This from Jan Fran 🔥

"All this leaves my good Lebanese self with many more questions, including: if there’s no proof that the Lebanese are a race, then what are we? Several ferrets in a trenchcoat? A peripatetic compilation of molecules? Phoenicians?"

According to the ABC, I'm raceless. Or white. Thank goodness!
What even is a Lebanese anyway? You gotta admire the ABC’s moxie in punting that one over to Antoinette Lattouf to solve.

It is beyond belief that our broken environment laws are still in the same failed state as when I was elected to the Senate 10 yrs ago when Tony Abbott was PM.

If you vote Labor thinking they are better than the Libs on the environment you are kidding yourself.

A story about a protest that never happened, and even if it did would have been extremely tiny and targeted at a shopping store window, has been leading The Age website all day. Ie. the editors think it is the most important story in the world.

Theories as to why?

knew this was suspicious when news reported this with “in principle” support from the coalition, such blatant manipulation
So minor parties would be limited to spending $800,000 in each seat, while major parties can spend that and an additional $90m across the country. Plus, they are giving themselves more public funding. All while their vote share is declining. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Crossbench in the gun under laws to shut out big money and ‘protect democracy’
Labor wants to ram through sweeping reforms that would cut the power of big donors and restrict the fundraising of independent candidates.

Israel is preparing to commit genocide

Israel has already dropped more bombs on Gaza in six days than the U.S. dropped on Afghanistan in a single year. Now, the Israeli military is ordering over one million Palestinian civilians to flee their homes. This is genocide and ethnic cleansing.
