Concerns have been raised that NSW Police objected to pro-Palestinian and climate protests but let neo-Nazi actions go unopposed.
The NSW government says it is reviewing police processes that allowed the stunt to go unchallenged.
Are NSW police Nazi sympathisers?

Donald Trump claims to be "Pro-Life." Indeed, he was the first sitting president to attend the annual March for Life.

But this didn't stop him from conspiring with Elon Musk to kill 600,000 (so far) people, 2/3 of them children. You see, when Elon says we need more children he means *white* ones.

More than 60 people attended Saturday morning’s rally after notifying police more than a week ago. The police commissioner said he had no idea it was going to happen.

Yes - this sums up Trump very neatly.

Complete devoid of any empathy - or even understanding - for the suffering of others.
Congratulations to the photographer. Historic shot.

#DementiaDon Trump stands emotionally devoid behind his desk, his shoulders dropped, hands by his side. His eyes looking slightly left… blankly.

The sandwich guy has been acquitted.

When the jury did not return a quick verdict, it looked like he might be toast.

Turns out they needed to chew on it some more.

In New York, Zohran Mamdani represents generational change, and a voice for Millennials, Gen Z, progressives, and the working poor.
In Australia, we’re stuck with deeply institutionalised career party apparatchiks who are little more than a voice for donors and narrow party ideology.

The CPSU have also done bugger-all work on this for years other than to say the CES should come back. Get serious and involve yourselves please.
I'm boring & repetitive but The Emperor Has No Clothes:

'The CPSU has said Australia’s employment services system are “a complete failure”'; they're not. They generate incomes (profits) for private owners. That's a success. It's both the intent and effect of privatisation.
