The Albo government's antisemitism bill is a rushed hatchet job. Nobody has proper time to consider it carefully enough, and it will have all sorts of unintended consequences if passed. It is the worst kind of law-making: moral panic induced, pandering to powerful lobby groups' demands.

I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission.
In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here:

Don’t forget the apathetic citizens. None of this happens if you don’t let it. Too distracted by Capitalismas to realise what’s happening to them.

Rabbi Eli Schlanger is STILL being praised on the ABC News website. This Zionist hate preacher openly celebrated Israel's #GazaGenocide, raised funds for illegal Israeli settlements in the #WestBank AND called for the ethnic cleansing of "Arabs" from Palestine bc "it's our land, it belongs to us." 😲

I've just finished reading the judgment in the Lehrmann appeal to the Federal Court and a few points really stuck out - apart from the fact that the appeal judges agreed that Lehrmann's story was an absolute fabrication.

Lisa Wilkinson was found to have been poorly done by in the original judgment

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

In a wealthy country like Australia, poverty should be a policy choice – not a natural condition. Yet here we are, in 2025, with government income support payments that sit well below the poverty line, and tax concessions that overwhelmingly benefit the already wealthy.

Instead of giving money to the rich, why not give it to the poor? The country can afford it - we just choose not to.
