I know it’s all been said but as a Tasmanian living in Melbourne during the Port Arthur massacre, I remember the shock, the horror, the sadness…but also the coming together…even John Howard doing the right thing just once.
We’re no longer the same country…bc back then tragedies weren’t weaponised.

One of the worst states has been NSW where the shooters, fishers,and farmers were cuddling up to Minns only a couple of months ago. So while the LNP are not good on these issues, neither is Labor.

The idea that massive crackdown on anti-genocide protests in universities, and refusing to support Palestinian statehood would have somehow prevented last Sunday's terror attack in Bondi has already infected Aus media so deep that they're taking it as a truism

I totally agree with the Jewish Council here.
I will continually speak out against the Netanyahu Govt’s killing of 20,000 innocent children in Gaza.
That appalling action has caused so much anti-semitism around the world.

It's also an act of solidarity with the American resistance.

No foreign tourists should come to the U.S. until we defeat the fascists. Boycott the 2026 World Cup games in the U.S. and the 2028 Olympics in L.A. We are politically diseased and should be quarantined.

"But how do we pay for it?" That never applies to this kind of spending. It only ever applies to stuff like universal basic income and healthcare.
As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.
