Government has failed in its commitment to transparency by trying to tighten freedom of information laws; in cronyism by stalling reforms that would end a “jobs for mates” culture; and a lack of action on improving integrity in the lobbying system. Shame! www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

That's because THE PEOPLE overwhelmingly (70+%) want a quick transition to renewables. Maybe time to don (as in Don Quixote) your rusty armour, grab your lance and tilt at a few windmills...

Glasses clink as Trump and Albanese dine together Donald Trump has singled out Anthony Albanese for praise, as the two clinked glasses at a dinner with other world leaders.

What happened to our Commonwealth of Australia, with the people owning their resources (via a Nordic Model Resource Tax)? Having gifted the US our rare earths, why wouldn't Trump praise Albanese? “It’s a great honour to have you in the United States of America”

RBA drops rates hint as Australia maintains AAA status RBA boss Michele Bullock has responded to a surprise jump in unemployment as a credit agency gives Australia's finance a tick of approval.

Australia maintaining its AAA status, plus the foreshadowing of 2 interest rate cuts are powerful endorsements of Labor’s economic management. P.S. Only 2 treasurers have been named Finance Minister of the Year by Euromoney magazine, BOTH LABOR (Keating & Swan)

Heartless. Victor Chang Cardiac Institute and the Israel lobby - Michael West Professor Peter Macdonald returned to St Vincent’s Hospital, but the Victor Chang Laboratory is still excluding him from doing his research.

Re: Prof Peter MacDonald. The Zionist Israeli lobby must be challenged in the Federal Court (which has already ruled that antisemitism CANNOT be conflated with anti Zionism) for its discrimination against people, who have a right to oppose a ICJ-declared genocide.

'Sensible' centre? Tell that to the giants of The Rocks and Eureka We've had decades of sanitising radical progressive action in Australia, to make successes seem as if they were just the sensible position.

Neoliberal Centrists are conservatives, who think that people protesting against fascists, increasing authoritarian government, and the loss of what is left of the government-social contract, is just as dangerous as the people they are protesting about. Insane!

Major shift in manhunt for fugitive Dezi Freeman A new task force has been assembled to lead the search for fugitive Dezi Freeman, two months after he allegedly killed two police officers.

My Guess: Desmond Filby aka Dezi Freeman, would be a prepper, i.e. he would have an extensive system of tunnels & provisioned bunkers, so deep that special geophys equipment would be needed to detect it. He would be heavily armed & have disguised escape hatches

'I don't forget': Trump takes another jab at Rudd Snarky remarks from Donald Trump directed at ambassador Kevin Rudd have been dismissed as 'tongue in cheek' humour following crucial talks at the White House.

Murdoch is fixated on having Rudd dismissed for having the temerity to propose a Royal Commission into News Corp. Lapdogs, Sky News' editor Clennell, now Nine's Koziol, trying their partisan & inflammatory best to undermine Australia's relationship with the US.

Trump 'forgives' Rudd, as market soars over minerals deal Donald Trump has reportedly "forgiven" Australian ambassador Kevin Rudd for his disparaging remarks after Trump's first term in office.

While Sky News' Andrew Clennell's partisan sensationalism will be in Kevin Rudd's crosshairs, Sussan Ley's "back or sack Rudd" call has been quickly nullified by Trump's acceptance of Rudd's apology - all as ASX hits record high after $13b US-Aust minerals deal

Stephen Stockwell 1975: The Ballads of the Whitlam Dismissal The 50th anniversary of the dismissal of the Whitlam Government on 11 November 1975 should prompt all Australians to ponder the strength of our democracy.

'Democracy is incompatible w notions of foreign interference, privileged individuals & secrets kept from citizens.. the role of the “crown” or the Queen’s Aust representative in Whitlam's dismissal suggests we cannot be democratic until we become a republic' #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

All the way with Donald J. Albo supporting mass murder - Michael West Australia is murdering people and threatening democracy. That’s the reality of Anthony Albanese kissing Donald Trump’s ring this week.

The Hague WILL EXAMINE Australia's complicity in ICJ-declared Gaza genocide. If you support a criminal gang, provide it with weapons, keep schtum about its crimes, either pay bribes or accept being extorted, you are an accessory to everything the thugs & hitmen do.

Why support for One Nation has surged since the federal election Support for One Nation has leapt to a level that, if replicated at an election, would make it likely to win House of Representative seats.

While the growth of RW populism globally has been boosted by failures of the left to respond to voter needs, extreme RW populist parties that have racially motivated anti-immigration policies (e.g. One Nation), amount to the fascism our forebears fought against

Why Jim Chalmers backtracked on big super balances Paul Bongiorno discusses why the government caved to pressure from outside, and within, its own ranks on super.

Chalmers' backflip on big super balances has big consequences – for the government’s budget, & for its commitment to addressing wealth inequality in this country. On the latter point, does he have the courage to undertake the comprehensive tax reform needed?

Why support for One Nation has surged since the federal election Support for One Nation has leapt to a level that, if replicated at an election, would make it likely to win House of Representative seats.

Media-driven flawed perceptions of immigration, Covid lockdowns, high inflation, low wages growth, sky-high rents, housing shortages, have ALL become easy reference points for RW (racist) anti-immigration populism & why One Nation support has leapt in the polls

Power of the US passport slumps New rankings show the American passport is no longer seen as the “most powerful” in the world ­– in fact, it doesn't even make the top 10.

The anti-immigration, isolationist mindsets of both America & Australia are being reflected in both countries’ loss of passport power. US & Australian passport powers have slumped, concomitant with RW/racist/white-supremacist ideologies driving those mindsets.

We need Labor’s Mr Fixit to fix the environment, not the politics Environment Minister Murray Watt is Labor’s political "fixer" – Australians want him to fix something for us, and our planet.

We need Mr Fixit on the environment, not politics. The real climate war has been unfolding around us – 2019+ megafires, extended droughts, coastal tornadoes & floods, algal blooms in SA, uninsurable property/unaffordable premiums etc. Is Minister Watt up to it?

Zionists v Keane, Riemer, Kostakidis. Australia's massive test cases for free speech - Michael West Zionist lawsuits against Mary Kostakidis and Sydney Uni academics John Keane and Nick Riemer are a mighty test case for free speech in Australia

Zionists v Keane, Riemer & Kostakidis. Australia’s massive test cases for free speech. Crucially for these cases, the Federal Court earlier ruled that criticisms of Israel, Zionism & the Israel Defence Forces are not antisemitic & therefore do not breach the law.

Senator's 'cheapest form of electricity' claim misleads Nationals senator Matt Canavan's claim that the CSIRO has admitted that coal is the cheapest form of electricity is misleading.

Senator's energy claim selectively misleads & obfuscates the truth & totally ignores the climate crisis. Renewables remain the lowest-cost new-build electricity generation technology. The electorate is now entitled to ask "What's the reward for this deception?"
