"The power of one man in a white T-shirt coming between a terrorist and his victims is being shown around the world as an example of how Australia...conducts itself in the face of terror."
Yet Jillian Segal failed to mention this man's courage.
Or his name.

There are now more guns in the community per capita than in the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre, with at least 2,000 new firearms lawfully entering the community every week

Netanyahu, Sussan Ley, & others choosing to attempt to score political advantage from the horrific events at Bondi, do a great disservice to all striving for greater peace & understanding in society.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

As a GP working since 1990, I can only marvel at the significant changes to cervical cancer screening and detection. From annual Pap smears to biannual and now 5 yearly CSTs and self collect for asymptomatic patients while case numbers plummet and deaths fall. Science, I salute you 😊

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.
