Are you listening Australia? Zionism as deemed in the U.K. is a racist ideology, it “promotes the establishment of a state for only one race of people", adding that it could also be described as "colonial and imperialistic". The royal commission some are fawning over right now is a farce. #auspol

theconversation.com/newspaper-sp... Cartoonists like @fionakatauskas.bsky.social @cathywilcox.bsky.social, & @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social are the main reason i access news websites. But a correction. Rupert Murdoch was born in 1931. Will Dyson died in 1938. I doubt they were “close” #cartoons

Newspaper space for political cartoons is shrinking – but we need these artists as much as ever

If you have a home listed on AirBnB do us all a favour: return it to the long term rental market, and look down upon anyone suggesting they’re ethically investing while stockpiling short term rental listings as their main “passive income”. 😡 #auspol #InvestForSociety 🤨 #housing

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08... In NSW there’s far more AirBnB’s than there are long term rental listings. The numbers are staggering. And residents are being pushed out for short term profits and those enjoying their holidays with homes to go back to. These are creating #homelessness. #auspol 🤬
