I'll be home in Oz for a couple of months from Aug and booked a few events at Festival of Dangerous Ideas (sold out) and this one for Curious at the Sydney Opera House on the creeping scourge of authoritarianism around the world, institutional cowardice etc. www.sydneyoperahouse.com/curious/can-...

After witnessing what is occurring globally and what has happened to one of our closest allies USA, it should be obvious to us all that we must stop sitting back and allow this organised and well funded rise in fascism! It has already infiltrated many institutions here in Australia! Times come!!!

This is the shit I see on FB every day - from ppl in a large group of which I am a member. Don't know them personally but they are all 65+, uneducated, white, regional women, great fans of Poorleen. They *love* #DawnFraser! And SkyNews. I don't know what to do anymore. 🤯
Is this what you want for #Australia, @albomp.bsky.social? That's what it looks like to me. I am not alone. We will NOT be #Silenced on #Genocide by #Israel. #auspol
