Not a fucking peep heard from Albo or Wong so far, but as far as I can ascertain, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Canada, and Portugal have already summoned Israeli ambassadors and diplomats for a shirtfronting and South Korea, Turkey, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Germany have issued harsh statements.

The Latin tattoo on Hegseth’s bicep translates to "God Wills It." It was a battle cry for Christians during the First Crusade. This specific tattoo was flagged by fellow National Guard members in 2021 as a potential insider threat due to its adoption by white extremist groups.

To be fair, I think even if Israel murdered the Australians, our snivelling cowardly PM and Foreign Minister would display no more than a healthy dose of deep concern, when in fact, they should be hauling the Israeli ambassador in for a severe shirtfronting, or worse.

Not Segal, nor Albo, nor Crisafulli, nor any of the racist pigs in certain Jewish lobby groups will deny my right to freedom of speech. And if I end up in jail defending it, you can guarantee the graffiti on my cell walls will read “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.

Another woman murdered, another family destroyed, another candlelight vigil held. Occasionally, politicians line up in front of cameras promising action. The media spends a day or two framing incidents as one-off, isolated events rather than as systemic issues, ignoring perpetrators’ accountability in favour of stress, substance abuse, and at times, victim-blaming. Then the outrage fades, the headlines disappear, and the killings continue.

Here’s my submission. I hesitated at first to post this publicly because I knew the repercussions. I knew it would attract abuse and threats. Been there, done that. I just hope it will encourage others to do the same.

Despite changes in language and political control, a recognisable version of the name persisted continuously in historical records for more than 3000 years.

Immigration is consistently used by politicians and commentators as a convenient explanation for Australia’s housing affordability crisis. It’s an easy political out because it reduces a complex economic and political problem to a single target. But they lie; the reality is far more complicated than that, and it won’t fix itself anytime soon because Taylor and Hanson don’t do complicated all that well.

Yes, I think she’s rotten to the core. And that’s neither blood libel nor antisemitism; it’s fact. We have receipts. In a joint statement with the Zionist Federation of Australia on 12 November 2023, Jillian Segal criticised Foreign Minister Penny Wong and the Albanese government for urging Israel to stop attacking Gaza hospitals and for supporting a ceasefire. The statement called such criticism a “libel,” claiming the hospital attack allegations were unfair and that Australia should avoid legitimising narratives that “demonise” Israel. This intervention alone raises important questions about how Segal views dissent, criticism of state violence, and the line between antisemitism and political disagreement.

Fact-checkers struggle to keep up with the pace of Trump's lies as he barrels through rallies, interviews, and late-night social media posts with an unrelenting torrent of exaggerated crowd sizes, fictional economic miracles, conspiracy-laden tales about election fraud that never materialised, and imaginary endorsements from world leaders who had actually denounced him.

Supporters argue that Australia, with its vast uranium reserves and technical expertise, should eventually join the nuclear club. But the global energy landscape has changed dramatically. What may once have appeared plausible now looks increasingly outdated, expensive and impractical for Australia’s circumstances.

They keep telling us that abandoning climate targets and “ditching net zero” would somehow bring down power bills and ease the cost-of-living crisis. It’s a politically effective slogan because it taps into genuine public frustration over rising electricity prices, housing stress, food costs and stagnant wages. But slogans are not economic policy, and when examined closely, the claim simply doesn’t hold up.
