Why did NSW Premier Chris Minns tell the Jewish community "Just as you reclaim Bondi Beach tonight, you have taken back the Opera House as well"?!?! Why would he use such colonialist language? One community group doesn't "claim" ownership of Bondi Beach. Or "take" the Opera House. #auspol #nswpol

Worth revisiting: Shouldn’t the crossbench be the Opposition?
Andrew Wilkie says if the Nats & Libs don’t re-marry, pending election results the crossbench could end up with more members than the Liberal Party & if so,
“By what right does the Liberal Party become the opposition?”

Imagine your country gets invaded, your people are subjected to a rolling genocide for 180 years before the colonists even let you vote, 240 years later your Voice to parliament is rejected, then the first racial hatred legislation introduced by the colonial government isn’t even about you.

Having read the draft of the Australian government's new "hate" legislation, the scope it gives the government of the day to restrict civil society is massive. It's very clear that it could be used to outlaw a Palestine Action-style organisation www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Best of 2025: Richardson was far from the first politician to retire (early, and in some scandal) and to set himself up in a job as a lobbyist. Not merely a gun for hire, helping a businessman to put a winning submission to government. #Auspol
