No one invited Pauline Hanson to Ramadan Nights in Lakemba did they? Oh well, see you there Sunday night inshallah!

Australian federal politics is going to be increasingly unrestrained racism all the way to the next election, no point pretending otherwise

Looks like the Epstein administration isn’t so popular.

The Senate Inquiry into Climate Disinformation is on again today (& tomorrow) - starting at 9am with META.

Disinformation is at the heart of many of the issues we face so this inquiry is worth catching. Watch here - & full schedule below #auspol > www.youtube.com/live/Vwuqxfy...

say the line bart meme, Angus Taylor edition. "Fantastic. Great move. Well done, Angus"

Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension.

Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.

In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

Is Angus Taylor the answer to the Liberal Party’s problems?

“No. He’s absolutely not.”💥 #auspol

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

“Well done Angus”

Sign: normal people don’t sign bombs

Another apt sign.
Herzog isn’t welcome.

Sophie Scamps MP:
"At the very time the Government is welcoming President Herzog into Parliament House, with the entrance being officially lined with Israeli flags, Israel is moving to extend the illegal occupation of the West Bank thus undermining the hope for a two-state solution."

Charts showing that the PBO estimates that in this current financial year the discount will cost $21.8bn in revenue forgone. The richest 1% will get 59% or $12.9bn of it:

John Howard brought in a tax policy that delivers 59% of the benefit to the richest 1%.

It truly is time to ditch the Capital Gains Tax 50% discount

CBA has raked in $5.4bn in profit in half year results while ANZ's profit rose to $1.94bn & the average mortgage is up $70,000 in last 12 months. It's no secret that in a housing crisis the big banks’ obscene profits come directly from mortgagees & renters.

Greens call for probe into decision to hold police funeral for paedophile cop The Greens will push for Tasmania's parliament to scrutinise how police handled child abuse allegations against former officer Paul Reynolds, and why it was decided to give him a full police funeral.

If only we could build submarines with the efficiency of the retired generals revolving door

Just discovered $3 billion in extra nuclear sub spending between May and December $15.4B → $18.6B

Where's the $3 billion going? Defence: "Take it on notice"

That's enough money to build 10,000s public homes but for Defence it's pocket change they lost down back of the couch.

As Herzog commemorates Bondi, IDF desecrates Australian war graves - Michael West Herzog is here to offer solace to those devastated by the Bondi massacre. Meanwhile, the IDF desecrates the graves of Australian soldiers.

Israel undermines two-state solution while Herzog visits Australia While Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Sydney, his government was taking concrete actions in the West Bank designed to "continue to kill the idea of a Palestinian state".

Laura Tingle on the money as always.

Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich: "We will continue to kill the idea of a Palestinian state".

Single frame. Chris Minns stands beside a massive tonne weight marked NSW POLICE being lowered by a crane. Visible sticking out from under the weight are hands, legs, a woman’s face, a keffiyeh and placards saying “NO TO GENOCIDE”, “FREE PALESTINE”, “HERZOG OUT”, “NO TO VIOLENCE” Minns says, “Thst should socially cohere them nicely.”

We will decide where you protest against unreasonable actions of the state and the places in which you do it.

When peaceful protest is allowed to work, democracy works Melbourne’s mass protest against the visit of Israel President Isaac Herzog showed how large, diverse crowds can assemble peacefully when police exercise restraint and common sense. Sydney’s response ...

"We were allowed to exercise our democratic right to speak up in one Australian capital city this week, less so in another. This is a shameful state of affairs." #auspol #springst #nswpol #HerzogNotWelcome

Opinion | This Is Just Who Trump Is

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

If you are reading this it is because I’m dead: here’s what I want to tell you about how to live | Carlos Hernández de Miguel Leaving this world in an age of lies and cruelty, my last message is simple: don’t give up on truth, says Spanish journalist Carlos Hernández de Miguel

'What I do know is that I will leave this world without understanding why the international community chose to remain impassive while Israel perpetrated a genocide right before its eyes, broadcast live, minute by minute, massacre by massacre.'
