Israel has committed genocide. There is no more serious crime under international law. Culpability does not fade simply because there is now a ceasefire agreement, in the same way that a serial killer wouldn't be pardoned if they simply stop killing. There must be consequences.

Spending 40 seconds talking about people returning to Gaza with no food or shelter and a few aid trucks starting to distribute food, then spending 10+ minutes talking about a state of the art hospital in Petah Tikva and interviewing settlers isn't "balanced reporting".

"Centrelink payments are still hundreds of dollars a week below the poverty line. It’s no wonder poverty is rising. People can’t keep up when the basics are unaffordable and support has been frozen in real terms"

Critics say Labor government has failed to raise payments and help alleviate poverty

Kristin O’Connell, a spokesperson for the Antipoverty Centre and a disability support pension recipient, said the Labor government’s failure to raise payments had made things more difficult for those with low incomes.

She said in a statement the group had regularly heard from people who say “life has gotten harder since the Albanese Government came to power”:

Centrelink payments are still hundreds of dollars a week below the poverty line. It’s no wonder poverty is rising. People can’t keep up when the basics are unaffordable and support has been frozen in real terms. …

There’s no such thing as a responsible budget that keeps people in poverty. If you’re proud of balancing the books while people go hungry, you’ve lost sight of what good government means.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.
