Incredible footage - a new video shows a full minute before an incident where an protest attendee was repeatedly punched by police. Both the Premier and NSW Police have told us not to judge 30 second videos because we don't know what preceeded them. Well...

I’ve voted Labor all my life and for most of it lived in Sydney. Town Hall is not close to the ICC, Parliament House is on the opposite side of the CBD to ICC. I will never vote Labor again. #ShameLaborShame #Auspol2026

" #Sudan is facing one of the worst crises in education in the world.
Since April 2023 conflict has forced more than 6000 schools to close.
Many have been damaged and others are used to shelter families.
That means more than 8 million children can't go to class."

My thoughts are with Palestinian, Muslim, Jewish, and First Peoples this week. These ripples of disruption and hate caused by a war criminal & génocidaire walking freely on Country (in places where multiple massacres, terror & genocides of First Peoples have occurred since 1788) is very traumatic

Speculation on #Insiders of changes to the CGT legislation. About time. Still need to focus on housing for working class Australians who will never afford to buy a home.
Labor should establish a national housing commission and build homes for battlers.

Debate on #Insiders over govt spending. No mention of $Bs spent on subsidising jobs in the UK and USA through the utter stupidity that is AUKUS. Building homes for the US military while Aussies sleep on the street is political and economic madness.
