Long retired economist, inter alia. Political economy determines your nation's life course. Not a bad idea to turn control away from the exploiters and to give power back to Ordoliberal social policy. The returns are developmental. New Deal II, why not III

What ceasefire? Stinking Israeli government nothing but a pack of genocidal lying bastards.
The West Bank under assault by the IDF. Zionist settlers will be delighted by official acts of murder contributing to the genocidal impulse.
UN says 32,000 Palestinians forced from their homes in the Israeli-occupied territory with major assault ongoing.

#auspol Trouble with the ALP and it's rusted ons - to everyone except those who run it and are its MP's - is that WE ALL BELIEVE any ALP govt is supposed to be a reiteration of Whitlam's in terms of socio-economic progression. (Hawke/Keating excused bc if they didn't do it the LNP

Why doesn't Ed Husic get the same treatment for speaking truth as Fatima Payman?

That's not to advocate punishment for Ed Husic, to the contrary, it's to demonstrate the hypocrisy Labor dishes out to women, and people of other faiths.

The ALP for social justice - pull the other one.

I do not want to give Labor my vote.Even less the LNP. So if one votes Green and the Green candidate doesn't win, I've rewarded Labor. There has to be a better way.

This abject destruction of humanity by Israel. Mass murder, mass torture, genocide. Every politician in the West knows about it more closely than us because they are briefed with data and photos.

So if humanity doesn't motivate our politicians they also don't have humanity for their constituents.

Dear Howard
When Israeli polling demonstrates the majority of Israeli's are fine with the destruction of Gaza it appears there is little reason not to condemn Israel as a nation. www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/...

Lawyer up then.

Kevin Rudd's links to Epstein I don't think are sexually related. Kangaroo Court making more of that of Rudd being blackmailed over AUKUS is a stretch. Much in the same way Chomky's links are also not sexually related. Epstein had money and that money was used by Epstein to weave a 2nd web.

With Trump seen by America's swing voters as anathema to rationality there will be more Presidential candidates than you can swing a cat at. How many independents/Ralph Nader's will there be, against the odds and common sense, to squeeze out the Corporate Dem candidate in a Gerrymandered system.

Being an apologist for murder doesn't make you a good person. Here's a fact you can also call a lie, or whine about or try to negate.

IOF shoot teenager in the back and then let him bleed out slowly to his death. They do nothing because that was their plan.

This is Israel. This is what liberal Zionists and conservatives defend. Killing kids.

Then they talk about “moral.”
