Liberals recast 'social cohesion' as US-style politics goes global If migration is treated primarily as a cultural fault line, rather than an economic system embedded in national growth, the debate will remain loud. The structural reform will remain unfinished.

Very clear rebuttal of right wing xenophobia

Why don't the NSW ALP Caucus have the guts to stand up to Minns? They voted for this law. They are afraid of being disendorsed for the election next year.
The ALP MLCs who were there are safe until 2031 so they should have the guts to resign from the ALP, become Independents and fight Minns.

Economic growth is still heating the planet. Is there any way out? Rising GDP continues to mean more carbon emissions and wider damage to the planet. Can the two be decoupled?

'Disunity is death' – but Labor's cowed caucus has a cost too "Disunity is death" is a phrase often used in Labor circles, but it’s rarely discussed how government unity at all costs fragments society.

that all Jews are complicit in all Israel's crimes and the ongoing Genocide. Fortunately, many Australian Jews disagree with this visit and this connection with Israel's crimes.

‘Israel and Australia have always been very close friends’: Isaac Herzog’s full interview The Israeli president spoke about his controversial trip to Australia, the relationship between the nations, and what comes next for the Middle East.

Herzog is right. Australia and Israel are close because we are both genocidal colonial powers. But we are trying to change our ways. Israel is becoming worse.
Herzog's visit and the welcome from some Australian Jews may be symbolic but the main symbolism it portrays

www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

White Supremacists are the true antisemites. If Australian Jews want to equate Jewishness with unqualified support for Israel they will only attract more anger as the genocide continues.
It's Albanese who needs to show if he truly supports a 2 state solution or if he kowtows to a foreign government.

be justified in your criticism. Our protests can have some influence over Australia’s policy on Israel to equally stop trade and sanction Israel as they do with Iran.

We do need to stamp out Antisemitism but protesting against Israel’s Genocide in Gaza and the West Bank is not Antisemitism.

We have a choice with Herzog visit – futile fury or solemn solidarity A protest against the president of Israel cannot make the least difference to even a single Palestinian in Gaza. But it can continue the roiling division inside Australia.

I'm sorry Peter Hartcher. You're wrong to contrast the lack of protest against Iran with the protest against Israel. We, the West, do not fund Iran, we do not trade with Iran, we have sanctions against Iran. If those conditions were also applied to Israel you would

NSW minister for western Sydney telling ABC radio they will “ensure that forms of words that are offensive to members of the Jewish community in Australia… to feel safe to be themselves”.

This is unsustainable. We can not keep passing laws to criminalise any thoughts that zionists want silenced.

Elections are coming and I think Yaalon is positioning himself here

We can't expect anything from Albo "Bradbury". He only got re-elected because everyone else fell down. And he's just standing there doing nothing and they're all falling down around him.

Live: Minister declines to endorse Israeli president's visit to Australia Multicultural Affairs Minister Anne Aly has declined to endorse Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia in February. Follow live.

Anne Aly says Herzog was invited because
"An invitation is extended where there is an attack where foreign individuals have been the targets,".
Once again, Jewishness is conflated with being Israeli. Which is not true and criticism of Israel is NOT Antisemitism!

For single-member contests, they routinely nominate no-hopers who are a combo of the following:
- total unknowns
- not locals
- "local characters" (known lunatics)
- disgraced cranks
- people who lose votes every time they meet a voter

You don't see "well-respected local mayor" running for ON

There's polling today that suggests on current numbers One Nation could win 30+ seats. Here's a quick thread of why I think this is *very* unlikely to actually pan out

Now, a federal election probably won't be until early 2028, and a lot could change, but here's why I'm not too worried now

What happens to lefties when they get power? They suck up to the fossil fuel companies and oligarchs. They've had to suck up to the party powerbrokers for so long they've lost any bravery they had. Sorry Albo, you're no longer fit for purpose.

Labor are A Big Disappointment. And the Coal-ition are a bunch of loonies. Time to get more Community Independents in to challenge the duopoly.

The Canadien Government has made an ad about the proposed MAGA-billionaire-owned Ksi Lisims LNG terminal in British Columbia, and it's surprsingly honest and informative! Stay up to date with this… Honest Government Ad | Watch out, Canada (Ksi Lisims LNG)

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT - Juice Media take on Canada's absolutely awful LNG expansion. Also see: Australia, the US and Qatar.

Their best-case outcome is our worst-case nightmare.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Yes. We're on it in Macquarie. People should be setting up Community Independent groups in every electorate to challenge the moribund duopoly.

While Gina/Advance/IPA/Murdochs/Faragists/preferential Pauline take over the Liberal Party, a big window has opened for more meritorious independents (think ‘teals’) to run in marginal LNP (and some ALP) seats across federal electorates. Libs may have signed their own death warrant. 👇

I'm on it now.🤣🤣
