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.

It's a bold new experiment and it's already won a prize. Residents in a jam-packed slum, many of them living in one-room tin shacks, help design their apartments in a brand new building.
How these slum dwellers went from one-room shacks to beautiful new apartments

Dr Monique Ryan@mon4kooyong.bsky.social · 7d ago80% of Australians support a complete ban on gambling advertising. It’s time the government got on board. Join the campaign today to call on the federal government to protect young Australians from the predatory gambling industry and free our feeds from gambling ads.
"The evidence of the need to act on gambling advertising has never been clearer than it is now." 💯 We need maximum public pressure on the Albanese govt to act on that evidence - and the unanimous Murphy report - instead of acting on instructions from gambling, sports & media lobbyists. #auspol

Scott Morrison was referred to the NACC over Robodebt and the Govt paid his $461K legal fees. I won an #AUKUS nuclear waste #FOI challenge and the Govt is threatening I’ll have to pay their $150K legal fees. @albomp.bsky.social thinks that’s fair play! #auspol

When Labor ignores over ½ million signatures for a RC into Murdoch Media, similar numbers for a ban on Gambling ads, too timid to push gun control, etc. Then the leader shows a lack of self-awareness by engaging in inappropriate events with celebrity weddings, podcasts, dinners, etc.
If the Australian Labor Party just did what was good for the majority of the Australian population and ignored how absolutely shit the opposition and ON were, they’d be even further ahead in the polls with less to worry about. #Auspol.

Powerful, thoughtful convo between host @davemilbo.bsky.social and Greens' @davidshoebridge.bsky.social attending the Pine Gap protest, discussing the #USA and Israel's atrocities and #auspol, on the #SundayShot this morning. So many important comments from both men. Superb.

Laos did something no other country has tried: it banned the import of new gas and diesel passenger cars outright. As of June 1, nearly every new car cleared for import has to be electric. the most aggressive EV mandate on the planet right now, and it has almost nothing to do with consumer demand.
Ed Husic at Labor conference says he’s raising concerns about having our Defence in Israel despite the “genocide” in Gaza, military parts sent there, illegal settlements, Aussies fighting for Israel & being “potentially implicated in war crimes”💥 & dealing with them on “return”
