“In the history of News Corp holy wars … rarely has there been one with less basis in reality than that being conducted against Human Rights Law Centre legal director and Jewish Council of Australia executive officer Sarah Schwartz” - great read!
Opinion | News Corp's latest holy war is against a Jewish lawyer who disrupted the right-wing pro-Netanyahu narrative. It's intended to silence any more dissent, writes @keanebernard.bsky.social.

It’s deeply distressing the Attorney General has approved extraditing Dan Duggan to the US. He has chosen to send this Australian father of 6 to a politicised prosecution and done so just before Christmas hoping everyone has switched off from the news. This is so wrong.
