So - a butt-dial with no speech is now anti-semitic and gets you charged and dragged to court ... lawyer expenses ... etc. Do some groups that cannot be named have too much influence in Australia, or what? This is EXISTING law. And they want MORE power?

The explicit carve-outs in the hate-crime laws that teaching scripture isn't hate speech is a cowardly admission by the government and theist lobby groups that scripture is full of text that incites hate.
The examples of racism, religious hate, misogyny, & homophobia abound.

When the Netanyahu-aligned Jerusalem Post publishes something about Mossad's involvement in the protests in Iran, Mossad agents actually being "in the field" with the protesters ... you can bet JPost is understating it.

Trump will get Greenland anyway: the minerals, the ability to pollute it, put troops all over it ...
But will he be gracious? Let Danes save face by keeping it even if in name only?
Or stroke his ego by being the POTUS that expands US territory more than any other?

Denmark can't hold onto Greenland, so I want to see Trump bribe the Danish government to give Greenland independence, which would let Trump try and bribe the Greenlanders - but the Greenlanders ask to be part of a trilingual, not bilingual, Canada.

Greenland already has US bases and has lots of natural resources.
Australia's Northern Territory already has even more strategically critical US bases and has lots of natural natural resources that are easier to extract.
The traitors in Canberra would sell us out in a nanosec.

Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society.
It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.

We'll know any appointment to head a royal commission into so-called anti-semitism is a good one iff they get killed in a road "accident" the day before hearings start.

41C so this bar is full. Apart from the water level - it was up to the brim a couple of hours ago.
(There's another bird bath on the other side of the house, for the smaller birds, as this one has been claimed by the magpies as THEIR "local bar" and they are pretty possessive about it)

Getting rid of capital gains tax discount for the richest 10% of Australian households would let the government put dental in Medicare and have billions left over. It costs even more than JobSeeker.
