The Newcastle Writers Festival organisers can see the rake. They understand how a rake on the ground works. They know what happens when you tread on the rake. They’ve seen the swish-thwack of a trodden rake on other festivals. Can they resist rake-stepping?

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

So after Bondi we’ve ramped up visa security, strengthened hate laws, & to show the system works we’re letting in a bloke called Herzog who never apologised for explicitly blaming Palestinian civilians for their own deaths & has been seen signing bombs that were dropped on them?

Secret correspondence between the Attorney General and the head of the NACC Brereton show just how little faith anyone has in his ‘leadership’ of the NACC. Finally the govt has qiestioned his failure to disclose the extent of his ongoing side hustle with part of Defence.

Labor's planned fire sale of Vic Barracks ignores the obvious solution: converting this prime publicly-owned land into social & affordable housing. Selling to the highest bidder while Aus' sleep in cars & tents exposes the govt's misplaced priorities. tinyurl.com/yc7a6u34

Know what needs to be fixed about alcohol? None should be available at Parliament house. We aren't paying you people to debate or make decisions under the influence. Standard employment rules prohibit drinking "on duty" and should apply at parliament too.

How in the fuck do we live in a country where in parts of Australia you’re allowed to meet up to mourn the deaths of 15 people killed at #Bondi but you’re NOT allowed to meet up to mourn the deaths of tens of thousands of slaughtered Palestinians?

If we’re serious about tackling the cost-of-living crisis, we need to put services like electricity and childcare back into public hands.

I'm guessing this only applies to the public assembly of people opposed to Israel's genocide of the Palestinians, and that Zionist pro-genocide supporters of unindicted war criminal Isaac Herzog will be permitted to line the streets and wave their little 🇮🇱 flags. #auspol #nswpol

They should not have invited Herzog to Australia. Now the police are saying they have concerns about how his visit will cause “significant animosity”.
The Albanese Government needs to withdraw this invitation now!

We moved in the Senate for the Albanese government to withdraw the invitation to Israel’s President Herzog to visit Australia. He has literally signed bombs used in the genocide in Gaza. Labor, the Liberals and One Nation joined together to vote it down. That tells you everything

Get this: the Israeli president’s visit will be so divisive, according to NSW Police, that the appropriate response is to ban all public assemblies while he’s here, rather than, say, him not coming.

The homemade explosive thrown into a crowd on #InvasionDay has been described by police as “designed to explode” with “mass casualty” potential.
If that’s not terrorism, we need to re-write the dictionary.

Herzog is a man United Nations committee reported is guilty of incitement for genocide.
Australia behaves like the massacre at Bondi Beach, killing of 15 people, somehow 'justifies' the killing of at least 120 000 people by Israel in the last 29 months.
@albomp.bsky.social is a very misguided man.

I wonder if One Nation would still be rising in polls if media bothered to question the fringe views they stand for
Climate denial, against LGBTIQ+, against women’s rights, abortion
Or when they tried to funnel $ from NRA to weaken gun laws

This is about choices. The government’s priorities mean that you're copping the pain while banks, energy companies & property investors keep winning. Labor must urgently slow housing inflation, scrap tax breaks for wealthy property investors & build social & affordable houses.
