Banning slogans won’t build social cohesion
After Bondi, New South Wales politicians want to ban words and slogans. But rushed laws could punish political speech, not protect the public.

The media continues to use the word "ceasefire" to describe what is absolutely and obviously not a ceasefire, in order to anchor its perception.
Every such headline reinforces the fake narrative that a ceasefire exists, even if it's going "40 more people bombed by Israel during ceasefire"

How did Australian universities go from free education to $50,000 arts degrees in 50 years?
Thanks to the Job Ready Graduates scheme, an arts degree today will cost over $50,000. How have five decades of government policy taken us from free education to this?
