Antisemitism has been exceptionalized: "A government can respond to one racism with the full weight of the state and to another with programs and pamphlets" #auspol pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/08...
The government cannot ask Muslims not to compare
The government created a legitimate comparison when it appointed envoys for Islamophobia and antisemitism, and Muslim communities are entitled to ask whether both responses reflect equal protection.

stranger@strangerous.bsky.social · 2d agoVictorians turn out in massive numbers to denounce Pauline Hanson’s “racism and fascism” — swarming her fundraiser to demand she get out of the state.💥 This should be the greeting she gets everywhere she peddles her hate. Well done Victoria. #auspol
Fuck all the way off with this. Howard has never liked multiculturalism. Not because it denotes ‘different tribes’ but because he can’t imagine anyone but someone who looks and thinks like him as ‘Australian’.

In towns where thousands of homes are Airbnbs, renters want a tax
Homelessness NSW says it is easier to get a holiday rental than a long-term rental — and that needs to change. But the industry says those claims are unfair.

Losing Treaty will set us back generations. It's taken forever to get one, and the callous Libs and racist One Nation, who need each other to form government, are willing and/or eager to throw it away. Wasting time and effort and rejecting Aboriginal people yet again.

The experience of Indigenous people took a massive step backwards when The Voice failed. We haven't got much progress since, either. Unless Labor wins in some form in November, the same thing will happen in Victoria when the Libs get rid of Treaty. We won't get another for decades.
