I remember the days we fought apartheid - via sit-ins, marches, pamphlet distributions, disruptions of rugby matches - and were called "gang-rapists of democracy". That a Labor government would support such a policy and program as this is shameful. Utterly shameful.
Probably will also judge them on how much support they give to the bigots in Advance.
This is truly gross stuff.

This creeping fascism is based on conflating protests against Jews, Zionists and Israel.
The lead drafter of the IHRA definition, Kenneth Stern, warned about just this. He said it would be abused to attack academic freedom and free speech.
Exactly what Jillian Segal and the Israel lobby intended.

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

Meet the giraffe weevil, one of Madagascar’s most bizarre and iconic creatures!
That absurdly long neck isn’t just for looks. Males use it to fight rivals and help females roll leaves into perfect nests for their eggs.

My take on the interest rate rise.
The RBA wants unemployment to rise to prevent high wages growth at a time when wages are growing slower than inflation. Yeah that makes sense.

What are the odds? The RBA has raised interest rates – for no real reason other than to meet the desires of speculators | Greg Jericho
The prospect of a cash rate increase on Tuesday changed dramatically over the past month. One wonders if the Reserve Bank listened more to the commentariat than the data

The nations of the world have decided that Israel-US-UK-EU's never-ending massacre of Palestinians in Gaza is acceptable. That it is acceptable to continue a genocide after agreeing to a ceasefire. Our technologically advanced global civilization is morally degenerate.
