No faith in humanity. End two-party politics. Hold power to account. Integrity and transparency are everything.

“It’s so abundantly clear that all these other things got cooked up out of the prime minister’s office and definitely not out of Wells’ department, who were just so scant in detail that they couldn’t answer questions,” said one industry insider... #Auspol www.afr.com/companies/ga...

‘Policy capture’: The week that exposed Labor’s gambling ties

An explosive week of public hearings exposed the harms of the gambling industry. So why isn’t the government following its own advice on advertising bans?

Naarm/Melbourne has again showed up in force to protest Israeli atrocity in Gaza and the West Bank, grotesque Australian government and corporate complicity, and the silence and indifference of the husks posing as human among us. From the river to the sea.

We mustn’t gift public money to a new refinery. If it needs a ‘resilience’ leg-up, it should be done by equity stake - with a senior official on the board to guard against price gouging, tax evasion and to ensure national interest is ever present. #auspol

Were any of the arrested or shot people Israeli? Have any Israeli homes been seized and demolished by Israeli authorities? But it's not an apartheid state committing crimes against humanity, right? Just the thought of such thing is deeply #antisemitic. Right? #FuckZionism #SettlersAreTerrorists

it is an incorporated entity, according to the ASECA testimony at the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Sicual Cohesion. Why are ABC reporters calling this incorporated entity an organisation - centre - body? Where has the confusion arisen?

Ms Seagal said an independent organisation had been established to provide educational training aimed at combating antisemitism.
The National Centre for Education Against Antisemitism (NCEAA) will deliver training and educational material to a range of organisations across government, schools and the not-for-profit and business sectors.
The body is understood to operate independently of both the government and the special envoy's office.
Ms Segal told the inquiry Jennifer Westacott, chancellor of Western Sydney University, and business leader Catherine Fritz-Kalish had been appointed as co-chairs of the organisation.
The centre was proposed by the special envoy and has been in development over the past few months.

Can't wait for Pauline Hanson to support this High Court challenge in QLD! "We all need to have the courage, and the freedom, to say what we think on issues that are important to us all." What issue could be more important than opposing #genocide? #auspol #freespeech #SanctionIsrael #FromTheRiver

The phrases "from the river to the sea" and "globalise the intifada" were deemed antisemitic by the government and outlawed when used to menace or offend someone.

it is incredibly unlikely the alleged phrase - which says nothing about Jews and references only zionists - is antisemitic in a real sense, or to a legal standard. This is a text book case of why zionists demand their definition of “antisemitism”. They want anti-zionism silenced, in the genocide.
