What is it about Labor politicians in this country & their utter capitulation to the Zionist lobby? What exactly are they afraid of? You keep giving into bullies and they only keep coming back for more. Malinauskus has just blown up his own state’s reputation for enlightened liberalism. What a hack.

Gotta say, the cancellation of Adelaide Writers' Week gives me some hope for Australia's ability to navigate this.
A great loss for the literary community, but writers/thinkers/audiences aren't going to stand for the bullying and pressure.
Unclear when the politicians are going to figure it out.

What is the end game here? No publicly funded cultural events that aren’t approved by Israel? No arts boards that aren’t pro-Israel? The sections of our political class and media who are active in this attempted gutting of our cultural landscape need to ask wtf they are doing here.

Will there be calls for a Royal Commission into Islamophobia?
Will Grant Hackett get involved? Will community leaders blast the Albanese government for not listening to the Islamophobia envoy? Will Pauline Hanson be castigated by Sky for causing this, as Mehreen Faruqi was castigated over Bondi?

On Saturday, an imam and his wife were allegedly victims of a violent hate crime — forced off the road by another car, with attackers then getting out to assault the imam/threaten his wife.
ANIC put out a statement on Sunday arvo, noting rising islamophobia.
The media is just getting to it now.

Popped into the city to pick up my order at Beekeeper Parade followed by obligatory ride on the new Melbourne metro from Town Hall to State Library, then an easy connection to the Mernda line at Melbourne Central.

At this #Delft intersection, people on bikes and pedestrians get a continuous green.
The arrival of a car or truck sets off a sensor, which allows it to cross. The default is green for humans, red for cars.

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally.

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed
Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

Tomorrow's a big day for trains on Victoria’s Gippsland line. The timetable is changing, and passenger train frequency between Melbourne and Traralgon is increasing from one every hour to one every 40mins. Let’s take a walk down memory lane to put this in an historical context. (1/7)
