Spot on! Ed Husic is based. So many people of Bosnian heritage, after the genocide on them, have really lived the idea of never again against anyone and been solidly against genocide on the Palestinians.

Israeli war crimes were obvious at the time. Biden's people knew everything and chose to facilitate those war crimes.

I agree about the press gallery. But Michelle Rowland had a chance in 2022 to fight back and chose to support the RW status quo. Anika Wells could still act, but doesn't. Albo's policies should ingratiate him to MSM owners but they just want more. Look how Albo fawns over Lachlan:

No amount of kicking those who are down protects you from fascists. Niemöller commanded a right-wing death-squad in 1920. He voted for Nazis in 24, 28 & 33. He campaigned for antisemitic laws. But he was arrested because he thought religion wasn't racial and Jews could convert.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Figures show a 12.7% fall in international arrivals and 5.7% fall in domestic arrivals at Las Vegas' Harry Reid airport in 2026 compared to 2025. Flight costs are probably part of this drop but I bet ICE is a factor. There's plenty of other reasons to disband ICE but here's another.

My brother-in-laws mum is saying she'll vote ON. Her daughter works in child care. She has two granddaughters with infants. She always said she voted Lib because her dad did and she'd never change. But she has. If only Denis Lushch were right, but I reckon she wants others to suffer.

Starmer has triangulated hard right without managing to pick up rightist voters, creating a space on the left the Greens are skilfully filling. None of the racist transphobes he seeks to appeal to have changed to vote for him. Never that popular, he's a political disaster.

Starmer won 9.7 million votes in 2024, fewer than Corbyn in the 2019 and 2017 elections.

Oh my God! What is the causative mechanism from the iPhone?!? In contrast, over the same period house prices, to pay for the houses where kids would live if their parents could afford those houses, have soared way above income growth. Why platform this craziness NPR?!?

Spot on including our media in this. Given that it's owned by the bloke below, his son, mining oligarchs Stokes and Rinehart and a grab bag of BCA companies, it's no surprise that it platforms and repeats racist narratives.

This is terrible for the people being terrorised by racist violence. It is less terrible for the racists whipped up into violence, but they're going to gaol. Unfortunately, the people it isn't terrible for are the oligarchs and thier fascist rage mongers whipping up hate. Denis Lushch drew it:

Spot on! Thanks for your call to action. As we've seen in the oligarch's takeover in the US, the state can easily be propelled backwards into extreme control of women's bodies. The time to resist is before they win. The time to organise is now.

Spot on! They've already approved mines that will emit 15 years worth of the rest of Australia's CO2 emissions. Their actions accelerate the #ClimateEmergency. This is the size of just 3 of the 31 extensions or new approvals under the Albanese Labor government:

I think they do believe the climate science, they just don't care. I reckon pollies and their staffers think adaptation will work just fine for people in their class and stuff the rest. They're wrong but, for now, they're in an "I'm alright Jack" state of mind.

I agree, we should act now. If this was in the Braidwood Dispatch in 1912 I reckon they knew in America in the 1950s. What the article below got wrong is the timeframe. But, of course, our production of CO2 has massively increased. We should have acted then. We should act now.

Braidwood Dispatch Wednesday 17 July 1912
Coal Consumption Affecting Climate
The furnaces of the world are now burning about 2,000,000,000 tons of coal a year. When this is burned, uniting with oxygen, it adds about 7,000,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere yearly. This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be considerable in a few centuries.

This, below, isn't the case anymore as I believe his brother now does PR for the hotels association (I think) but I think his sister still works for Santos. It doesn't even need to be corruption. Loads of people in his milieu work for gas companies. Sympathy for gas would just seep into him.

The figures below are from 2019 so I reckon things are worse now. To fix this we need public housing, not social housing. Imagine of that $12 billion a year were spent on public housing rather than AUKUS?

Definitely many are there for the racism. Oligarch media is framing ON as 'good' and I reckon we're seeing many RW voters are locked-on to Newscorp not the Libs. The MSM frame ON as anti-establishment and give them salience in low-info voters minds through platforming. Given ...

What a load of tosh. It is clear that the 10 point plan includes "an end to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon." Either Trump reins in Netanyahu or Iran weakens and betrays Hezbollah or the peace plan falls apart. I reckon the first or last of these are most likely.

Iran on Monday delivered a 10-point proposal to end the war with the United States and Israel, according to Iranian state media. The plan was conveyed by Pakistan, which has been acting as a primary intermediary in the conflict, but appeared unlikely to resolve major questions ahead of President Trump’s Tuesday evening deadline for new attacks on Iran.

Two senior Iranian officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said the proposal included a guarantee that Iran would not be attacked again, an end to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the lifting of all sanctions.

In return, Iran would lift its de facto blockade of the key shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran would also impose a fee of roughly $2 million per ship that it would split with Oman, which sits across the strait. Iran would use its share of the proceeds to reconstruct infrastructure destroyed by American and Israeli attacks, rather than demand direct compensation, according to the plan.

UNabla@unabla· Apr 7

Spot on. And, according to reports about the 10 point plan, will charge $2 million for each ship transit of the Strait of Hormuz. Oman, which it appears will get part of the fee, must be laughing. This permanent toll, to be paid in Yuan, on shipping seems a serious defeat for the US.

When Trump started bombing Iran, @albomp.bsky.social made a mistake by not condemning it for impending economic consequences to Australia (if not other reasons too). They will happen. And the RW media and their pollies have laid the groundwork to lyingly blame 'overspending' when it is Trump.

I know! What hypocrisy. There are much more stark examples than below but these reinforce our Government did something about the Russian theft of Crimea and our MSM didn't do a "Russia says" and did call it theft and not a "defensive buffer". Government racism abounds.
