The PM's plea for UNITY WILL NOT HAPPEN until we face the fact that our nation was proclaimed on the colonising lie of Terra Nullius. We will be proud, confident in our values & united ONLY when we have reconciled past injustices &, like NZ, signed a Treaty.

YES, the “Four Pillars” of Australia Day (mateship, egalitarianism, freedom & prosperity) are rooted. Australia was colonised on the British lie of Terra Nullius (unoccupied land), so it WAS an un-egalitarian genocidal invasion NOT SOMETHING TO IGNORE OR CELEBRATE!

Are the "Four Pillars" of Australia Day rooted? - Michael West
On Australia Day, we’re supposed to celebrate mateship, egalitarianism, freedom and prosperity. But what if these “pillars” are myths?

The Nationals are not just self-indulgent – they are deeply frightened. They’re spooked by the One Nation vote surge & the defection of Barnaby Joyce. While the Liberals are furious with Littleproud, & blame him, the Coalition split will be most damaging to Ley

Coalition split is massive blow for Ley but fault lies with Littleproud
Sussan Ley may pay the price for the implosion of the Coalition, but the blame rests squarely with Nationals leader David Littleproud.

Burgeoning inequality can only be countered by eradicating its root cause: NEOLIBERAL IDEOLOGY (introduced by Thatcher UK 1979, Reagan US 1981, via the Hayek/Friedman Mont Pelerin Society). Elitist Plutocracy has very dangerously, surreptitiously replaced Democracy

Having appeased the U.S.-Zionist genocide in Gaza, the world is being challenged to further appease threats to Greenland, Venezuela & Canada. There is 'no going back' on appeasement for the world, just as there’s ‘no going back’ on Greenland for Trump. INSANE!

How does the world deal with one of the most powerful countries in the world that has gone rogue and is acting like a fascist bully? Failure to intervene in the USA & Israel ICC ICJ-declared Gaza genocide, now means world order is becoming increasingly tenuous.

Once again, our Upper House, The Senate, our House of Review, is left to save us (?) from the very fascism our older generations fought & died defeating. The Antisemitism Bill must be voted down to keep our democratic freedom to "speak truth to power" (parrhesia).

Blacklist & boycott all authors who haven't withdrawn &, ipso facto, support the Zionist genocide of Palestinians (such genocide determined by the ICJ ICC & yet to be prosecuted at The Hague). Both the Jewish Council of Australia & the World Court of Public Opinion rightly oppose the Zionist pogrom.

The fascism you walk past is the fascism you allow - and live to regret. Shades of Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler. Costing how many lives? Again, in Iraq and Afghanistan, costing how many lives? Pragmatic, safe, appeasement is NEVER the best path. We MUST oppose the rising tide of fascism.
