Also, why is it so vital that a foreign Head of State comes to officially mourn a group who I assume are mainly Australian?
It's not like he's the Jewish Pope

Maybe Penny Wong could ponder whether someone associated with a genocidal regime is the appropriate person to come along to mourn a mass murder.

The reason for a person coming do not erase who that person is

I cannot believe we're reading another article where the Labor caucus are acting like they're hostages. Shut the fuck up and do some politics. Break something. I have zero sympathy for any of you.

Anne Twomey is “far-left” according to the Nine papers. Their descent is so grim — once upon a time defined by their commitment to pretty basic liberal values, now the dumbest journalists alive write incoherent nonsense.

Just a shocking series of replies by Penny Wong
STEFANOVIC: Okay. The responsibility now rests with you, I think, to explain, I think, what is it, 500 pages of this document, to the Aussie public. As an example, if someone or a group says Israel engaged in genocide, will they be prosecuted now? FOREIGN MINISTER: Can I start with what the legislation does, it does a number of things. Obviously, one of the things it does is it enables the Minister to cancel and suspend visas of people who come to Australia to preach hatred. We have the gun legislation, which is toughening up the gun laws in the ways that I've described. In relation to the hate groups, what this legislation does is it enables the Minister to determine and prescribe that a group is a hate group in accordance with the legislation. But that's not a political decision. That's a decision that is done on the advice of security agencies, and the Leader of the Opposition is briefed. So, I just want to say to your viewers and to you, what we are trying to do is to crack down on groups who seek to incite hatred for the purposes of engaging in incitement and criminal activity. We're not seeking to crack down on people's, you know, difference of political debate. STEFANOVIC: So, under that, under the legislation, people will still be able, or groups will still be able to say that? FOREIGN MINISTER: Well, I'm not going to get into hypotheticals about what can and can't be said. I'm making a point about the way the legislation works. STEFANOVIC: Do you think people should be able to say that? FOREIGN MINISTER: I don't believe that, well, the Government's position is that the State of Israel has a right to exist, and we seek two states, because that is the way to ensure long-term peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. STEFANOVIC: All right. Senator, there's a lot to digest in all of this, and we appreciate you being on. Thank you. FOREIGN MINISTER: Good to be with you.

Imagine if #Russia would be destroying the headquarters of UN's UNCHR in #Ukraine today.

It would be the leading news in the 'West', eclipsing Trump and Greenland.

#Israel is today destroying the headquarters of UN's UNRWA (@unrwa.org) in #Palestine.

And it goes almost unreported in the 'West'.

The Attorney General can’t rule out that accurately describing Israel as committing genocide could land you in jail for 15 years.

One of the most interesting aspects of contemporary media discourse is the way that massive popular displays of support for pro-Palestinian and pacifist positions are just ignored by mainstream media. The Gathering for Gaza gig in Melbourne was huge

NEW: 1 in 10 teens going to headspace say the teen social media ban was a factor in their decision to seek mental health support.

This very preliminary data, supporting concerns about negative impacts of the ban, shows why more online reform is needed, headspace said.
One in 10 teens seeking mental health support from headspace cite social media ban as an issue
Early data from Australia's national youth mental health service shows that the teen social media ban emerged as a prominent factor in why 12- to 15-year-olds were coming to them.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

The Quarterly Essay, The Monthly, and The Saturday Paper are all at risk; with a publisher who is so cavalier with using his pulpit to attack.

People want their media to tell them the truth not partisan propaganda.

It's "culturally unsafe" to have a Palestinian Aus author advocate against the systematic slaughter of hundreds of thousands of her people, but it's
"a good thing" for the president of apartheid Israel, which has committed daily massacres and mass starvation for 2yrs, to visit us. Unbearably racist.

It's tempting to withhold forgiveness from people who have done evil before learning empathy but frankly calling people in and accepting they can change is how we win. Empathy is the natural human state and we can fight hate with love.

Losing my shit at Ashley St Clair doing a reverse Naomi Wolf.
Ashley St Clair: dark woke cause the other option is bootlicking feds + pedophiles + nerds JunLper: you’ve previously engaged in blatant transphobia, how do you feel about trans people in the wake of noticing how the far right truly is? Ashley St Clair: I feel immense guilt for my role. And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son’s sister more pain. Idrk how to make amends for many of these things but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt. I also haven’t said much on this bc I have gone back and forth over whether my voice would be helpful on the issue since it will be framed as disingenuous or just turning bc I’m “scorned.” Even this reply will become right wing hysteria but yeah I am sorry. Let me know how I can help

Wild that an opinion piece in the Australian on the weekend published unconfirmed things from rando accounts on X - where so much misinformation about Bondi was floating around.
Some X accounts claim the Bondi killer was in the crowd that left the Sydney Town Hall and marched to the Opera House amid chants of “Intifada” and waving of black jihadi flags. This is not confirmed, and even if the Bondi Beach gunman wasn’t there that night the extremist chants, jihadi flags and calls to kill Jews, while NSW police officers stood by, created a permission structure – the normalisation of extremism – that undoubtedly paved the way to Bondi.
