Preferential (Ranked Choice) Voting for Dummies…

Dr Verity Cooper for Sturt @drveritycooper.bsky.social · Apr 17

Our preferential voting system, explained with the use of ... schooners of beer! How relatable! ⤵️

Moral of the story:
✳️ Preferences matter, even if you vote for an outside chance!
✳️ Number every square (after 1️⃣ for me, of course!)

Paul is 🎯: you will not see this story in US or most western mainstream media outlets.
Because even if not pro-Israel, they are fundamentally racist.

Which is why they covered the release of 20 Israeli hostages with so much more detail and compassion than the 2,000 Palestinian hostages released.

Paul Eric Scannell @pauleric70.bsky.social · 7h

This belongs in every headline!! 💔💔💔💔💔

This is the most heartbreaking video today.
A Palestinian hostage who’s just been released was told his wife and children were slaughtered by Israel while he was held hostage.
His youngest daughter was turning two years old on Oct 18, in five days.

As childhood immunisation rates continue to fall, herd immunity against other serious diseases, such as mumps, rubella, whooping cough and meningitis, could be lost, says AMA president Danielle McMullen. satpa.pe/cfDdTn2

The rising risks of vaccine reluctance

The latest drop in childhood immunisation rates has raised concerns among medical authorities that some communities are losing herd immunity to diseases such as measles.

Freedom to not be brutalised, starved & massacred might rank a tad ahead of that… humanity knows that Netanyahu in effectively promoted & supported Hamas in order to undermine the PA… meanwhile thieving subhuman settler rats have been encouraged to swarm across the West Bank ransacking & thieving!

It wasn't a "war", it was genocide.

There is no "maintaining the peace" until there is justice for Palestinians.

Trump,
with the attention span of a goldfish and the diplomatic skills of a property developer,
will do nothing to ensure it.

The war in Gaza is over, says Trump. Now who will be responsible for maintaining the peace? | Roy Schwartz

Israelis believe their interests are better served by Washington than Jerusalem. But will Trump and Netanyahu’s focus change now the hostages are home? asks Roy Schwartz, senior editor at Haaretz

Adam Parsons tells us Palestinians "feel" that Palestinians held in Israeli prisons are hostages too

Feel?

People are seized from their homes & locked up indefinitely without trial or charge, with no evidence against them & not even told why they've been locked up!

"Feel".

We call for the immediate opening of all humanitarian crossings and for UNRWA to be allowed to bring aid in at scale.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Apart from the rewriting of history, there's a sad reason why most mainstream media gave so much more attention to 20 Israeli hostages than 2,000 Palestinian hostages:

They are racist. The standard operating procedure for western reporting on this 'war' has been, and is, to dehumanize Palestinians.

Well done #MediaWatch for highlighting the Albanese government’s shameless attempt to make the #FOI system even worse.
